    Lyrics quiz : The early years

    *****

    What we gonna do right here is go back .... way back * ...
    back when disco was young and fun and so carefree .... :)


    Can you ID the songs from which the following lines are taken :

    1) ....Because everytime you open your mouth all I hear is sweet talk ....

    2) I'm so itchin' to dance I can't stand it

    3) I don't have no bills to pay
    -- I work hard each and every day


    4) ....Don't cha give up walkin' 'cause you gave up shoes

    5) You know that I ... I'm really put together
    yes I am ..... But girl , I ain't gonna last forever


    6) Girl you give me so much sweetness
    -- Oh, you give my life completeness

    7) I can't! I am exhausted from all this !

    8) Walk right up , I'll be your witness
    -- Don't say nothin' , just raise your hands ...


    :-? :-? :-? ???? :D

    Not bad ! :)

    1) ....Because everytime you open your mouth all I hear is sweet talk ....
    is indeed from
    " SUGAR PIE GUY " The Joneses ----and is this the funniest delivery of a song line in all the land of disco or what ?? :lol: :lol: :lol:

    2) I'm so itchin' to dance I can't stand it
    " LADY BUMP" Penny McLean --- funniest line with an accent :D

    3) I don't have no bills to pay
    -- I work hard each and every day

    "FREEMAN" Southshore Commission --- huskiest female disco voice save Divine ...

    6) Girl you give me so much sweetness
    -- Oh, you give my life completeness

    "FOREVER CAME TODAY" Jackson Five --- terrific lyrics masterfully delivered by Michael

    7) I can't! I am exhausted from all this !
    "GET DANCIN' " Disco Tex & the Sexolettes featuring good friends Kenny Nolan & Bob Crewe --- without a doubt the most flamboyant and carefree disco song ever made .... many funny lines during his machine gun rap ..... like Marky mentioned ....
    "My chiffon is wet ....my wig is wet ..."
    "I'm turning myself on " (deep voice answers "Oh ya" )
    "This is your life , this is your LIFE ! "
    :D


    *** Three to go *** ......???? ...... :-?

    4) ....Don't cha give up walkin' 'cause you gave up shoes --- ( oddest disco song line ever ??)

    5) You know that I ... I'm really put together
    yes I am ..... But girl , I ain't gonna last forever
    --- ( best disco pick up line ? )

    8) Walk right up , I'll be your witness
    -- Don't say nothin' , just raise your hands ...
    --- ( rock 'n roll to disco conversions ?)
