Space-Themed Disco Tunes

[discophil]

'Nuther birthday party! This time with a space theme. So far I've got Meco's contributions ("Star Wars", "Close Encounters", "Empire Strikes Back", "Star Trek Medley") and Deodato's "2001", but am looking for some other titles. Whatcha' got out there, folks? What some spacey-themed disco thumpers?!

[drlove]

Have a grand b'day celebration !!! My suggested tunes to add to your playlist are:

"Spacer" by Sheila & B. Devotion
"Cosmic Wind" by Mike Theodore Orchestra
"Outa-Space" by Billy Preston
"Moon-Boots" by O.R.S.
and
the Disco version of "Aquarius" (with all its interplanetary lyrics) found on that 1979/80 LP of disco-tized cuts from "Hair"

Is there anything from the 80s that would fit the theme?

Even though this is not disco Donovan's "Intergalactic Laxative" is quite funny. It's about how astronauts go to the bathroom in outer space. Here's a link at you tube:

[KBallenger53]

Did anybody mention "Space Age" by the Jimmy Castor Bunch? That was a nice smooth cut!!!

'NUFF SAID

[discophil]

Thanks for the support everyone! I created my CD, had our party, and it was a big hit!

[Disco Funk]

I was browsing through the youtube stuff for Yellow Magic Orchestra (I learned that Computer Game(s) was actually titled Firecracker, and that helped me uncover more versions of it).

Anyway, I never really listened to YMO, but I thought this cool track fell into this thread's theme (the name is 'Cosmic Surfin'). The group is from Japan. Awesome stuff! It's from '79.

YMO - Cosmic Surfin Live '79

Okay, that first video can't be imbedded, so I'm posting the link. Here's another version which looks like it was done in the 80s (the hair and make-up give it away). It's a bit faster. I like the other version better.

I came across this thread while searching for a disco song that would have been around in early (spring) '77 I think, repetive lyrics were, 'You're in the Space Age', or "were in the space age" ... Nick Straker, Space Age isn't the song I was looking for, & I don't see anything else mentioned here that would be close.... male vocalist, Gino Vannalish sounding.

I had this on a Disco Compliation 8 track years ago, but the exact title & artist eludes me.

You need to start a new thread in the "ask to id song" section instead of a long dormant thread. Thanks.
