Whoa, completely forgot that the incidentals were by David Shire, who did that great score for the Conversation for his father-in-law.

Voting for Yvonne.

Jive Talkin (even tho it wasn't cut specifically for this record)

― Shakey Mo Collier, Friday, 24 August 2007 21:24 (5 years ago) Permalink

On one of those "Misheard lyrics" desk calendar things that my brother buys me for Christmas every year, someone reputedly heard "You can try to understand/ New York has the baseball games," which has made listening to that tune weirdly more charming for me (it goes in place of the "measure of a man" line).

Still, went with Night Fever, because that's the mood I'm in.

"If I Can't Have You," with "How Deep Is Your Love" (Bee Gees) a close second.

"Night Fever." But listen to "Open Sesame" again when you get a chance. A forgotten disco inferno.

― Kevin John Bozelka, Saturday, 25 August 2007 13:25 (5 years ago) Permalink

very tough to pick one, but I'll go with "Night Fever," if only for the breathtaking middle eight "here ah am, waitin' for this Mo-menn to lie-ie-ie"…

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I just remembered, isn't "Jive Talkin" on this is a live version? If so, that would probably change my answer.

Not that it's not a good version.

Love that record beginning to end. Even the David Shire instro stuff and classical ripoffs fulfills its purpose. (And that's the beauty of double albums - what would Tago Mago and Electric Ladyland and Zen Arcade be if their creators hadn't given themselves another full album to fuck around with after the obvious crowd-pleasing stuff is out of the way? They'd be single albums, obviously.) And how lucky are we that "Disco Duck" is mercifully nowhere in sight? (It was in the movie.)

My answer (and vote) mirrors Kevin's, right down to the shoutout for "Open Sesame", my favourite untouched-by-Barry Gibb track here. And no, Will, it's the plain old studio "Jive Talkin'".

Yvonne just bumping the Trammps just bumping everything else (except Disco Mtn). Hard call.

Where's "Disco Duck"?

― like an ant to a crumb (DavidM), Wednesday, 22 September 2010 12:53 (2 years ago) Permalink

According to Dees, his manager at the time made the unwise decision to cancel plans to include the song on the film's soundtrack because of fears that it would compete with sales of Dees's own album.

The single (and album) was also on RSO. I have his album, it's really not a competitor to SNF.

Changed my mind, I wouldnd'tve minded "Disco Duck" after all. Yeah, I had the single.
