We have Rod Stewart to thank for this song in more ways than one! Not only is it a parody of Stewart's "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?," but when it came out Stewart's manager tried to get him to sue Dahl and have it taken off the market the way Led Zeppelin did with Little Roger and the Goosebumps' "Gilligan's Island Stairway."

Not true at all. As the Producer of the song, I can totally tell you that Rod only wanted to be listed as a "Co-Writer" of the song, listed on the credits, and paid his royalties. He actually loved Steve's version. We granted that wish in a heart beat! It was never taken off the market, as all the legalities were finalized before the release.
I love Disco music, but I love this song too! It totally sums up the superficiality and artificiality of the Disco crowd! Actually if you really look at the storyline of Saturday Night Fever you'd notice that it really isn't a pro-disco movie, even though there IS a ton of disco music in it-the whole point of the movie is that Tony wants to get away from the dead-end cliched life he's been living and make something of himself. He loves to dance but he even states in the movie that dancing isn't something you can do all your life and he really wants to have something better to fall back on. That's one reason why he's not interested in Annette (his dancing partner in the beginning) because he doesn't see any decent future for himself with her-if he marries her he'll wind up stuck in another dead-end low paying job, probably at the same paint store where he currently works, working his ass off supporting his dead-end kids who are gonna wind up just like him, just as he would wind up like his own parents, in a dead-end life with no dreams, no hopes, no future and the dead-end cycle continues on and on and on......but he wants more than that. He wants to be able to move up in the world.
This is totally accurate. Although Saturday night fever has an upbeat disco-oriented soundtrack, it is a movie that depicts harsh realities like Midnight cowboy. However, it's not so much a criticism of disco per se.
@@G.L.999"too bad"? All these disco records, especially the old ones from the 70s are a million times better than today's rap crap that's poisoning USA and other countries
I listened to Steve Dahl during my childhood in the late 70s and the 80s. I was fortunate enough to see him and Garry play a show in Elgin, Illinois back in 1988 where Steve was hammered. They were the best in Chicago radio. I miss them every time I try to find someone to listen to on talk radio.
I’m 20 years old, studying music history. I’m currently writing a paper on Disco Demolition Night, featuring Steve Dahl and this song as soundtrack to the anti-disco movement of the late 70s. This era is so fucking rad and I wish rock fans were as hard core as they were in the 70s and 80s. Long live rock and roll 🤘🏻
As is typical for modern "journalists" the episode is now, apparently, an ugly example of white rage. White guys destroying black music enjoyed by gays and women that enjoyed dancing. If you were there, you probably have a different take.
Why don't Steve Dahl blow up a whole lot of them rap hip-hop CD'S because that is terrible quality off key singing sounding and the hip-hop artist don't know a guitar from a drum!!!
The way Steve Dahl felt about disco in the 1970s is how some people felt about country music and rap music crossing over onto the pop charts in the 1990s...

I met Steve Dahl when I was a kid and he worked for I believe WDUI radio. I watched him single handedly take out DISCO and start the " Disco Sucks " revolution for ROCK and ROLL going into. the 80's . He played a very important role in what we hear now ! This tune is still very funny , but Steve Dahl is one of my D.J. heroes. He is a Musical Tme Changer and should be acknowledged as such by EVERYONE!!!!

Steve Dahl was sick of disco songs hijacking the radio airwaves and leaving very little room for rock 'n roll in the late 1970s...it's the very reason he started an anti-disco bonfire at a baseball game and created anti-disco songs like this...
We need a new version to get the garbage music produced now out. A new demolition night of sorts. Get rid of all the tasteless, talentless, filthy, electronic robotic oversampled crap from the last 25 years.
If he wasn't fired from W4 in Detroit in 1978. Most likely "Disco Demolition Night" would have happened at Tiger Stadium and would have caused an even bigger uproar.
Of course, a lesson in old-school copyright law. Dahl almost got litigated for passing off the Stewart song as his own, but I know about Dahl's comedy in that cover song, so that song was a parody after all. Falls under Section 107 of the Act--it is fair use because it was a "parody" of an already copyrighted song.
This protest song was released as a single in 1979 on Dick Schory’s Ovation Records, the same label that brought you the “Magical Music of Walt Disney” 4-LP boxed set jammed pack with musical moments from Disney classics.
Weird Al owes his whole career to this guy!!! I bought this 45. cuz I hated Disco so much. By the way,,, I have a Led Zeppelin belt buckle! No apology!! 🤪🎸🎸🎸

