D Is For Disco

When it comes to song titles involving disco many people seem drawn to alliteration. Here are six samples of such songs to show you.

"Disco Disco" is really repetition not alliteration (or possibly both?) but I did not dare deprive you of the groovy Peruvians (assonance) and their Stars on 45 style tribute to the hits that filled discotheque dancefloors from Cusco to Chiclayo back in the day.   

"Disco Daddy" - Lord Nelson

"Disco Dan" - The New Family

"Disco Dance" - The Tapes

"Disco Diva" - NGHTCRAWLRS

"Disco Donkey" - Gumshen

"Disco Disco" - Los Orientales De Paramonga

And then there are these three proverbial peas in a pod, the first of which was big in Peru if Los Orientales are a reliable source.

Went to see her and her band in Manchester last night and wanted to thank you for bringing her to my attention. Enjoyed the gig and will look out for her in the future. Charity Chic saw her in Glasgow tonight but

  3. Ooops....ended abruptly there but was about to ask if any of your Leeds based fanclub would be turning up at the Brudenell tomorrow to make up the hat trick!

    1. Glad to have been of service.

      I saw her on Wednesday in London so the hat trick has already been achieved. But 4 in a row would be good.
