Children in disco

Suddenly the unforeseeable happens : children's voice in a disco song or, if you want, disco-funk song :

1) "Erucu" by Jermaine Jackson, 1975 .

2) "Double Dutch Bus" by Frankie Smith, 1981 .

??? This track is instrumental.... at least, it is on all three copies of the Mahogany soundtrack that I have, which is where it originally came from.

But anyway, how about Freddy James?

Hey - don't forget Stacy Lattisaw. I believe she was only 11 when she made "Jump To The Beat".

And what about Candy Girl by New Edition. :-? and let's not forget the terrible childrens choir on Tina Turner's "We Don't Need Another Hero" - aarrrgh!

Another childrens choir was on Midnight Star's reggae influenced "Love Is Alive" (1982).

And don't forget that Evelyn "Champagne" King was only 16 years old when she scored with Shame

I remember we talked about this a over a year ago. The song, like Graham said, is an instrumental from the Mahogany soundtrack. If you're playing a Larry Levan mix, then the voices are an overlay from Grand Funk Railroad.

The sound of children is THE sound most guaranteed to turn me off a track! I'd even prefer the sound of Eminem or Oasis to children.

Thanks Grahan Start and NickNack, in fact it is not the original "Erucu", 1975, I almost did a disco-blunder :oops: :P .

Is 16 y.o. still childhood in your countries??

I recommend to check for voices in Europe:
BoneyM'81 - We killed the world.
more lately
BoneyM'84 - Happy song.
Paris France Transit'83 - Child.
Baby's gang'83-85 (children italo group)

Remember the old saying "children should be seen, not heard". This saying is indeed old, and should be updated as "children should not be seen, nor heard".

Jordy certainly proves that statement, yes?

Because every now and then, the world needs a reminder as to why children should not be heard in dance/pop tunes.

Actually, novelty records of almost any kind ("Short Dick Man", "Mambo #5", "I'm Too Sexy", "Disco Duck", ad nauseum) are generally dreadful. What infuriates me is how the masses seem to find these endlessly entertaining, whereas I tend to get really sick of them after the first 2000 plays.

Only a handful have really held up over time, like Cheech & Chong's "Earache My Eye (featuring Alice Bowie)", which was a highly entertaining spoof on 70s glam rock.

**markydefad** · January 16th, 2003, 02:27 PM

Uh, so like...are you saying I shouldn't groove to...

"Aaron's Party" by that rappin' dweeb brother of the Backstreet Boy??? :roll:

Say it ain't so!!!!!!! :lol: [/i]
