Just wondering if there were alot of disco tracks with talking intro's?
eg. Cerrone's Love in C minor
Cheers

Eva Eva Eva, an Italian trio, did their own Love In C Minor spoken intro in their "Tutto Previsto", complete with lewd remarks and throaty laughter.
Baccara's seminal Parlez-Vous Francais? opened with the girls bumping into each other in the street and starting to catch up on holiday romances.
Amanda Lear introduced her fab track Comics with a few words, too.

The telephone conversation(s) on the 1974 Donna Summer track The Hostage - not disco I guess, but spoken...

Jussi, did you forgot Dalida/Gigi in Paradisio :D

Are you talking about the slow bit at the start? It's still sung isn't it, not spoken?

I guess this is what K-Bee means by "rubato" singing. :-? with D-Train. Yes, technically, they are not talking but IMO they're not actually singing the song, either. I guess we can leave it up to 'the whistler' if they fit his category or not.

**born2disco** · June 3rd, 2004, 06:07 PM

Dammit, that's singing to me, not speaking!!

Geez, chill out, man, you win. :D I just pulled the 12" and listened. It's been 25 years and yes, you're right, she is singing. That is not what I was hearing in my head when I thought of the song.

K-Bee: I put D Train on and of course you're right, too. It's just done in such a 'tic-toc' style until the song kicks in I think of it as 'spoken'.

OK? Everyone happy now? Now think of some more goodies for 'whistler'. :)
