    (Rappin) Characters In Disco/Dance Music

    The thread for Willie Henderson's 'Dance Master' inspired me to start this one. Let's see how many tracks we can name that feature some kind of a 'character' who may be talking or chanting throughout a song. It isn't necessarily comedic, even though some might view the rapping as corny. I want to avoid artists who focus on doing satires like Rick Dees, Disco Tex and Bill Cosby, as well as the love rappers like Barry White. Here are examples of what I'm getting at

    Sarr Band - Mefisto







    Devils - X sorcist

    Disco Funk

    Before the Boogie Man, which was voiced by Jesse Boyce for Kool & The Gang, they had a couple of other characters



    Funky Granny



    (no doubt was inspired by Ohio Player's Granny on Funky Worm)

    and

    The Funky Man (I could only find the instrumental version on Youtube)



    Disco Funk

    One of my faves of this genre from the '70s is Boney M's "Ma Baker" (1977), which features a harsh "Ma Baker" barking out orders to robbery victims, as well as an authoritarian "FBI" voice saying that she's a wanted woman. The result for listeners is guilty disco pleasures !!!

    OMG help me out on this one, I really don't understand the emphasis on the 'character' part but someone tell me if these count please?
