by Walter Murphy and The Big Apple Band.

Is there enough cocaine in the world to make fusing Beethoven with disco seem like a good idea?

there's a mashup of this with some kanye song and it actually sounded pretty good back in '04, or whenever.

Welcome to the 70's. I'm don't think any disco was listenable unless you had an 8-ball, at a minimum.

On the plus side. Without disco (and to a lesser extent, prog), I'm not sure we'd ever have seen punk rock.

I always preferred a little Earth, Wind & Fire or maybe some Gap Band with my giant piles of coke.

It was a cool song, so was Joy by Apollo 100.
