Because I can remember random facts about 1970s disco better than I can remember what I did last week I immediately recognized the song "I Feel Love" by Donna Summer, which includes the profound lyrics:
As the song was ending Tony returned and we got ready to leave. However, the music wasn't finished. The next tune was "The Hustle", another one embedded in my brain with lyrics that are even more profound :
(Are you singing along in your head yet?🤣)
I quickly realized that our route across the parking lot would take us right past the source of the music, which turned out to be coming from the speakers of a huge white pickup truck driven by a man who looked to be about my age. He was pulling out of his parking space as I walked past, and he noticed that I was doing a little bop to the music.
As he drove away the man told me he played disco everywhere he went because it was the greatest music ever.
Somehow I don't think everyone would agree with his assessment or his method of sharing his love.Five years ago: Constructive Wait Time
I was never really into the disco scene, but I knew the songs, and the beat definitely made you want to dance. By the time disco arrived, I was pregnant with small children, and the only dancing I did was with the kids.
ReplyDeleteI did a lot of dancing around the house with my kids, too :-)
DeleteDisco is fine but I rather like the Big Hair Bands of the 80's more.
ReplyDeleteI like that there's a type of music for everyone.
DeleteYeah, disco was never known for its profound lyrics, LOL.
ReplyDeleteLOL indeed :-)
DeleteWhat fun! Has the music in your head stopped yet?
ReplyDeleteNO! And I need something else to take its place
DeleteOh I can promise I would have been full on dancing in that parking lot!! Thanks for sharing. From Helen in Oregon.
ReplyDeleteAn infectious beat must be taken advantage of.
DeleteAh yes, disco will never die, and IYAM, that's a good thing. Example? Chaka Khan's song Like Sugar, released in 2019: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RecY5iZn6B0
ReplyDeleteI was under the impression that disco music had died until I was introduced to new stuff a couple of years ago.
DeleteI enjoyed the disco days
ReplyDeleteMe too
DeleteI love disco! I was a teenager back in the 70s and I still love that music today. Very happy, upbeat and gets you moving!
ReplyDeleteI was a teenager in the early 70s. :)
DeleteI agree with all of your assessments,
DeleteI'll never forget one morning I was driving into work when, out of the blue, the "Hustle" came on my soft-rock station. It's a wonder I didn't wreck my car while moooooving to the music. It's yesterday once more.
ReplyDeleteFunny! I would have done the same thing too.
