Meco ~ 'Star Wars' Theme/Cantina Band 1977 Disco Purrfection Version

[@SuperNintendoEntertainers]

Leia, that’s no moon. That’s a disco ball.

[@brentod1679]

LOLLL

[@DJDiscoCat]

I shared that with Twitter kiddo, that is priceless!

[@fearlessjoebanzai]

Laser Disco Moon - It's the Auralnauts parody of Star Wars, well worth watching.

[@clxmasisland6724]

No, just simply had to be on a roller rink.

[@stainlesssteelfox1]

The power to destroy a planet is is insignificant next to the power of the Funk!

[@fob1xxl]

You had to have been alive back then to realize the impact DISCO and STAR WARS was at that time. Put them together and 💥💥💥💥💥 !

[@rsie9526]

Absolutely!!! You had to be there...to understand the full impact....

[@DJDiscoCat]

The music from "Star Wars" was immediately iconic. Even the single of John Williams score from "Star Wars" made it to #35 on the Hot100.

[@DJDiscoCat]

@@rsie9526 Look how long the force has been with us. I just binge watched the entire Star Wars and all that is left is the final one. I'm waiting until after I restart work to give me something to look forward to. I saw the original in the theatre in 1977.

[@rsie9526]

@@DJDiscoCat Me too!! I still remember when and where we went to see it. 1977 was quite a year!!

[@TangentChaos]

I am really fond of most of the Star wars music so I would love to hear more but this is excellent

[@c.c.hiliner1065]

My cousin and I, back in the summer of '77, drove my aunt and uncle crazy playing this 45 constantly on the house stereo! Thanks for working your magic on this record, DiscoCat, you brought back some great memories for me!

[@dcny69]

C.C. Hiliner hahahahaha there’s nothing better than kids playing things over and over and over again

[@AlfredWilson-tm9cs]

Puras obras maestras

[@jaymonster125]

Still have the vinyl of this!

[@tonyktown]

The summer of '77 this was a banger at the discos. It's hard for me to believe that 47 years ago, this 67 year old body was once owned by a 20 year old man.

[@POPMUSICFREAK500]

Great job! I remember being caught up in the Star Wars frenzy, as an 8 year old in NYC. I also remember it leaping from #8 to #1 the week of October 1, 1977 in Billboard. I was happy for 2 weeks, until that darn Debby Boone song took over the radio......

[@DJDiscoCat]

"You Light Up My Life" is an excellent performance. Debby was never able to replicate it, EVER and nothing else she did had the same vibe. A remade version of that song was on Stingray music and it was horrible. I even emailed them and the next thing I knew, it was replaced by the original version she did. Its a schlocky song but her vocal saved it.

[@jacquelineiona1996]

Hahaha....that Debby Boone song UGH!!!! TOO SAPPY FOR ME ..I PREFERRED DISCO!!!! Happiest music ever ❤️

[@catherinewylie6959]

I remember having one of those little red AM radios that screwed on to the handle bars of my ten-speed and I would ride like the wind to this around my neighborhood of the Huntington in Pacific Palisades. Perfect weather and better days....Thank you! I had a hard time finding this version.

[@woofman00701]

May 25 1977 New York CIty 44 st and Broadway manhattan Lowes Astor Plaza . There was excitement in the air .The movie theater envelop in one giant cloud of marijuana smoke that transported everyone to a galaxy far far away. Nobody knew what to expect of this Movie called Star Wars. Then the theater light dim everything became quiet and the opening monologue started to roll everyone was like what is this . No one never seen anything like this before. At the end of the movie everybody was standing up cheering . At that moment you knew you just taken part of cinema history in the making. It felt magical. My other Star Wars story is I work in a deli on Madison Ave one block from the Central Park Zoo . Actress Carrie Fisher use to come in all the time for a Hawaiian Punch tropical drink . She was one of the sweetest celebrities I ever met . She once asked me what is my name with a big Hollywood smile . Very down to earth person . Lots of people tell me that I am lucky to have met her . And of course as a teenager I used to get in the best Disco in town and dance the night away to this disco hit .

[@keithhards511]

The Stars On 45 keep on turning in your mind. Like "We Can Work It Out" Remember "Twist and Shout" You still don't "Tell Me Why" and "No Reply" 1, 2, 3, 4.

[@paulohomci6398]

MARAVILHA!

[@marcjacobs5988]

When I was dee-jaying, back in the days, I played this as an opener so often. Great memories. Thanks!

[@samireland54]

thank you we are the cantina band if you have any request shout them out. “Play that same song” okay same song here we go!

