@dpshtintolrnt1 At least in the UK Queen were number one with Bohemian Rhapsody lol. Well, from the 29th of November onwards anyway, before that it was Billy Conolly with a crap comedy song.

@ChuckieinMT Haha, the dry-hump dance!! Love that one...Hey, was this a bike show or something with entertainment or did they haul those bikes up in the air just for this song? And how about those homos on the bikes in the beginning? All that trouble for a few seconds that the babes were riding bikes with a superimposed background? I'm still stuck on the red head on the left. I'd like to see her drunk and sloppy. haha
@rino19ny Lyrics must have been cribbed onto the back of their hands, a la Ms. Palin when discussing policy. Definitely among the most challenging of the 1970s, along with those from The Hustle, and Gary Glitter's Rock and Roll (Parts 1 and 2.) All good-natured and enjoyable nonetheless, in small doses, despite being the musical equivalent of candy corn or circus peanuts.
@metralani Yes! You're mistaken, Silver Convention was a German group produced by Sylvester Levay and Michael Kunze. This music gained a Grammy in 1975. And YES again: Milli Vannilli was a german group (?) produced by Frank Farian (who also worked on Boney M.) and won a Grammy too (the rest of the history you know...)
@luisnavas14 It was a dance song and that's all anyone ever used it for, because that's all it was meant to be. So it didn't matter then and it don't matter now. LOL
That naked silver bitch freaked me out at first but wouldnt you love to see her fly down the freeway like that with her titts flyin in the wind?..Think she'd get pulled over?....Maaaaaybe so!
Who wouldve thought we peaked in the 70s? Disco was amazing as was rock and Top 40. Life was alot easier back then. Not like today where its seems the entire world is on a verge of collapse
Good old stuff! I was too young to attend discos when it came out but a few years later I would dance it (and all that came along) to the flashing disco lights all night long... drunk and stoned... no guilt... no politically-correct stupidity, no nothing but fun! Nowadays, every band or solo singer is invented by the media... invented lyrics, invented melody, invented celebrities... WTF!
One of the best and simple song for kids to sing along. But the pic at 0:48 could have been avoided. May be, it could be portraying just the simple German liberal views point.
One of the truly great Disco tunes. But, back in the day, who gave a crap about who was singing or what the song was as long as you could dance to it. You can't dance to Isaac Hayes. You can fuck while listening to Isaac Hayes and that makes Isaac my hero. But you simply can't dance to the Theme From Shaft. For the record: The BEST Disco song EVER is "Brick House" by the Commodores. You can fuck OR dance while Brick House is playing. So let's get to Fucking! Or Dancing. Or Whatever.
Congratulations for your good memories. I'm sure you looked cool in your corduroy leisure suit, and four inch platform shoes.
Most of my friends and I, tended to avoid adult-controlled school dances, preferring instead, to spend time on the lake shore, sitting on the hood of a '67 Chevy convertible, drinking beer, smoking joints, and enjoying each other's company, while real music played on the 8-Track.
This was the #1 song in the US when I was born, and only for that week. Bohemian Rhapsody was #1 the week before and the week after. That really set the pace for the rest of my life, I still haven't recovered.
They're the Silver Convention, and dress predominantly in gold? Okay. This somehow reminds me of movie intermission music. I was about 10 when this came out, and I think they used to play it on TV when they were having "Technical difficulties." Good old days for sure!!
I remember falling asleep to this song as a kid! My folks entered my name on a raffle ticket and it won an AM radio... I WAS A GOD with that radio (as long as I had an outlet to plug it into lol) A soothing trac...
Oh yes KC and the Sunshine Band was one of the great crossover bands of the 70s. Do you know what a crossover band is or do you just groove on homogenizd pop groups. There is such a thing as soul and a doubt bands like Black Sabbath knew how to spell it. And it is not sole!
Discoplus, or whatever your cryptic name is, should understand that Disco was DANCE music. There was no way you could dance to a lot of the artist's creations named. Clapton, Black Sabbath {cmon), and the rest of the gaggle you named laid major bombs too. All great (Black Sabbath?) but most of the music was not geared for dancing. Most of it was for bobble heads who shook their heads out of rhythm and were wasted. Yes,, Fleetwood, Elo ruled, the rest were for a certain taste in music. BLK SAB?
Because, along with the Bee Gees, they were the kings of Disco for a while there, and another of those bands you couldn't escape from.
My only solace is that "K.C." is now a bald old man, dressed in gold lame', and playing at the Happy Valley Motor Court, in front of 50-60 year olds, and a few kids, asking, "You mean this guy was a big deal? Really?"
Thank you, Led Zepplin, The Who, Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, Jethro Tull, Clapton, Yes, ELP, ELO, BTO, The Tubes, Fleetwood Mac, The Ramones, The Runaways, Steve Miller, Frampton, and even The Knack, and so many others, for getting me though that horrible era, when I was forced to hear this song on the radio.
Thank you all, for helping me to survive the soulless, plastic Disco times.
There was a time, between radio, television, Musak (elevator music), and every other known form of audio-visual media, that you couldn't avoid vapid, soul-sucking Disco music.
Judging by your username, I assume this is the same time, you refer to as, "The Golden Age" of popular music.
Oh, and I forgot to mention, Pink Floyd, Aerosmith, Boston, Mott the Hoople, Janis Joplin, and Jimi Hendrix.
But I am very very happy to love Disco Music. AND also Pink Floyd, Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin, ELO, BTO, Fleetwood Mac, The Ramones. etc, etc... I guess you and lot of people only knows commercial disco music.
