Back in the 90s?! Don’t think I discoed past the 80s.
For some reason all I could think about was Steppenwolf. Born to be … just evokes one song for me.Partner knew this one though. He’s better on pop than I am.
Yes, disco was a bit of an underground thing in the 90’s, then had a mainstream resurgence. But a lot of the grunge bands were hearkening back to the 70s – for example there was a showcase in Seattle (I think) where they all covered Heart songs (and both ladies from Heart were there), so disco was kind of a sideline to that. I’ve always loved to dance, so discovering disco night was an awesome thing. The Commodore is mainly a live venue, but they did a great disco night back in the day 🙂
Oh well. My disco days were 70s anyway!
Yes, the original era – I was a bit younger then, but I still loved to dance, especially when Top Of The Pops was on. Perhaps that’s where my love of disco comes from… 😀
Top of the Pops, or Totp2? We were so busy bopping around one Sat eve to TOTP2 that we totally failed to hear one of our dogs alerting us to a burglar! Luckily said dog put potential burglar off. Phew. We then went and adopted a GSD to add to the pack.
Oh my goodness! It was original TOTP, back in the seventies – though I never had anything dramatic like that happen 😀
I loved this post! What’s funny is that I was listening to Motown while reading it.
Oh, that’s pretty cool – I love when stuff like that happens 🙂 Love a bit of Motown too – classic beats…
