[@Another_User_Name_]

Reminds me of going to the roller rink in 8th grade. This song would come on and we'd be flying out there. Good times!

[@strm854]

So right. Sat night at the rink . Great time to be alive

[@mr.roaddogwade7107]

Yea we were cool. 🕺🏻

[@christinewaide5249]

I’m still singing this song to this day. It’s such a fun song. Lol

[@stischer47]

To me what is amazing is that the dancers were from all over the world.

[@House0fHoot]

This is a crazy ass Euro song, but it takes me right back! 😄💃🏻🕺🏻

[@melissaford717]

This reminds me of being a kid in the 70s and putting on my roller skates. Good times.

[@Lovegun-w4s]

Corey...you were spot on. Disco was all about the beat and hitting the dance floor, this was exactly how the Disco clubs were 💯💯💯💯💯

[@geli-anton]

This french song was #3 best world record sell in 1979 with Madonna as her dancer. Vive le disco et vive la France

[@alanchristie368]

Julie Brown from the UK was an MTV VJ in the late 80s. She went by the name 'Downtown' Julie Brown.

[@3912James]

[@tsonofjohnson489]

[@jtrace-444]

[@richardfedczuk5760]

Those were the days. Keeping fit at the disco, the roller disco, disco nights at the ice rink, northern soul dancing and pogoing to punk rock. Kids these days missed out on some fon times.

[@brooksboyd1959]

The disco scene was something to behold.

[@whatadollslife]

I was in the US Army in Germany when this song was out .......the club was packed

[@Realmasterorder]

One of the Most EPIC amazing Tunes,Back when EVERYONE was enjoying themselves and doing their own thing.

[@SirWrecksy]

Holy crap. Waiting for someone to react to this. Yeah this dancing is off the charts North Cypress wins easy

[@maggiedub]

Fun fact: Madonna was a backup dancer for Patrick Hernandez early on in her career.

[@UnexpectedTurnOfEvents]

OMG Had forgotten about this song! Reminds me of the first time I went to a disco at 12. Being that young, I was rather freaked out and turned off by the older boys and men trying to talk to me, touch my hair or worse, but I loved dancing, and I became a "discoteca" girl until I got married at 21. Went every Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon during the school year, and was the first one on the dance floor and the last to leave it... Only took breaks to drink mineral water. People often asked me what I was on, but my energy was 100% fueled by water and my love for dancing. I could dance non-stop for hours, be it disco or new wave, break dance etc later on. 😊 This song was definitely one of my favs back then! 😊

[@Brandi6666]

This is my guilty pleasure song🤭🤭🤭 i hide it in my playlists on random, so as to surprise me🤭🤭🤭

[@Danandrea919]

This was SO much fun!!! Thsnk you!!!

[@ItsTimeToSaveAmerica]

This song was amazing and it still makes you want to get up and dance. When i was a teenager they played it at the roller rink in town. (just gave away my age😂) And as always, great review guys! 😊 🙌

[@sjddds]

I was 20 years old when this song was new. My wife liked disco, I was a rock guy. But we are in our 60’s now.We listen but my wife’s crazy dancing days are over

[@BattleMatt]

I hated this song when it was in the charts, now it brings back nostalgic memories.

[@staceypeters1585]

I would listen to this David Bowie, Young American and then Led Zeppelin, Black Dog all on the same mixed tape.😃😄😆🤣

[@paulauvray1962]

he make only one song and today is a multi millionnaire 🤑🤑🤑

[@NetTubeUser]

I've learned that Patrick Hernandez is a French singer. While Hernandez was touring the United States, he was accompanied by Vanloo and his friend Jean-Claude Pellerin. Vanloo and Pellerin held auditions in New York that spring for dancers to accompany Hernandez on his worldwide tour. The chosen dancers included a young Madonna. Its success was immediate, and in January 1979, the United States had caught on, and after some remixing, the record was signed to the A-Tom-Mik label and later Columbia Records. The remixed version was released on a commercial 12" single; it peaked on the US Billboard disco chart at #1 and crossed over to the Billboard Hot 100 peaking at #16. It sold over one million copies in the US (back then, there was no internet!). The track reached #10 on the UK Singles Chart. Hernandez received his first gold record from Italy. The song spread throughout Europe, where it hit #1 in France in April and remained there until July. By year's end, Hernandez had racked up 52 gold and platinum records from more than 50 countries. That's crazy! Believe it or not but Patrick was in a HUGE Arena in Italia last year! It's incredible! This is AMAZING! Here is the video for you, enjoy! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJKmeaqJq6enfZI

[@chucku00]

Patrick Hernandez is still getting between $300K to $600K per year in royalties for this song.

[@module79l28]

In 1980 there was a Rock program in one of the portuguese national radio stations that had the idea of creating an Anti-Top 10, where people voted for their most hated song of the time. This song entered straight to number 1 and stayed there during the three months the top lasted. 😆 Fun Fact: KISS's "I Was Made For Loving You" was also in that top but the highest it went was 9th. 🙂

[@johnderrick2501]

Disco is ACE !

[@mr.roaddogwade7107]

Of course it’s funny. I was a teenager in the late 70s. It was a fun time. But the clothes. Lmao… Epic.. 🕺🏻🕺🏻

[@maureenwagg5305]

I think the Soul Train line dance was better.

[@simaixan85]

So, as one can see, afro americans didn't invent smurf dance.

[@pennymcneela7095]
