What's the cheesiest disco song in your opinion?

[drumwolf]

I'm sure the competition is stiff for that dubious honor, but as far as songs that I know, it's "Born to be Alive" by Patrick Hernandez.

[jswordy]

1. all of 'em

I like rap way better than disco, and disco was "in the day" for me...though all my white 40-something friends hate rap...despise it.

[MissMillie]

2. Disco Duck or (forgive me arwalden) Car Wash!

(I just felt like I had to beat arwalden to it.)

[arwalden]

20. Car Wash Is Not Cheesy! It's Fun! :-)

:hi:

How can anyone NOT tap their foot, or dance in their seat, or get up and boogie, or sing along whenever they hear it?

You might not ever get rich... but lemme tell ya it's better than diggin' a ditch!

[txaslftist]

3. There were no cheezy disco songs.

they were all classics.

[Miami Liberal]

4. I like cheesy disco

I'd say, "I love the nightlife" is beyond cheesy.

[Fridays Child]

5. Aren't Cheesy Discos made by Frito-Lay?

:silly:

[last_texas_dem]

10. "Ack-shawn"

Definitely cheesy, but I kinda like it...

[Miami Liberal]

11. Oh, like it too

:silly:

[DelawareValleyDem]

6. Ring my Bell

[fudge stripe cookays]

7. Anything by Silver Convention

or Tavares.

The rest of the stuff I dig.

8. "Disco Duck"

Though maybe it shouldn't be included since it's meant to be...

"I Will Survive" is definitely cheesy; I know a lot of people find it empowering, but I've just never been a fan.

I like most of KC and the Sunshine Band's big hits but "I'm Your Boogie Man" scores a little too high on the cheese meter for me.

FWIW, I actually like most disco. I know most of it isn't deep in any way, but that's a lot of what I like about it.

9. Macarthur Park

I never did understand about the cake in the rain

[Zuni]

12. ding ding ding...we have a weiner

MacArthur Park has to be at least the most bizarre disco song...I have no idea what the song is supposed to be about

[HughBeaumont]

15. It wasn't originally a disco song . ..

but a giant batch of slightly listenable, Shatneresque weirdness by Richard Harris (yes, THAT Richard "Dumbledore" Harris) and Jimmy Webb in 1968. The lyrics have some meaning to SOMEbody . . .

My answer would be "Dancin' Johnson" by Bill Saluga from the "You can call me Ray, or you can call me Jay" beer commercial fame.

[Zuni]

18. I have heard several versions of the song

and found it retarded. really retarded

[Blue_In_AK]

23. That's not a disco song

It was late '60s, I believe, long before disco.

[iconoclastNYC]

13. Y.M.C.A

I puke when i hear it.

[BiggJawn]

14. "Lady Bump"

I dunno, if she had a lotta back on her, maybe...

[Atlas Mugged]

16. Boogie Oogie Oogie

Or whatever the hell that abomination was called.

[Butterflies]

17. Boogie Fever

Boogie Fever . . . I got to boogie down (get on down, get on down)"

I can't remember who sang it.

[Miami Liberal]

19. How could I forget

"Shake your booty" by KC and the Sunshine band.

Shake shake shake
shake shake shake
shake yer boody
shake yer boody.

[6000eliot]

21. More, More, More

How do you like your love?

[Miami Liberal]

24. I love that song!

It makes me wanna dance everytime I hear it.

[6000eliot]

25. Very danceable

But a little creepy to me.

[terrya]

22. If you've ever heard Ethel Merman's disco album, then you'd know.

It is, without a doubt, the cheeiest thing ever put on vinyl. :-)

[LoZoccolo]

26. "Rebels Are We" by Chic

Coming out the year after disco died.

I like disco, and yet this is one of the worst songs I've heard.

[democracyindanger]

27. The disco version of Beethoven's Fifth

I think it had it's own name, like Fifth of Beethoven or something.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

29. That's one of my favorites!

A fifth of Beethoven.

I think the cheesiest one would be Disco Duck.

[NightTrain]

28. Anyone remember Joe Tex's attempt at disco?

It was called "Ain't Gonna Bump No More (With No Big Fat Woman)," and it was a depressing low point in the career of a great soul singer.
