    Identify Disco songs about Cocaine..

    This may be a tough one.. i'm working on a film project and I'm wondering if any of you could suggest disco songs that would work well in an 80s themed cocaine party scene. I'm hoping to find some that have lyrics that fit (even if they were not originally meant to).
    So are there any disco songs that elude to cocaine or directly mention it, or even the effects of it...lyrics like "temperature rising"... "heartbeat gettin' faster", etc

    Try ChiChi Favelas & The Black and White Band lp Rock Solid (Barclay label, produced by Alain Wisniak), it has a long, hard and thumping medley of Cocaine / Discocaine / Cocaine, based on the old rock track.
    On "Fashion Pack" Amanda Lear sings "rock stars sniffing" and adds a sniffing sound to the end of the phrase.

    El Coco's "Coco Kane" is the most obvious one to me.
    Gina X Performance's "Nice Mover" has the line "have a sniff" in the refrain.
    And you can hear long sniffing noises in "Cerrone's Paradise".

    "White Lines" by Grand Master Flash. 1984. Kind of a rap song and kind of disco. I've danced to it many times at clubs.

    The one that comes to mind that will fit in with your project is Azul Y Negro's "The Night". There is no direct reference to the word cocaine but the lyrics infer it.
    Lryic:
    Let's spend the night together
    Let's work the night together
    Let's go night clubbing right now now now (with heavy sniffing effects between each "now" indicating coke use.

    It's a high energy song about 132 beats per minute
    You got to bone it like you own it

    El Coco - Cocomotion
    all terms based on cocaine, and, best of all, a great disco track

    Tom Tom Club - Genius of love
    lyrics admit having cocaine
    If you buy this record your life, will be better.

    Thanks for all the great responses!

    I have a specific question about Sandy Marton's "White Storm in the Jungle" -- Does anyone know where the voice sample heard throughout the song is from, or where to find it? Or if the original source cannot be found, is there an acapella version of this song available somewhere?
    I've heard pieces of this sample used in numerous songs, but this song seams to use the most complete version.

    Here is roughly how it goes:
    "The Amazon rainforest stretches across almost two-thousand square miles of south eastern Columbia. From the air the forest looks inaccessible, unspoiled, and uninhabited… but Columbia’s Amazon basin has become a production center for the country’s biggest illegal export Cocaine. The tell-tale signs of the drugs industry are the airstrips which service some of the largest Cocaine processing plants in the world.”

    “Drug smuggling has been a way of life in some parts of Columbia for almost a decade… This raid yielded about six and a half thousand kilograms of processed Cocaine worth well over 1 billion dollars…”
