The most overplayed disco record.

[originalbigm]

Now I'm putting a different twist on this question.What IYO is the most overplayed disco record that you still enjoy hearing.Would you categorize them as timeless in the disco genre? They certainly were tunes that captured the essence of disco.

My nominee would be Disco Inferno-The Trammps

Its disco credentials may be questionable to some, but I really don't need to hear Labelle's 'Lady Marmalade' again for the rest of my life.

"More, More, More" by the Andrea True Connection. It doesn't matter how many times I hear this song (and I've heard it countless times). I enjoy hearing it every single time. I'll never get sick of hearing this song. As to the song being timess in the disco genre, the answer is definitely yes.

Did I answer the question correctly? After all, I love the song I picked for this thread.

Yes Outsider that's exactly the kind of answer I was looking for

Voyage - "From East to West" and "Souvenirs"

In much of the New York gay club scene these were 'classics' the minute they hit the turntable. Stayed in DJ's crates for years. Always have, always will love this sound.

"I Will Survive" -- I so never need to hear this again. Not that it's a bad song, but man am I ever tired of it. Gloria Gaynor did much that was as good or better, but you'd never know these days.

"Disco Inferno" -- as above. That and it's just too damn long.

"Knock On Wood" -- used to love it, but now hear it every single week and the novelty has worn right out.

"I Love The Nightlife" -- sadder still because Alicia Bridges wasn't really a disco singer. The rest of the album is very different. And as yet another example of how people never listen to the words, everyone seems to think it's a song about being happy and going out.

All right guys --- TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT ORIGINALBIGM's QUESTION. He's asking what overplayed songs you still like hearing. This is not one of our friendly bitch sessions. :D

No fair - I reckon originalbigm edited it later on to look that way! :D
Only joking...

Well, as I don't listen to the radio any more, I'll nominate what colleagues seem to play all the time, by way of various compilations and mixes. I should scream everytime I hear these, but they're kind of in my blood from way back, so...

Loose Joints 'Is It All Over My Face'
Wood, Brass & Steel 'Funkanova'
Ripple 'The Beat Goes On And On'
Dinosaur L 'Go Bang'
Martin Circus 'Disco Circus'
Loleatta Holloway 'Love Sensation'
Candido 'Thousand Finger Man'

- you get the idea. These are the sorts of tunes that are inevitably on someone's edit block at any given time, somewhere on the planet (cue muted scream).
