Burn Mona Lisa (Substituted Audio) Georgia Artist, Protest of Leonardo da Vinci's Painting

Mona Lisa (also known as La Gioconda) is a 16th century portrait painted in oil on a poplar panel by Leonardo da Vinci during the Italian Renaissance. The work is owned by the French government and hangs in the Musée du Louvre in Paris, France with the title Portrait of Lisa Gherardini, wife of Francesco del Giocondo.
The painting is a half-length portrait and depicts a woman whose expression is often described as enigmatic.[2][3] The ambiguity of the sitter's expression, the monumentality of the half-figure composition, and the subtle modeling of forms and atmospheric illusionism were novel qualities that have contributed to the painting's continuing fascination. Few other works of art have been subject to as much scrutiny, study, mythologizing and parody.

Original Audio: Disco Infero, The song was originally performed by the Trammps in 1976 and released as a single. Although it topped the U.S. Disco chart, it was not a significant success at pop radio, peaking at number fifty-three on the Billboard Hot 100. According to famed mixer Tom Moulton (who mixed the record), the levels had been set wrong during the mixdown of the tracks, resulting in a much wider dynamic than was commonly accepted at the time. Due to this the record seems to "jump out" at the listener.
"Disco Inferno" gained much greater recognition once it was included on the soundtrack to the 1977 film Saturday Night Fever. Re-released by Atlantic Records, the track peaked at number eleven in the U.S. during the spring of 1978, becoming the Trammps' biggest and most-recognized single. Later, it was included in the Saturday Night Fever musical, interpreted by the 'DJ Monty' in the "Odissey 2001" discotheque.
The song also became an unofficial theme song for New York Yankees outfielder Bernie Williams. It was often played at Yankee stadium while the scoreboard/video system displayed the phrase "Bern Baby Bern," a play on the song's refrain and Williams' first name.
On September 19, 2005, "Disco Inferno" was inducted into the Dance Music Hall of Fame.
The song was used during the trailer to the Adam Sandler comedy, Bedtime Stories.

You mentioned my two favs! Kahlo and Klimt!

Word has it... Mona Lisa might have been a boy.

[clow2ground]

Yeah, I have heard the same thing. Maybe she was transgender. Either way she is not attractive to me.

Thanks to all for your comments

The beauty to the Mona Lisa is found in the allegory of the left -vs- the right. She is a symbol of duality. : )

Amen on burning the Ice-T CD! Teachers and historians tend to look on the Mona Lisa as a beautiful woman, but I'm really respecting him right now because Da Vinci himself did not think she was beautiful. It is said that on that day, he was seeking out a plain model, no real character to her face. I actually went the L'ouvre on one of my trips to Paris. The thing is like 18" tall, and she's not atttractive. I don't get all the hype either, but I agree with you! Burn Mona and Ice-T, (TARD!)
