Favorite Instrumental Disco Song

[HairInTheWind]

Figured I would pose this question while mine is playing:

Spring Rain - Silvetti

There are others that are up there but I would have to say that's the one that does it for me....brings back some great memories and whenever I hear it...it still makes me go "ahhhh" =]

[drlove]

I'd have to weigh in with "My Sweet Summer Suite" (Love Unlimited Orchestra - '76) and "Trammps Disco Theme" (1975). Those are some faves.

[Skywalker]

"Black Water Gold" Prt.1&II- The Sunshine Band.

"Underwater" -Harry Tumann.

[kdavid13]

The Break by Kat Mandu.

Incidental music,driving NRGetic beats and tons of pots & pans.

Midnight powers - Dance, it's my life (instrumental) Importe/12 records

Dan Hartman - Vertigo / Relight my fire (suite)

Dan Hartman - Vertigo / Relight my fire (suite)

I know I'll be back here more than once, but one might be Block Party by Anthony White...utterly massive here in Canada and a masterpiece

[STEPHEN L FREEMAN]

Impossible to pick a "numero uno" from the bunch, since the music of Disco is why I love it so...

So, I'll run with the first one to come into my head:
"Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman" by Sounds of Inner City
1976 West End Records

Even though, in my heart I know it's really:
"Je T'aime Moi Non Plus"
by The Munich Machine (featuring Donna Summer)
1977 Casablanca Record & Filmworks

[tmob]

This one was a no-brainer for me...

(Theme from) Lady, Lady, Lady by the Boogie Man Orchestra (1975)

Soaring strings and a piano line that seems to stretch into infinity. Great in the original Boogie Man Records mix, even better in the extended RCA Canada promo mix.

[qdearl]

Like Stephen, I'll go with the 1st one to pop into my mind.....

Malaguena by Walter Murphy - action, intrigue, horns, strings! Love this song:icon_cool:
I never heard it too much when it initially came out, in fact that LP was hard for me to track down, which is a shame 'cause most of the songs on it were pretty good IMO.

[markydefad]

I'm going with "MAGIC BIRD OF FIRE" by The Salsoul Orchestra...such high -drama with the swooning strings & heralding horns...and still kinda funky with all the Latin percussion.

On the downlow tempo tip, I'll give Herb Alpert's"RISE" a shout-out. This epitomizes Sunday morning sleaze sessions at Trocadero... still dancing at 8:00 am on a Sunday morning in the steamy darkness of the club--when you could see flashes of bright Sunday morning sunlight through cracked-open exit doors...inside we were still dancing the night away in our own ceremonial "church," while outside in the sunlight, people were going to actual churches.
Ah, misty-colored memories.........:icon_exclaim:

oh Stephen...everything must change/ nothing stays the same...the young become the old.... and mysteries do unfold [what?????:icon_rolleyes:] well, the young become the old. I can prove that part. :icon_redface::icon_razz::icon_eek:

[thommy2458]

I have a gazillion but a memorable one for me will
always be The Glitter Band's "Makes You Blind"-
and if I could only capture one (of my most embarrasing)moments in time,it would be for
everyone here to see the bitchy look I got from the
sales guy at "Record Reaction" on Highland in Hollywood when I asked for this great new instrumental track called "French Fries"

...The Glitter Band's "Makes You Blind"
...to see the bitchy look I got from the sales guy at "Record Reaction" on Highland in Hollywood when I asked for this great new instrumental track called "French Fries"

(Because, over all the years, I'd heard every contorted title request you could imagine, I say...)

Thanks for the laugh, Thommy.:icon_lol:
If I were the salesguy, that would've been a priceless moment for me.

I know it's off-topic (so shoot me...), but can you fill-in the blanks?
(these are all for-real requests!)::icon_eek:

Bicycle Parts____________
Pompano Beach__________
My Feet Don't Touch The Ground_________
Everybody's Heavy________
and (I swear on my Mother's grave, someone requested this...)
The Suds Ain't Gonna Shine-Up The Floors_________________
(yuppers... there were some potent drugs in Fort Lauderdale, in the 80's)

[markydefad]

Bicycle Parts____________

I'll take a stab at this one. When I worked at Aloha, The Tauntress, a fellow employee, told a tale of someone asking for a tune they thought might be titled "Bicycle Pump"...so I'm guesin' we may be on the same trail here...

song wanted?










"MY SIMPLE HEART" by The Three Degrees

[markydefad]

Everybody's Heavy________

I'll guess "Hot Leather" by The Passengers..."let's get ready, everybody's heavy...gonna take a ride to the sun"

The Suds Ain't Gonna Shine-Up The Floors_________________

I might think some version of "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore"??? or is that too easy? :icon_rolleyes::icon_eek:

[STEPHEN L FREEMAN]

I'll take a stab at this one.

"MY SIMPLE HEART" by The Three Degrees

BRAVO!!!

The silliest part is that, in their head, they were singing all the other words and, somehow, "Bicycle Parts, will always love you" made sense as the chorus!!!

heeeere's your carbs...

You're 3 for 3!!!:icon_mrgreen:
Just 2 more... You KNOW you can do it!

[markydefad]

Aha!!! We think alike.

Now I gotta figure how these 2 could be mangled....hmmm...it's not coming to me ---yet.

Pompano Beach__________
My Feet Don't Touch The Ground_________

[STEPHEN L FREEMAN]

...it's not coming to me ---yet.

Don't think too hard. They're both that obvious.

[kdavid13]

My Feet Don't Touch The Ground_________

Huh Kelly Marie's Feels like I'm in love ???

[the disco kid]

My Feet Don't Touch The Ground_________

Huh Kelly Marie's Feels like I'm in love ???

we always called this one "It Feels Like I'm On Drugs":icon_biggrin:

[STEPHEN L FREEMAN]

You are correct, Sir!

One more, to go...

[STEPHEN L FREEMAN]

:icon_lol: Yuppers! Ditto that, here in South Florida.

Reminds me of our re-writing of Madonna's (you must be an) "Angel"...
You must be on Acid
You're so high
I can see it in your eyes

A friend once wondered why Hot Chocolate's You sexy thing started with...
