Any Disco Fans Out There??


The Gun Of Bavaria

Recommended Posts

It's funny how many other styles of music were influenced by disco. Beethoven's 9th was recorded with a dance beat, references to Mozart were made elsewhere, even Yes (when Anderson and Wakeman left) had a guy in the band that had some disco success.

Though it was probably fun for some, please tell me that era's over, OK?

:)

Or did Techno replace it later on?

Ooops.

Make that B's 5th. Nobody would screw with the glorious 9th or they'd have to face Alex and his little Droogies.

Well I tried the hustle with my girl at the prom, but I liked the earlier stuff better.

Bee Gees - New York Mining Disaster 1941 Lyrics

In the event of something happening to me,

there is something I would like you all to see.

It's just a photograph of someone that I knew.

Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?

Do you know what it's like on the outside?

Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones.

I keep straining my ears to hear a sound.

Maybe someone is digging underground,

or have they given up and all gone home to bed,

thinking those who once existed must be dead.

Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?

Do you know what it's like on the outside?

Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones.

In the event of something happening to me,

there is something I would like you all to see.

It's just a photograph of someone that I knew.

Hvae you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?

Do you know what it's like on the outside?

Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones.

Let's go old school Bee Gees.

Kinda weird that I'm an Aussie like the Bee Gees, but I live in Massachusetts................

Feel I'm goin' back to Massachusetts,

Something's telling me I must go home.

And the lights all went out in Massachusetts

The day I left her standing on her own.

Tried to hitch a ride to San Francisco,

Gotta do the things I wanna do.

And the lights all went out in Massachusetts

They brought me back to see my way with you.

Talk about the life in Massachusetts,

Speak about the people I have seen,

And the lights all went out in Massachusetts

And Massachusetts is one place I have seen.

I will remember Massachusetts...

Saturday Night Fever is simply a great album.

Once saw a huge bar fight in Brooklyn with what seemed like hundreds of Bud bottles going airborne while White Lines was playing.

And saw the Clash make the mistake of having DJ Mel E Mel open for them at The Pier on the West Side. "If you want to see the Clash , Say HHHHOOO!" Whereupon abot 8000 white drunks starting winging everything they could get their hands on toward the stage screaming "EFFF YOOOOUUUU!" and worse until they hit the lights and gave him the hook for his own safety.

Disco pretty much sucks, by the way.

Nights on Broadway is one of my favorite songs. I can listen to it over and over and over.

and I thought it was just me? :oops:

I love that song too.

As far as old Bee Gees, "Words" "To Love Somebody" and "I've just gotta get a message to you", would be in my favs.

One more, "I started a joke".

Was I there? Did a small rain cloud come rolling off the Hudson and dump about a thousand gallons on us in 15 minutes? Lucky for me I was in some bar while the MC was rappin'.

Mel E Mel was a great MC. I would have enjoyed that show.

Does anyone remember The Cult opening for Metallica at Jones Beach? I love The Cult, but the idiot Metallica fans were throwing crap at them and booed them off the stage after about 3 songs. I was pissed.

I saw YES at the old Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City about 20 years ago. The Poussett Dart Band opened for them and got abused. The final straw was when a full beer can crashed through one of the extra guitars sitting on a stand. The band packed up and took off. I actually felt sorry for them.

It's just such a powerful tune. From the opening note that is compressed and stretched; the verse, the chorus, that awesome bridge, the buildup back into the chorus-

Stop. Check please.

Incredible song.

Just be careful you don't wind up over the guard rail, I hear the current's nasty. Tell you what, with the Devils coming in that downtown area might be worth an investment. And WTF does that(?) have to do w/ Communipaw Ave?

Ah yes, Roosevelt Stadium. Played HS ball there amongst the chromium. Anyone been to the Stanley Theatre?

The Metrostars are getting their own stadium? MLS teams can afford to have their own stadiums? Wait, MLS is still in buisness?? :shock:

If we are talking disco we are talking ABBA.

Dancing Queen anyone?

You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life

See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen

Friday night and the lights are low

Looking out for the place to go

Where they play the right music, getting in the swing

You come in to look for a king

Anybody could be that guy

Night is young and the music
