Discollision!

Inspired by JC's disco diversion over at The Vinyl Villain yesterday, this is a You Tube recreation of a CD-R, compiled for my friend Kate in February 2006. Genuinely contains some of my favourite and most played songs.

1) Pop Muzik: M (1979)

2) Funky Town: Lipps Inc. (1979)

3) Relight My Fire: Dan Hartman ft. Loleatta Holloway (1978)

4) Stayin' Alive: Bee Gees (1977)

5) Love Hangover: Diana Ross (1976)

6) Moskow Diskow: Telex (1979)

7) Supernature: Cerrone (1977)

8) Everybody Dance: Chic (1978)

9) I'm A Man (Cover of The Spencer Davis Group): Macho (1978)

10) More More More: Andrea True Connection (1976)

11) Heart Of Glass: Blondie (1978)

12) Disco Inferno: Trammps (1976)

I should note that Loleatta Holloway was uncredited for her (epic) vocal performance on Relight For Fire. Similarly, Lene Lovich wasn't credited for writing the lyrics for Cerrone's Supernature but did her own version in 1987 for the Animal Liberation compilation.
