Do your time on the planet Just like in the movies It’s just the big show Have the time of your life But don’t be too choosy It’s not so serious Wear your sweet silver jacket Put on all your goodies Before it’s too late Do your time on the planet Just like in the movies It’s just the big show, baby
I can’t see no complication Never had a broken heart Don’t rely on superstition ‘Cause I know the part, uh-huh
Do your time on the planet Just like in the movies It’s just the big show Have the time of your life But don’t be too choosy It’s not so serious Wear your sweet silver jacket Put on all your goodies Before it’s too late Do your time on the planet Just like in the movies It’s just the big show, baby
I don’t need no first-class ticket When I’m in my dancing shoes When I’m out and getting with it I don’t have nothing to lose
Do your time on the planet Just like in the movies It’s just the big show Have the time of your life But don’t be too choosy It’s not so serious Wear your sweet silver jacket Put on all your goodies Before it’s too late Do your time on the planet Just like in the movies It’s just the big show, baby
I don’t care if it’s make-believe When the true heart’s drew its dream It make me reach out to believe Every moment feels so true
Sadly master producer and influential dance music creator Denis LePage known later in life as Nini Gobless has died. He recorded as Kat Mandu and Lime. Lime is disco mantra. You can download their second album for free from The Internet Archive – HERE
This is “Elements Of Vogue” (David DePino’s 1989 Original Mix) – Johnny Dynell feat. David Ian Xtravaganza as interpreted for broadcast by a school of vogeurs including Legendary London Legend, Roy and Britain’s early champion of the form, Les Child. (That’s her shutting down the category in a platinum hair hat.) Front and center and stealing thunder we see the lovely and sorely missed, Fidel Field. A fragile creature we knew too briefly. May she runway in peace. All this madness is circa 1990-ish. Don’t be jealous of their beauty, darling, be jealous of their talent!
Now, in the words of your Master of Ceremonies, David Ian Extravaganza, “I’ll now depart by saying, ‘I love you all for loving me.'”
This is mix number one. I started it five years ago. Yeah. Thanks and gratitude to Duke Todd who came over and ripped all these tracks from the vinyl. I guess everything is online these days, but you know what?…You have to know what to look for, darling. Uh huh. Odd unsung mixes that are better than the A sides. Duke’s got em all…
These vibes are Sound Factory Bar, Redzone, The Sound Factory, Derek at the door, Frankie or David in the booth and everybody else on the floor…like ON the floor. These are the tracks that somebody stole your coat to ( you’re still pretty sure it was a ‘ganza.) KIDDING. Calm down, kids. Hey!…NO TOUCHING. You will be chopped. These are the tracks that I danced to with Kevin Hertzog before I knew him.
I’m starting mix number two so hopefully that should be uploadable by 2025. ….it’s just that I care sooooo much about the music. I have to be SURE it’s right…but I am pressed up inside LOGIC and learning hard. It’s hard. I spent all day today in headphones….and very little else actually. OH!
Rx – Listen, but not too closely, two to three times a week. Not to exceed five listens per week. I case of over – listening administer coffee, cold showers or a strong slap to the face.
Thanks to DJ Gant Johnson for pointing this one out.. Disco lovers, get ready to chant. If you heart Hearthis then you might love my mixes there? Check em out here – beep beep
You must always continue to research, re-listen and reconsider your collection of lounge music. Edit it. If it’s rotten, toss it. Don’t stop the stream of collecting. If you gave up on vinyl then you just have to finger through the dusty stacks in another way – and with no dust so that’s good.
You may know of my penchant for The Brass Ring. I discovered them in Los Angeles which is typically my style because they were the East Coast answer to Herb Alpert in the golden age of instrumentals, the late 1960’s. In this group of talented studio musicians a guy named Phil Bodner plays Herb Alpert. The only switch being his saxophone replaces Herb’s trumpet and, well, very few people could ever be as cute and sexy as Herb Alpert so there’s that aspect too. I recently had to tell Alexa to shut down, turn off the TV and silence my phone when I noticed this track sneaking out of my imac in the corner of the room. This one deserves a clear high-volume referencing. The Album is “Love Theme From Flight of the Pheonix” and this is a Dunhill Records recording. You can find it on Spotify (click the album below to find it) and I suggest you make it a part of your permanent lounge music collection.
