I love Fridays!
. . . Can I just tell you how much fun making these little mix tapes for you is for me? I sure hope that this mix of danc-y tunes from this way-back-when-era will bring about some be-bopping for those of you sitting at a desk this morning. Something’s got to give you a little perk when your morning cup of caffeine wears off, right? It’s hard for me to imagine ANYONE listening all the way through, not having at least a LITTLE sway or shoulder shimmy. Me – I’m singing out loud, and it’s not pretty.
Since this decade of disco is very familiar for many of my readers (who lived through it) I’m sure you can imagine it was tough to choose my favorites. Wedding “anthems” like Celebration, Play that Funky Music White Boy, and YMCA of course come to mind, but after living for nearly 10 years across the street from the USNA Officer’s Club, where there were weddings EVERY Saturday, those songs make me want to beat my head on my desk are just a little too overplayed for me.
I have received SO many emails about these little music mixes – just for fun this week – leave a comment with YOUR favorite 70’s tune! If you have trouble thinking of one, close your eyes and think “all skate” – that HAS to bring back some memories!
LOL!! These are great, Heather. Hmm. How about couples skate to Xanadu? I think that’s 1980 though.
HA! I think you should try to be on “Don’t Forget the Lyrics.”
you guys are funny – of course Abba was on my list! Hmm – I don’t photograph weddings, but maybe the DJ thing is a way to be part of the action! HA! Now I have the Earth Wind and Fire song….”do you rememba…somethingsomething…Septemba” Love that one too!
How does one go about hiring DJ HPC for weddings or bar mitzvahs?
Ditto Dancing Queen. Also, how about a little Bennie and the Jets? Or a little bit of Hot Stuff?
Disco Inferno. Hands down – Disco Inferno!
OMG! LOVE these! But what about Dancing Queen?
