Hello Guys!

I was going through my cardboard box of vinyl and I couldn't help but pull out, "Dario, Can You Get Me Into Studio 54?" Campy, you bet, but what fun we had with that record in 1978!!!!!!! :lol: It got me to thinking if there were any other songs that mentioned 70's discoteques in their lyrics. Aside from Andrea True's, "New York You Keep Me Dancing" I couldn't think of any other songs with famous discos in their lyrics...Can you?
Take Care,

Dexter Wansel "I'll never forget (my favorite discotheque)" on PIR mentions a few 70's discos including Studio 54.
Also, I remember a Shep Pettibone mix of "Walkin on sunshine" that had the lines ' Funhouse parties in the sushine, Garage parties in the sunshine' but I think this may actually be cut in from a different track...any ideas what it was?

Peggy Santiglia ( prod by Billy Terrell who did Gary Criss) mentions Les Mouches, Flamingo, New York New York, Studio 54 ( "..fifty four, can you ask for more?" - you bet you can...), plus Regine's. "Palace Palace" By Who's Who repeats the name of the legendary Paris establisment. And what about Sylvester's "Take Me To Heaven" - could that be all about the London club whih is still there after all these decades?

Talking Heads "Love during Wartime" isn't a disco song, but it does mention the Mudd Club.

"Le Freak" of course was written about Studio 54's accidentally barring Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards from entering, despite the fact that they were Grace Jones' guests, so "The 54" is mentioned in that song.
