Disco is one of my favorite genres of music EVER.  For the most part I love more sophisticated fare (like “Boogie Wonderland”!) but way back in 1975 I fell hard for the sugary pop sweetness of “Get Dancin’” as performed by the ultra-camp and feathery Sir Monti Rock and his Sex-O-Lettes. Co-written by Bob Crewe (Lady Marmalade, “Big Girls Don’t Cry” and just about everything the Four Seasons sang) this song actually had a great melody and background vocals and exemplified the happy state of mental funktitude that Disco made your brain drip with.

  “Happy state of mental funkitude”… EXACTLY!!!

  Used to love this song – I still do! SO great to hear it again.. And think about the fabulous Monti Rock… and Bob Crewe – who wrote and/or produced so many songs that I love. Thanks Allee!

  Would be great if you could post your essential Disco favorites playlist!
