CanOfCorn Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 My employer has a big party for her birthday/company anniversay every year on April 1st. This year, she turns 50 and it falls on a Saturday. The theme is Studio 50. I edit a video using all of our work from the previous year and need some help in choosing a disco song to go with the theme. I know a lot of disco songs, but what I am looking for is something that is upbeat, that is known, but not widely known. Examples of what I am NOT looking for are "Stayin' Alive," actually, pretty much anything from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. Lookin' for something kind of like "A Fifth of Beethoven." Different, not necessarily Billboard Top 10 material, but something that, when you hear it, you would go, oh yeah, I know that song. As an aside, since I will have to hear this song quite a bit during editing, please pray that I don't stick a sharp object into my ears.

I have some of those. Feels So Good is too slow. The Hustle...well, I wouldn't listen to it with your ears. And Popcorn would probably drive people away, but that's a good one and I totally forgot about it. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 The Star Wars disco album is pretty wild if you can get your hands on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Kickass Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Rise is great. You might also like TSOP by MFSB. Also, maybe something by the Salsoul Orchestra? "You're just the right size" perhaps? Although that's dirty. Oooo, "Do It Anyway You Wanna" by the People's Choice or maybe some Tavares?

LosMediasBlancas Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 How about "Le Freak", it's that "AWWW, freak out" song. or "I will Survive" the gay anthem by Gloria Gaynor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
