Play That Funky Music White Boy (followed by) Car Wash
I've made another cd-r for a friends housewarming party. She wanted something to dance to and so I traipsed all through my collection for disco. It's got all the great stuff on it like Shame and Mighty Real and... you must know that score by now.
Play That Funky Music really is one terrible, ugly song. It's not particularly funky (although it's got the requisite hard bass and drums) but the shouty chorus continually grates. Even back in the late 70s we didn't play it at parties for fear of seeming too out of the loop and it hasn't improved with age.
We didn't play Car Wash much either but at least we had a wry smile on our faces when it came on. And the foot tapped whilst hidden beneath the table or amongst the murky lounge room light of a late night party.