I am now discovering many wonders that music industry hide from us, you'll be amazed.
I did not live at this time. maybe it was a kind of tiring.
I don't know what deeper meaning you're finding in the likes of, "Fly Robin, Fly"?
But obviously, you weren't the only one that loved Disco. (Although, I suspect the outlawing of Quaaludes had much to do with it's decline in popularity.)
@skeilak Poor you, you have a terrible taste in music, the stuff you mentioned doesnt have anything to do with music though. Im not a big silver convention fan, no... but im a HUUUGE fan of what you call a "plastic" music, yeaaah!!! its always been a biggest part of my life, everything for me, and will always be! ITALO-DISCO, EURO DISCO, Hi-NRG etc. The only kinds of music that deserve existing and MUST be adored !!!!!
Oh, you're so right... 70's Syntho Euro-Wienie Disco will still be cool, long after Led Zepplin, The Who, Pink Floyd, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix. Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, Aerosmith, Boston, Mott the Hoople, Jethro Tull, Eric Clapton, Yes, ELP, ELO, BTO, The Tubes, Fleetwood Mac, AC/DC, The Ramones, The Runaways, Steve Miller, and Peter Frampton, are long forgotten.
@skeilak Yeah, exactly, Disco is so much cooler than Rock, none has a doubt about it. By the way, im not that much into 70's, more 80s. Anyway, i wont even argue with you cause as i can see you're american and it explains everything, US have always been isolated from really great music, this is mostly part of your culture, strange music, strange culture, strange movies, id even say "silly" if not stupid. but in the 80's, movies, music and your culture were a bit better, now its absolutely spoilt
@skeilak today, since 90s the whole world is going to nowhere. Talking about music... you know, i always hated and never accepted any kind of pop music, i mean today pop. Untill i first time heard the J-pop, its defenitely not any worse than italo, euro disco and hi-nrg, i can tell you this as a real disco lover and devoted fan. And thats a reason why DISCO is vvvery popular in japan today, maybe even more than in the 80s, and most of j-pop is made of disco 80's.
@skeilak Disco comes from Italy and Germany by the way. I dont know why but for me rock, metal, hip hop, rap and so on are pure nothing, because it has absolutely nothing in it, except for silly tunes and yelling out not less silly words and sentences. I also forgot to mention 90's techno, which is the worst music ever, i mean american and european 90s techno, cause as i recently found out, japanese 90s techno was just like pure 80s disco, sounded more like arabesque, a bit faster and upbeat
Actually, I seem to recall that "disco" started in America, with the vapid song, "Do the Hustle".
And I know exactly why you think Rock, Hip Hop, and Rap, are all meaningless and silly, and also you seem to think mindless dance beats are so very profound, and meaningful.
@discothequeplus ...Great answer....I want to take this moment and Thank You for having this wonderful song. I like classic rock, disco, high energy, cumbias, musica romantica, country music, merengue, salsa, etc. I always appreciate great music and that is why I am a Music Lover.... Thank you my friend.......JORGE AKA MAYANGOD1ISBACK....
Oh, it wasn't just my sad story. It was a Nation's sad story. Perhaps, even the story of the entire civilized world.
For like the Black Plague, before it, Disco was a global scourge. And like the Black Plague, Disco eventually ran it's course, and faded away.
Though, to this day, small out-breaks of Disco have been known to crop up, most often at 30-40 year reunions. Fortunately, Disco can usually be warded off, with drunken cries of, "Play some Skynard!"
@skeilak @ Awwwww, Poor U ... probably was forced to bend over 4 ur stepdad's piston polish too ... and turned out Happy & Gay eventually - LOL !!! ;D
@skeilak Why do you do this nagging here and with disrespect to the uploader of this clip? I was and am greatfull fot those wonderfull disco years. It gave me the possibility to escape those repetitive radio airplayed
rock tunes you heard EVERY-DAY you summed up above
Is your life now, as empty, shallow, and vapid, as Disco music was then?
But I hear you. After all, what could be more "repetitive" than real Rock, as opposed to the deep, soul-searching profundity, and infinite variety of Disco.
Who could ever forget where they were, the first time they heard, "I wan'na Boogie Ooggie Ooggie, all night long..."?
If that doesn't touch your soul, you ain't go a heart. Am I right?
@skeilak I love all those bands you mentioned, well maybe not Black Sabbath but... hey, I loved this song too! See, I LOVE music and I can hear all kinds of genre's underlying Disco - Disco came from Funk - its a HYBRID of Soul, Funk, Rock n' Roll and Classical Music. Now, if you create borders or fronts that determine how cool you are, then thats you. But I can sit here and listen to this and also some Rush or AC/DC along with Weather Report then skip to Dylan/Joni, no problem its all good!
This "song" in particular, always typified for me, the vapid banality of Disco.
I do agree with you, to an extent, that if your took the genres you mentioned, watered them down enough, removed all artistry, color, and expression, you would be left with something like Disco.
I could see going from Rush to Dylan, but could you then go to Disco, without it feeling like you're painfully grinding gears? Wouldn't you hit the skip button, and hope for Duran Duran?
@skeilak Of course he did & I agree. But aside okay, from this song, if you listen to other Disco era songs, you'll find many of them Blues based, even Gospel!
Sylvester watch?v=Ue2UXnxp8Rs - the open hihat - think of it as the fast Gospel clap, remove your mind from the Disco... feel that Gospel! Its in there! He was brought up in Gospel Church Chiors, his voice, near Aretha-like!
Thelma Houston - Don't leave me this way - watch?v=jPonwzdJz0Q remove the Disco beat in the verses - Blues baby!

