Eurodisco Alert!
I lived in Germany and Denmark for several years where against my better musical judgement, I developed a bizarre affection for cheesy, crappy, novelty disco tunage. Here's a few samples of what I'm talking about:
Here's a clip of Danish disco sensation and Doug Henning impersonator, Tommy Seebach, performing the Shadows' instrumental classic, Apache, and cavorting in a field with a bevy of scantily-clad faux Indian maidens.
Dschinghis Khan was a German group with an inexplicable fetish for satin Russian Cossack outfits and disco kickdancing.
Gunther and The Sunshine Girls prove that mullets aren't just for rednecks in the chock-full-'o-softcore-pr0n, Ding Dong Song (You Touch My Tra-La-La). Not safe for work, obviously.
Finally, dance producer Vitalic appears poised to become the Wagner of Eurodisco thanks to his megahit, My Friend Dario, a lavish production filled with metalhead air guitar, rotating engine blocks, and frugging supermodels wearing silver go-go boots and football helmets.
And with that, I bid you all adieu and head to Los Angeles until next Sunday.
Many Eurodisco-y thanks to Beware of the Blog
