Best Disco Music Video

[NickNack]

I remember seeing a video by Chic doing "Good Times". Everyone was dressed 'oh-so-chic' and the ladies were sitting in straight-backed chairs playing(?) the violin rushes of the songs. Looked so classy.

It's not much of a video, but the promo clip for Brass Construction's "Movin'" really goes with the song. It's just them playing live, synced to the studio track.

Biddu's "Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon" is particularly minimalist, just footage of Biddu speeding around in a boat. The print I saw was so damaged that there was barely any colour, and the wash of scratches made it look like it was raining ink.

"In The Navy" by the Village People is campy as one would expect, but very low-budget, probably done in a single afternoon.

I should take this opportunity to point out to the younger members of this forum that the notion of videos as we know them today did not arrive until MTV in 1980. Prior to this, there were only "promotional films" for songs. Since there was no outlet for these to the public, not a lot of money was spent making them, as they were usually only seen by industry types. Compare this to today, where a song doesn't exist if it's not on a music TV channel, and the budget for a single video will often exceed the cost of recording the entire album.

Dee D.Jackson's 'Automatic Lover' for that well-hung robot is a must ( :o ), Sheila B.'s 'Spacer' is a personal favourite with all that baco-foil darling, Bananarama's 'Venus' as its the campiest thing ever & I totally agree with whoever said Sylvester's 'You Make Me Feel'- when I saw this on Top of the Pops in '78 as an impressionable 13 year old it changed my life. :-? 8)

And where can I see these :D

Drifting further from the disco core, but as Steely Dan mentioned the Bananarama's Venus, have you seen the More than physical video of theirs. Even more flesh as the girls are rolling in bed/floor with nearly naked muscle studs!!!

Near that era I can name few videos too. Where is my man by Eartha Kitt was nice as well as More than physical by Olivia N-J and It's raining men by the weather girls and So many Men by Miquel B. Weren't muscles just everywhere in the eighties???

Rock it by Herbie Hancock has a video that is very interesting in visual and technical point of wiew.
