Saw a tween at the zoo today in a Hot in the Shade faux tour shirt today. Decided not to engage about my singles deep dive of that era.

If she was an actual KISS fan, she'd expect old men to be creepers.

Somehow that cover is worse than the original. Tip of the cap for the accomplishment, I guess.

Hello,

Songs like that (both versions) are why I really dislike/hate disco. Funk is great but disco is so synthetic and smoothed over.

There is a lot of great disco, but, like with any genre, a lot of garbage. Disco suffered from its success, where the genre sold so well that it got swamped by generic crap that gave all of it a bad name. As usual, blame the industry for throttling the neck of the music.

Hello,

I think this comes down to taste/likes/dislikes. I would challenge you to name a great disco song.

Hello,

Perhaps we're splitting hairs but to me this has a more R&B feel than a disco feel - great song part of the challenge completed.

No way, that's total disco. That beat and reliance on cheesy strings are core to the disco sound. Disco drew from r & b, funk, and soul, but slowed it down and employed garish cinematic orchestration to make it, I dunno, sexy?

R&B, funk and soul was already sexy.
