[Irish_Dem]

8. Staying Alive by The Bee Gees should be the DU theme song for the next four years.

[debm55]

11. Believe me, I thought of that when I posted the OP . I agree. Wish I knew how to post from YouTube.

[Irish_Dem]

14. Maybe someone will post the song. It should be on this thread.

[AZJonnie]

77. I can help with that

1) Click the 'Share' button while at the Youtube video,
2) This brings up a 'Share' popup. In that popup, click the blue 'Copy' button. This copies its web address (aka URL) to your clipboard.
3) Open a DU post, and hit 'Paste'. The video URL will be seen into the message window as text.
4) Click the blue 'Post' button on DU. It will then appear as it does below when opened.

[debm55]

124. Thank you very much AZJonnie. I wrote the instructions down. Wish me luck.

10. I was in the Disco Sucks camp

Never had enough cocaine to get into the disco.

[debm55]

13. unweird. I went to one in college. Only one I went to. Didn't like it. But I did like Staying Alive.

I liked the songs. but didn;t know the steps to dance.

[unweird]

15. I tried too

Went to one in Atlanta. Definitely not my cup of tea. Just not a club kinda guy I guess.

[Keepthesoulalive]

69. Disco was originally Philly dance music

It was played in the local black clubs. When the suits got ahold of it they made it formulaic and we were discoed to death.

[debm55]

125. Thank you for that information , Keepthesoulalive. I didn't know that. I knew the end was coming when Disco Duck came

[rurallib]

17. 'I Will Survive' Gloria Gaynor

74. That's my favorite as well

[50 Shades Of Blue]

19. I'm with you! And here you go --

I still remember flipping over this song when I heard it in a trailer for Saturday Night Fever all those years ago.

I had been a big BeeGees fan in the '60's, and I was happy they got a second career out of disco!

[debm55]

21. Thank you very much 50 Shades Of Blue. That was wonderful of you to put this song on the thread. We will be staying

Alive.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

[debm55]

37. Thank you Mad_Dem_X I remember Sister Sledge. I also liked We Are Family

[Wiz Imp]

55. We Are Family - Theme song of the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates

[debm55]

121. How did you know that? I am a Pittsburgher. I remember that was their theme song when they won the World Series. Been to

Forbes Field. Three Rivers Stadium and the Heinz Field. Stargell, Clemente, Blass. seen them all. Thank you Wiz imp

[Wiz Imp]

123. Lifelong Pirates fan (I lived near Altoona at the time as a 14 year old)

Willie Stargell ("Pops&quot was my favorite athlete of all time. I have so many memories of that team and that season. It was before all the games were broadcast on television, so it was a rare treat to get to watch a game on TV, but I listened to every game on the radio, every night. It made such an impression on me, I could still recite specifics of a lot of games that season. Once they adopted "We Are Family" as their theme song (I read it happened during a rain delay on June 1, 1979), it just felt inevitable that the team would win it all. It was such an amazing season and I have such great memories including the comeback from down 3 games to 1 in the World Series.

Of course it's very sad that they haven't been back to the World Series since, but that 1979 Pirates season will always be very special to me.

56. 🪩 🎶 🪩 Sylvester - You Make Me Feel

Long before the Bee Gees, there was a disco scene and I went to clubs in the City (SF).
Clubs and venues included the actual YMCA in SF, Trucadero, smaller clubs like the End Up, Mind Shaft, and Bath Houses, too.
Sylvester was part of that relatively early scene.

Has a special spot for us.

120. Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood.

What a great choice! I love this song. I've always said that if a song is good, it's just as good in any kind of genre and any version.

[Upthevibe]

73. debm55.........

Good post!
I've mentioned it before but I REALLY don't care for Disco. Having said that, I'll go with
Sylvester:

...Cool story. When I was in my early 20's my best friend had moved from TX to CA with her fiancé. She got pregnant so they moved the wedding up. A couple of other friends and I went up there to be in the wedding. OMG what an AMAZING time we had. It was before I quit drinking.......

Anyway, one afternoon three of us were cruising around Sausalito. We ended up at an adorable pub in an absolutely gorgeous little town, Mill Valley. We walked in and there was a band on stage just jammin'. It was Sylvester! We ended up smoking some weed with him....He was SO cool.....I'll never forget that experience....

[debm55]

83. Wow what a great video. Thank you very much, Upthevibe. A lot of energy.

[Hassler]

76. "You Can Ring My Bell."

I was dating my now wife. She loved disco and having me ring her bell.

[Wiz Imp]

93. Diana Ross - I'm Coming Out

[Dorothy V]

94. Honestly ... I pretty much ignored Disco. I was listening to things like Beaker Street on KAAY 1090 Clear Channel AM,

where Clyde Clifford played album rock, acid rock, classical rock, and ditties like Legend of the USS [sic] Titanic for Middle America. Or I was carefully going through my parents' record collection - Bach, Cab Calloway, Tommy Dorsey, Hank Sr., South Pacific, West Side Story, The Worst of Homer and Jethro, etc.
Cheap Thrills Forever!

[debm55]

100. Thank you Dorothy V I appreciate your honesty.

[sarge1943]

111. Hot Stuff n/t

[debm55]

113. Very good , sarge 1943. Thank you very much.

[LogDog75]

122. I wasn't much of a fan of disco until

I saw the movie The Martian and most of the music was disco because the commander of the Hermes expedition loved disco. It was a bit of a running gag throughout the movie with astronaut Mark Watney commenting on her choice in music and then later moving to the beat of a disco song while he's driving the Mars rover. After watching the movie, I went to the local library and checked out a CD of disco music. I'll admit, I like disco music now.

[debm55]

128. Thank you very much for sharing that with us. LogDog75