[@mrfloxin]

DJDiscoCat2: You did a really good job on the Star Wars song! I am feeling like I am watching the movie while listening to the song for sure.

[@DJDiscoCat]

Thanks, I tried to follow the sequence of the movie...it worked out pretty well, didn't it?

[@mrfloxin]

@@DJDiscoCat Yes it did . Good job as always.

[@asteriosmples7079]

Thanx a zillion for quenching my thirst,our thirst for music info and bios.✌️❣️stay safe ✌️(Eλλάδα).

Wow! My father bought this for me as a 10 Year old. What memories indeed! Thx for this!

[@marilynmarquiss9335]

I remember this I was a freshman in high school seen the movie to

[@woodytheman2497]

Hey Folks,did you know the guy playing the xylophone solo was the guy from the Lawrence welk show.see he was cooler than we thought.

[@juliocintron8777]

It was played so much you had to admit it’s was catchy

[@stevebarrett2288]

Yo yo yo remember this in 1977 at the kids disco in shepherd's Bush LONDON thinking we're of to space go go Djcat

[@lifeindarknessyt7573]

Star Wars will never be forgotten. Especially back then. Anyway, every time I hear this version I think the nice big block party.

[@stephenchase2537]

I heard the remix on CDs, vinyl records, and KZbin videos since the 1990s!!!!!!!!!!!

[@christopherjudge1138]

WLVI-TV 56 used this song for their promos in the late '70s! The Cantina Band part was used for the "Community Calander" and "Kiddie Calendar" bits @ 3:39!

[@3485martin]

WoW I never thought I would hear this song again a true classic BEAUTIFUL Job .

[@tremayne3]

Plop ! ! ! Condorito.....This has to be one of the greatest musical arrangements ever. Absolutely great !!!

[@anthonyarguien7785]

STAR WARS + DISCO = CLASSIC 45 RPM!

[@josephscovitch2701]

This 8 min version is excellent, frills and extras on all things Star Wars. We knew that Star wars had arrived when it was played on tv on Soul Train. Excelle

[@artkincell]

Meco Menardo! Great stuff.

[@adnelson9763]

All this needs is a bit more R2! Seriously, its pure gold.

I love how you are able to pull out the small things and bring them to the front, like the string arrangement around the 2:00 mark.

[@georgerivera8834]

Man I love dancing to this song back in the days

[@demongo2007]

I remember the near continuous radio play this got for awhile in the summer of ‘77…I don’t think people can appreciate the Star Wars craziness that happened that summer: it’s all anybody was talking about, TV, magazines, interviews…hasn’t really been anything like it since then.

[@susanduva1088]

God does this bring back memories. This was played on holloween night at WPCP a gay disco in San Diego back in 1981. Glad I was around to live that era. Thanks for the upload.

[@craigmclean8260]

Great job on this one! Brings to mind when a Seattle radio station, "Star 101.5", did a "retro-disco night" every Saturday, called (naturally) "Saturday Night Fever" (ca. 1995)!

[@notmebutyou8350]

This is awesome! Cat, your mixes are the cat's meow!!😃😃

[@RunTFC]

May I recommend the Theme From S.W.A.T/Rhythm Heritage...the rhythm of this Star Wars theme reminds me of S.W.A.T albeit a faster version. Also that break...oh that break. You could do wonders with that.

[@TheBeagle58]

Oh yea!!!

[@Prof_Jeff]

Wow! I had that on 45. I used it as the soundtrack to a project in junior high music class. One of my favorite T.V. themes to this day. I don't encounter too many people who remember it. 👍🤘😎

[@RunTFC]

@@Prof_Jeff I also have the 45, seriously. Well still have it, sounds like you might not have yours but I believe you.

[@randallredman4868]

This deserves to be streaming Forever. From what i heard with Universal Broadband breaking here in Wisconsin - I Pray that the Music of the Past, Present and Future Rock and Rolls On. Don't worry about The Beatles, Beach Boys, Elvis, Whitney, Kenny, Alanama. As they get more Space, you'll here this continuously. Probably not even repeated over a Week's Time

[@randallredman4868]

Ryan Seacrest and this era of Mixers and such will keep it going. As Casey said, Keep Reaching for the Stars and stay tuned to the Future.

[@FrankConquestJr]

I remember watching the American Music Awards show back in 1977, and this song was nominated for Song of the Year. I was upset and yelling at the tv when it wasn't nominated. Any soundtrack with a disco beat is good in my book. I had the K-tel album "Star Power " where I would robot out to this song.

[@AmyLSacks]

This was on the air about every ten minutes that year. I think I appreciate it a little more now that there's been some absence. :D Have you done Meco's version of *Close Encounters* , too?
