	A history of disco music
		Disco is an up-tempo style of dance music that originated in the early 1970s, mainly from funk and soul music, popular originally with gay and fl audiences in large U.S. cities, and derives its name from the French word discothèque (meaning nightclub), coined from disc + bibliotèque (library) by La Discothèque in Rue Huchette.
		This music was coined disco, of which there are two flavors and time periods: disco 1.0, which is firmly connected to soul and funk in the first half of the seventies and disco 2.0 in the second half of the seventies, as the incarnation of gay hedonistic club culture.
		Disco had already been going for ten years when the first electronic drum tracks began to appear out of Chicago, and in that time it had already suffered the slings and arrows of merciless commercial exploitation, dilution and racial and sexual prejudice which culminated in the 'disco sucks' campaign.

	Disco Duck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"Disco Duck" was a satirical disco novelty song performed by Memphis disc jockey Rick Dees and His Cast of Idiots and released in 1976, where it became a number-one hit (and ranked as the ninety-ninth most popular song of the year according to Billboard Magazine).
		The Walt Disney Company asserts that Clarence Nash, the traditional voice of Donald Duck, did not voice-act as Disco Duck (according to the label, the duck vocals were arranged by Ken Pruett, who was a friend of Dees).
		'Disco Duck', written by Dees, was inspired by a 60s novelty dance song "The Duck", recorded by Jackie Lee in 1965.

	Disco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Initially, most disco songs catered to a nightclub/dancing audience only, rather than general audiences such as radio listeners, but there are many aspects proving opposite tendencies as well; popular radio-hits were being played in discothèques, as long as they had an easy to follow rhythmic bass-pattern close to 120 BPM (beats per minute).
		Disco fever reached a peak in South Asia after the release of the Bollywood film Disco Dancer in 1982.
		Disco music diverged from the rock of the 1960s, elevating music from the raw sound of 4-piece garage bands to refined music composed by producers who contracted local symphony and philharmonic orchestras and session musicians.

	Anseriformes
		These massive, flightless ducks appear to be the descendents of basal flying anseriforms and are closely allied to the anseranatids and anhimids (Australia's magpie geese and South America's screamers).
		Appearing to be a hasty "garage-kit" attempt by the Anseriformes to produce an fast antilopine herbivore, the disco duck combines the long legs of a runner with a duck's waddling gait and its nomenclatural link to the Minister of Silly Walks is no coincidence.
		The result is, appropriately enough, ludicrous, but a disco running at full speed is quite capable of outpacing a human or a spectacled gobbler, the species's primary predator.

	Urban Dictionary: disco (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The era of disco ended in 1979 when an event called Disco Demolition Night, which was held at the Chicago White Sox stadium, quickly became one of the worst sports disasters of the century when disgruntled rock fans wrecked the stadium while racing to get the disco records burned and blown up.
		Disco abruptly disappeared from public view and resurfaced in the 1980s in Chicago in the form of house music, which is still fairly popular today.
		Disco is a difficult form of competitive dancing mostly done in the UK and surrounding areas.

		This is why each and every time "disco party" is hollered, the generation past comes a running to the dance floor.

		It definitely isn't disco, and the assumption that just changing the drum track to a 4 on the floor beat would make it discoey, represented everything that was wrong with Disco by '79.
		It essentially was the industry's way of saying 'hey, this is all that disco is, one metronomic drum beat', and probably gave more ammunition to the people who hated disco.
		DISCO DUCK was the General Patton in the attack on DISCO, WHAT A FOOL BELIEVES was a lonely foot soldier.

	Ethel Merman Disco Album gullbuy review
		From Disco Duck to Meco's Star Wars and even to classical music - it was all put to a disco beat and what's more was quite popular.
		Sprinkled with magic disco dust thanks to Peter Matz - who incidentally had been nominated for two Tony Awards - and hey, look at this - Bud Shank and Ernie Watts played horns - so this what the great jazz musicians were up to when disco hit and there were bills to pay.
		This here is the first time this lost disco platter has been released on cd, and it's in our hands thanks to Varese Sarabande who also were able to dig out an unreleased track too, to add to the 7 original cuts.

		Most people associate the disco era with hedonism, homosexuality, a sense of community, tacky fashions, and awful music.
		Even as his glowing nighttime shots of the Empire State glamorized the class-ridden world of Metropolitan into a Manhattan wonderland, the disco era is cleaned up and rendered safe for Republicans in The Last Days of Disco.
		Given that much of the movie takes place in a disco's glittery, cavernous space, cinematographer John Thomas does a marvelous job in keeping the film's look bright and tweedy.

		Furthermore, disco music is generally uplifting and inspiring, providing a much-needed contrast to the dull and angry racket of many hard rock, heavy metal, alternative rock, techno, and rap songs.
		However, the majority of disco artists were solely studio singers, and when disco was made carelessly by producers and companies that were more interested in making money than making quality music, the results were mindless repetition, boring lyrics, and headache-inducing instrumentation.

		I was at the Warehouse Cafe in New Orleans when the song "Disco Duck" came on the jukebox, so I ran around singing "Disco Duck- What the Fuck!", underneath the freeway that was being built next to the cafe.
		With a metal rod I began banging the tune on the scaffolding, when I spied a giant (foot long) plastic clothes pin on the ground, so I stopped to pick it up and next to it was this greasy looking taxidermied duck.
		So, I picked up the duck with the clothes pin around its' neck and flew it around underneath the freeway, continuing my tirade.

		During a recent record hunt, this one fairly leapt out at me. I was looking at what was supposed to be a bunch of Soul records and this was, quite obviously, misfiled.
		I saw a record that mentions both "Disco" and "Clogging" and I had to investigate.
		It is instrumental on one side, which renders the song sort of useless, because it really doesn't sound much like Disco, but the vocal side is the one to hear.

		The criticism stings, since scores of disco sets have already appeared over the years, including a host of individual volumes issued by Rhino itself, beginning in 1990.
		Tellingly, disco never fell as far from favor overseas either, holding almost as steady a sway as it has in gay clubs around the world.
		As such upbeat sensibilities eat further into the American mainstream, the disco set could serve as a kind of musical role model, a primer on how a fresh generation can begin to make that funky music new again.

		Other movies that inspired Disco tunes were the Star Wars trilogy, which scored big hits for Meco, who also made a Disco version of the main theme from the Superman movie.
		But if Saturday Night Fever was the thing that really got the Disco ball rolling, it was really the labels and the clubs that had set the ground for it.
		So, what happened was that the Disco scene returned to the clubs where it once started and with the new technical equipment's like drum machines, synths and other things, the music transformed - from Disco - to Disco!