Most of it was for bobble heads who shook their heads out of rhythm and were wasted. Yes,, Fleetwood, Elo ruled, the rest were for a certain taste in music. BLK SAB?

Because, along with the Bee Gees, they were the kings of Disco for a while there, and another of those bands you couldn't escape from.
My only solace is that "K.C." is now a bald old man, dressed in gold lame', and playing at the Happy Valley Motor Court, in front of 50-60 year olds, and a few kids, asking, "You mean this guy was a big deal? Really?"

Thank you, Led Zepplin, The Who, Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, Jethro Tull, Clapton, Yes, ELP, ELO, BTO, The Tubes, Fleetwood Mac, The Ramones, The Runaways, Steve Miller, Frampton, and even The Knack, and so many others, for getting me though that horrible era, when I was forced to hear this song on the radio.
Thank you all, for helping me to survive the soulless, plastic Disco times.

Oh, trust me, it wasn't so simple.
There was a time, between radio, television, Musak (elevator music), and every other known form of audio-visual media, that you couldn't avoid vapid, soul-sucking Disco music.
Judging by your username, I assume this is the same time, you refer to as, "The Golden Age" of popular music.
Oh, and I forgot to mention, Pink Floyd, Aerosmith, Boston, Mott the Hoople, Janis Joplin, and Jimi Hendrix.

@skeilak Ok, opinions should be respected.
But I am very very happy to love Disco Music. AND also Pink Floyd, Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin, ELO, BTO, Fleetwood Mac, The Ramones. etc, etc... I guess you and lot of people only knows commercial disco music.
I am now discovering many wonders that music industry hide from us, you'll be amazed.
I did not live at this time. maybe it was a kind of tiring.

I don't know what deeper meaning you're finding in the likes of, "Fly Robin, Fly"?
But obviously, you weren't the only one that loved Disco. (Although, I suspect the outlawing of Quaaludes had much to do with it's decline in popularity.)
Good luck, on your voyage of discovery.

@skeilak Poor you, you have a terrible taste in music, the stuff you mentioned doesnt have anything to do with music though. Im not a big silver convention fan, no... but im a HUUUGE fan of what you call a "plastic" music, yeaaah!!! its always been a biggest part of my life, everything for me, and will always be! ITALO-DISCO, EURO DISCO, Hi-NRG etc. The only kinds of music that deserve existing and MUST be adored !!!!!

