Confessions of a stage Mom needs a really good Disco Song. She requested that we leave her a song on her blog but I couldn't think of one song that really says "Disco" because, like her, I was just a little girl when the Disco thing was going on.
Here are some songs we came up with. Mind you most of them I do not know myself but there are a few I remember hearing from time to time on the car radio or when the baby sitter came over. Feel free to correct any names on the list that are not from the 70s. If you have a favorite please let me or Stage Mom know. I think this will be fun!
1. Disco Duck - Rick Dees
(I remember hearing this played in the car, stores, elevators, everywhere)
2. Dancing Queen - ABBA
3. Cher Chez La Femme - Dr. Buzzard's Original
5. Le Freak - Chic
6. Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now - McFadden & Whitehead
7. Dance, Dance, Dance - Chic
8. You Should Be Dancing - Bee Gees
9. Car Wash - Rose Royce
(We had to do arobics to this in our middle school gym class. My guess is it was one of the gym teacher's favorite songs in her hay day.)

20. Turn The Music Up - Players Association
21. Dancin' And Prancin - Candido (sounds like a good title)

35. Rappers Delight - Sugarhill Gang. This was HILLARIOUS! I use to watch my two brothers stand in front of the stereo console mouthing the words to this!! I wouldn't recommend it for your daughter but oh my goodness did that song bring back funny memories!
I remember watching a movie recently called Muriel's Wedding and her favorite group was ABBA. She even walked down the isle at her "Green Card" wedding to an ABBA song. I thought the part where she and her friend entered a contest and performed an ABBA song was really funny. Muriel's Wedding sound track CD Click here to listen.

Is Early Michael Jackson considered disco? LOVE "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough"
Also, there is "new" disco...new alt. music is taking on the old disco sound (and 80's too!)
One that I can think of is "Hard to Beat" from Hard-FI.
Oh WOW!!!
You did this for me?? Thank you!!!
I hope I'll be able to return the favor :o)
What a list! There are a bunch I didn't even think of that we are going to have to put before princess to get her inspired LOL
I'll keep you posted on how this goes - the routine is really cute, now we just have to finalize the song!!! (with a little help from our friends, of course!)
wait was '
I will survive
disco?
I mean, I was a kid and I think we were fading out of disco into that warped 70s rock of blue oyster cult, black sabbath and and, yes I had an older brother who deeply appreciated KISS and AC/DC.
But I loved Olivia Newton John.
oh, i love this list! here's more: born to be alive, my sharona, and those from the beach boys!!!
am printing this list as a 'guide' as my kids love disco music, too; just like their mom :D
