[Closed] FK's Fun Thread of the Week - Best Disco Song

Page 1 / 2

I stumbled across my husbands stash of disco music (ah, the BeeGees) tonight while I was looking for something different to listen to for a change. And it made me think of a rather interesting fun thread for the week. :P What, in your opinion, is the best disco song of all time? ;))

I've got two that I can't decide between... One has got to be Saturday Night by the Bay City Rollers. It's just so catchy and fun! :D (Though I'm not really sure it quite classifies as disco ;)) )

But the one that makes me want to bust out the disco ball and imitate John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever is Bonnie Tyler's Holding Out For a Hero, which was forever immortalized in Shrek 2. :D

(Hopefully the younger members on here have parents who still listen to disco music and I haven't excluded them completely. ;)) )

aah the BeeGees. Somehow a concert DVD and a few CDs made their way in to our household. And somehow they also made it on to the iPod. And somehow I listened to them. Why? I don't know. The result? I love it! :p Ooh yes, a teenager who loves disco music. Since I've mainly only listened to the BeeGees my favorite song would probably be Disco Inferno. I don't know if that's well liked or not, but like I said, I haven't listened to alot of it so I don't know many songs. Ah why am I even posting this? It's embarassing! I like rock music! Not disco! :-s [-( :p

Stayin Alive. No contest. Close second? Does Your Mother Know, by ABBA.

Saturday Night by the Bay City Rollers is close in there. I recall well hearing that when at the roller skating rink.

“Safe?” said Mr. Beaver; “don’t you hear what Mrs. Beaver tells you? Who said anything about safe? ‘Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good. He’s the King, I tell you.”

In the Navy.

*cough*

In general, I'm a fan of Earth, Wind and Fire. "September" is an awesome song, of course, but there's plenty more from where that came from.

And "Y.M.C.A." still never fails to raise a crowd at karaoke night. ;)

Oh, and also "Dancing Queen". But then again, I like a lot of ABBA, so that's not surprising, and they've certainly done more than just disco, though their disco songs are no less fun. (For those curious, their "Voulez-Vous" album has most of their disco stuff, including lesser-known ones.)

Edit: Oh, who am I kidding? "Does Your Mother Know" is ABBA's best disco song. :p

I know no disco music off the top of my head except for what I've heard from my parent's music collections. ;)) ABBA is probably the only one I actually like from that category, "Dancing Queen" is pretty interesting...
I do recall hearing catchy ones like Saturday Night and others, including various artist's names.

#1 for me is "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees. Yep. Love that song ... and the group! Turn on those disco balls and lights! ;))
"We are Family" is a definite, strong favourite of mine, originally sung by Sister Sledge: it has had numerous covers done.
I liked "Dancing Queen" okay, 'though other ABBA songs I enjoy a good deal more. I actually found "DQ" a bit slow for my liking. :p

Even if one isn't a fan of this style—which I am mostly not—you have to admit, you gotta get up and dance when a good disco song comes on! :D/

I'm not really a Disco type person, but I will say that one of my favorites is "Stayin Alive by The Bee Gees"

Answer: There is no "best" Disco song. :p ;)

Yeah, I'm not one who likes Disco very much. Actually, I borderline despise it. Still, there are a few songs that I can stand:

Stayin Alive ~Bee Gees (more fun to parody this one or try without success at singing the high notes)

Dancing Queen ~ABBA

Umm, yeah, that's it. :p

Hmm, the best disco song?

"Y....M....C....A..." :D/ ;)) You can't get any more classic than that. :D

Although "Stayin' Alive" is a very close second... B-)

Ah, memories of college days. ;))

"Dancing Queen," "Y.M.C.A." and "Stayin' Alive" probably top my list - though "Saturday Night" is quite the earworm. ;)

(Just about any disco song on the ABBA Gold collection ranks up there for me).

But don't forget Disco Duck - not among my 'best' list but strangely memorable.

For those of you that have no idea what we're talking about, here's a great 'snapshot' of 1970's disco music:

For me: I love ABBA and there are just so many of their songs that I really like:
"Mamma Mia"; "Take a Chance on Me"; "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!"; so many more...

Then, of course, "YMCA"; "Car Wash"; "We Are Family"; "That's the Way I Like It"; "Disco Inferno"; and the great "I Love the Nightlife (the Disco 'Round)"

Love God, love people
