Story behind the song
Copyright 2001-2003 (ASCAP) R. Burt OK, OK, so everyone has their own interpretation of what the rudiments (beginnings) of American Disco Music was. Well, I've lived it and did my homework as well. Here is my interpretation! Love it or leave it. This is the theme song of, '...Confessions of the Disco Diva'
Lyrics
WHEN DISCO DIED (An ode to the 80’s) ©2001-2004 (ASCAP) MUSIC-Oxygenial, WORDS –Raquela (Originally called BACK TO REALITY) 1. Sit back and listen to a little story how Disco, Changed an everlasting craze of dance that’s now called Techno The Latin junkies pumped a beat up in New York City We never got enough because Punk raped us in the eighties CHORUS So when Disco died I never thought I’d survive When Disco died MTV kept me alive When Disco died New wave and Pop saved my life – (2nd X – “Here we go!”) 2. So in the eighties Disco went deep in undercover Assuming other names we hope would never be discovered To this day, to my surprise, there are some who don’t know Of House or Club or Trance or Electronica or Techno. CHORUS BRIDGE (Spoken) From there to Michael Jackson Groups made marks, yet they were so wrong - Tears for Fears had it all goin’ New Order? Totally Vogue’n Cars – Bangles, the Di-vi-nyls Made funky songs, just like this song goes - Can’t see how disco exist? - Wanna know? Well, - Here’s your hit list… A-ha, Blondie, Siouxsie And The Banshees Annie Lennox, Prince and The Fix Devo, Go Go’s, Oingo-Boingo Duran-Duran, Boy George and Wham And Erasure, Cyndi Lauper And Depeche Mode, Frankie Goes to Hollywood Pet Shop, Wang Chung, Banah-narah-mah Thomp-son-Twins and - Madonna. (Madonna. Madonna!) 3. Then clubs were full of yuppie boys packed with affection, Just waiting for the girls to give them all a big – connection The synthesizer gave them sounds they never heard and Songs made no sense but it did not seem to matter to us then. CHORUS So when Disco died I never thought I’d survive When disco died MTV kept me alive When disco died New wave and Pop saved my life - yeah When Disco died, No, it just went in to hide, So did Disco die? So it could come back, revived Guess Discos’ pride, Guess Disco - Guess Disco - Guess Disco - - Disco never died! http://raquela.com