Oh, you're so right... 70's Syntho Euro-Wienie Disco will still be cool, long after Led Zepplin, The Who, Pink Floyd, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix. Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, Aerosmith, Boston, Mott the Hoople, Jethro Tull, Eric Clapton, Yes, ELP, ELO, BTO, The Tubes, Fleetwood Mac, AC/DC, The Ramones, The Runaways, Steve Miller, and Peter Frampton, are long forgotten.
Because Disco is so much cooler than Rock.
At least in your Quaalude damaged fantasies. *L*
skeilak 8 months ago
@skeilak Yeah, exactly, Disco is so much cooler than Rock, none has a doubt about it. By the way, im not that much into 70's, more 80s. Anyway, i wont even argue with you cause as i can see you're american and it explains everything, US have always been isolated from really great music, this is mostly part of your culture, strange music, strange culture, strange movies, id even say "silly" if not stupid. but in the 80's, movies, music and your culture were a bit better, now its absolutely spoilt
87055446137 8 months ago
@skeilak today, since 90s the whole world is going to nowhere. Talking about music... you know, i always hated and never accepted any kind of pop music, i mean today pop. Untill i first time heard the J-pop, its defenitely not any worse than italo, euro disco and hi-nrg, i can tell you this as a real disco lover and devoted fan. And thats a reason why DISCO is vvvery popular in japan today, maybe even more than in the 80s, and most of j-pop is made of disco 80's.
87055446137 8 months ago
@skeilak Disco comes from Italy and Germany by the way. I dont know why but for me rock, metal, hip hop, rap and so on are pure nothing, because it has absolutely nothing in it, except for silly tunes and yelling out not less silly words and sentences. I also forgot to mention 90's techno, which is the worst music ever, i mean american and european 90s techno, cause as i recently found out, japanese 90s techno was just like pure 80s disco, sounded more like arabesque, a bit faster and upbeat

@87055446137
Actually, I seem to recall that "disco" started in America, with the vapid song, "Do the Hustle".
And I know exactly why you think Rock, Hip Hop, and Rap, are all meaningless and silly, and also you seem to think mindless dance beats are so very profound, and meaningful.
Because you are both an idiot, and a troll.

Oh, it wasn't just my sad story. It was a Nation's sad story. Perhaps, even the story of the entire civilized world.
For like the Black Plague, before it, Disco was a global scourge. And like the Black Plague, Disco eventually ran it's course, and faded away.
Though, to this day, small out-breaks of Disco have been known to crop up, most often at 30-40 year reunions. Fortunately, Disco can usually be warded off, with drunken cries of, "Play some Skynard!"

Over-reacting much?
Is your life now, as empty, shallow, and vapid, as Disco music was then?
But I hear you. After all, what could be more "repetitive" than real Rock, as opposed to the deep, soul-searching profundity, and infinite variety of Disco.
Who could ever forget where they were, the first time they heard, "I wan'na Boogie Ooggie Ooggie, all night long..."?
If that doesn't touch your soul, you ain't go a heart. Am I right?

@skeilak I love all those bands you mentioned, well maybe not Black Sabbath but... hey, I loved this song too! See, I LOVE music and I can hear all kinds of genre's underlying Disco - Disco came from Funk - its a HYBRID of Soul, Funk, Rock n' Roll and Classical Music. Now, if you create borders or fronts that determine how cool you are, then thats you. But I can sit here and listen to this and also some Rush or AC/DC along with Weather Report then skip to Dylan/Joni, no problem its all good!

@wendileona
This "song" in particular, always typified for me, the vapid banality of Disco.
I do agree with you, to an extent, that if your took the genres you mentioned, watered them down enough, removed all artistry, color, and expression, you would be left with something like Disco.
I could see going from Rush to Dylan, but could you then go to Disco, without it feeling like you're painfully grinding gears? Wouldn't you hit the skip button, and hope for Duran Duran?

Okay, that's Isaac Hayes. The man who wrote, "Shaft".
And despite the name of the tune, there's more of classic Funk in that piece, than Disco.
Though it would seem that your argument from a week ago, does make more sense, if this is what you had in mind.
But, I think we could both agree, that Isaac Hayes' flatulence, had more real soul than the entire Disco genre.
skeilak 7 months ago
@skeilak Of course he did & I agree. But aside okay, from this song, if you listen to other Disco era songs, you'll find many of them Blues based, even Gospel!
Sylvester watch?v=Ue2UXnxp8Rs - the open hihat - think of it as the fast Gospel clap, remove your mind from the Disco... feel that Gospel! Its in there! He was brought up in Gospel Church Chiors, his voice, near Aretha-like!
Thelma Houston - Don't leave me this way - watch?v=jPonwzdJz0Q remove the Disco beat in the verses - Blues baby!
