Perhaps
you should post a copy over on the THATCHER thread to cool their fevered brows.....
What? Join the socialist society?
When we could be having a disco?
Hmm
Word mag disco. Predominatly male, married and post skinny jeaned 40 somethings. I'm back off to the Thatcher thread......
i'm coming with you
i'd rather argue with the reds than watch david hepworth dance!
This may be jazz...
,,,,but it's in my disco.
You'll be sorry
There's cake later.
what sort of cake?
what sort of cake?
Next
Mmmm
Nice tone arm!
Bang! There goes my ankle.
Sit down and play these maraccas
I've still got my original hips
Even if I am flaunting the turntable rules.
i can see what you are trying to do...
but politics is much more fun. we are going to do blair next!!
Blair!!!!
That's me back in the disco. When's the cake coming?
Yes, we're doing Blair next.
We're doing him
You see I quite like Blair....
A tremendously moral man, driven to open up opportunities for all in this country & beyond largely hindered by the people he worked with...
you asking?
George McRae
He was a looker, wasn't he? I'm going to the bar. Can I get you anything?
Can I get you anything?
The barmaid.
Well, we are in a 70s mood.........
arrrrrrrrrgggggggggH
youtube full of politic as well
Your funeral
More girls for us.
not so sure - Mr James has got them all
Underneath that wig....
....it's George Mcrae!
Let's bounce the deck of the stage
Call me old fashioned
But there's something odd about that record.
doesn't quite work for recent records
so thought we'd have turn on, she's driven all the way from planet pop Miss
And here's one for the Laydeeeeeez
Be honest
You're doing that clapping thing, aren't you?
this is were we sit down
hang the dj
that will be
for jude then
double header from Mr Otis....
lets take it up alittle
takes a while to start freaky visuals
I think I may have to lie down...
...or go outside for some air.
Better than the original?
Cakes & panda pop being served at the hatch
Have a slurp and a slice for five minutes children.
I'm off to the chippy deosa anyone want owt?
shouldn't he be waiting out side to pick his kids up?
Something for the weird kids to dance to
Title aside, it's safe for work.
It's the one we have to play by disco bylaws
will have to go home rectify that but in the mean time
This usually works
Let's imagine that was projected on the wall. Meanwhile...
Girls Girls Girls
Spanky Wilson - Sunshine Of Your Love
The Flirtations - Nothing But A Heartache
The Supremes - Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart
"Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart"
When Chris Martin has written a song as good as that, *then* he can flounce off "Front Row".
is that fountain abbey?
off subject buit strange more vinyl please
There's a theory that..
"Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart" is the template tune for Northen Soul
Chris It's Tintern Abbey - but I don't get the Hammer Horror set dressing. Why??
Disco Yes. Friday No.
I'll have this one:
To think Pat Arnold
is now singing backing vocals for Roger Bloody Waters. How the mighty have fallen.
Quick - grab someone or run for the bar
Is it that time already?
I'm not pissed yet.
Check out these moves
You see that?
That's a backing group, that is.
Backing group
They sure know their stuff. I did some work for Sam a few years back. Top fella.
"Did some work"?
Decorating?
Decorating?
Er, no. But if he asked me I'd paint Detroit for that man.
Treble Top
Billy Preston - Outta Space
Billy Preston and Ray Charles - Agent Double O Soul
Tom Jones and Janis Joplin - Raise Your Hand
That captures the exact moment at which pop took a wrong turn
They're singing a song whose refrain goes "You've got to get up and raise your hand" surrounded by people who are sitting on the floor.
But wait until they get up
It goes from a “You Bump - I’ll Grind” duet to Hieronymus Bosch at the discotheque..
well it is a disco
Look out!
There's some rough boys on the dancefloor!
Yep - There go all the girls
that's my earzzz gone
.....
all in big circle arms behind your backs
Turn the bloody noise down!
Some of us are still at work. Male bloody married bloody post skinny jeaned bloody 40 year old young people........
And that old fella should know better, encouraging you all.
Dancing, pshaw........
Hey grandad
Let the kids have some fun, why don't you. Because they may not be the Young Ones very long.
This wouldn't happen in Alderman Roberts day!
Long haired hippies with their interweb tomfoolery. Got any Temperance 7?
get on the back foot let's see your arms in the air
Too much Old
Have some Euro-disco.

The White Knight Of Soul
Are you ready for an unholy cross of Jimmy Savile and James Brown?
Grab a square of the floor for some FUNK!
*This* is the way to start an album..
John the gigolo
Shouts over the music
'I hear the politics society have asked for the volume to be turned down'
Look, they're coming in doing the conga
And is it any wonder?
What are you wearing for the disco?
I’m taking a leaf out of the Major’s book and going for the cap/suit ensemble. The lasses love all that.
Is that Major Lance?
Didn't he used to live in Benfleet?
Don't Wanna Be No Partay Poopa (Part 1)
but none of these YouTube links are working for me.
Come back in ten minutes
Even with broadband, dozens of YouTube players on a single page will really slow down page-loading times. This is the web at its most inefficient.
Well it's certainly not this Major
well if it was a wedding disco, as soon as this comes on
all the men would do that 'i'm walking to *beat*' strut to the floor and get on down...(c) Peter Kay, ages ago...
Smug retort
as I remain, still at my desk, looking at you lot, revelling thru' your shallow lives, thru' my open window: Stevie Wonder, eh? Got tickets to see him in September!!
saw that - playing in the o2
us folks over on John Bulls Other Island aren't having the pleasure of a visit from young Steveland as presently, believe it or not, nous n'avons pas a decent mid-sized auditorium which could hold the kind of crowd he'd get. It's stadiums or pissy little barns...
anyhoo - who's that up at the DJ booth. Oh god...i think it's somebody trying to get some experimental jazz fusion played...
Me
Too
My lift's here
Same time next week?
Next week
I think it should forever be known as Funky Friday
Until then
Outstanding thread.
Congrats all. Fair took my mind off the Witch of Grantham, thank Christ.
Belch
mumbles

Hello, am I too late
Has everybody gone home?
Credit crunch tune:
Look at the state of the place after ya all...
... Who's gonna clean this mess up?
Hello! Hello!
Right, where's the broom....
[Mutters to himself] "kids to-day, unbelievable!"
(faint noise from toilets)
Oooooh Christ.... shouldn't have had those ones with the umbrellas....
Here, guys - what time is it?
Guys?
Guys?
...
Don't fancy yours much
Says it all really, now where's my satin bomber jacket?