💈Father Carlos, you need to send me the link to Cooking with Father Carlos, I may want to stop in and help or show you one of my favorites- from my Mother or Father ?
Well, (ha), why doesn't Steve do a song about Mike Novack and Darrell Chambless as the heads of Educational Media Foundation, a.k.a. "K-LOVE" for paying 21 Million for the Chicago 97.9 Signal, killing "The Loop" over Terrestrial Radio for 40 years. Maybe Steve is in his chushy chair at WLS, and his wife, Janet, has him finally calmed down !😁😁😁😁😁😁
I have no idea what or how that switch happened....but I do listen to K-LOVE all day every day. And K-LOVE Classic on my computer at night. Too bad they couldn't have found different signal to play it on in your area.
@@lll000l00o Yep. And then house (in particular electro-house) went on to dominate the airwaves starting around 2009 under the name "EDM," and it remains a top 40 staple to this day (along with a shorter period of mainstream dominance in the early 90s). And hip-hop itself is a spinout of disco. Virtually all early hip-hop came from sampling disco records, and there was a ton of cross-pollination between oldskool hip-hop and disco. The early proponents of the genre were split between viewing it as a continuation of disco, and as a reaction to the watering down of disco into bubblegum pop (i.e. paring it back to a "rawer" form of the oldskool pre-whitebread disco sound). Meanwhile rock is in terminal decline, and has only hung onto even the slightest shred of relevance for the last 20 years thanks to "indie rock," which often takes more inspiration from disco than rock itself (to the point that one of its most prominent subgenres - dance-punk - is considered a form of disco). It took a long time, but disco got its revenge and won in the end.
Yes. Trying to pin anti gay sentiment on Dahl is ludicrous. This literally describes a hetero encounter in a dance club. Try harder and listen to rock with your ears, not your feet and your ass.
I hated Disco with a PASSION.....SISSY MUSIC!!! That's why it DIED and ROCK came back with a vengeance!!! How did we ever go from ROCK to Disco??? Ewwwwuuuuu...... I think it was PUSHED by the PTB in the music industry to MAKE MONEY......NOTHING MORE!!!
when he had Jim Volkman on doing his Harry Caray impersonation, i never heard Steve laugh so hard when Jim V started saying his last name backwards, Dahl spelled backwards is LAID
We have Rod Stewart to thank for this song in more ways than one! Not only is it a parody of Stewart's "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?," but when it came out Stewart's manager tried to get him to sue Dahl and have it taken off the market the way Led Zeppelin did with Little Roger and the Goosebumps' "Gilligan's Island Stairway." Fortunately, Rod Stewart heard Dahl's record and loved it. He told his manager, "Leave it alone. I think it's hilarious!"
If only more posters had something interesting to say...
Thank you.
Actually Rod profited from this single. He had his name on the single as a writer, plus received royalties for the music. The single also sold 500,000 copies. I was the VP Marketing of Ovation at the time as well as the Co-Producer of the single.
Rod Stewart was in the process of being sued by Boby Womack and Jorge Ben Jo for using their music for his song when this one came out.
Not true at all. As the Producer of the song, I can totally tell you that Rod only wanted to be listed as a "Co-Writer" of the song, listed on the credits, and paid his royalties. He actually loved Steve's version. We granted that wish in a heart beat! It was never taken off the market, as all the legalities were finalized before the release.
I love disco but I still love this song lol. Never fails to make me smile, and it is pretty true
"Death before Disco" t-shirts. "STOP Disco" traffic signs. ('Disco' spray painted under the STOP.) Good fun.
For a guy who has professed his utter hatred of Disco throughout the years, Dahl has certainly profited quite a lot from Disco itself
And yet here you are along with the rest of us 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Fantastic parody of Rod Stewart's "Do You Think I'm Sexy"?-This received a great deal of airplay on Dr.Demento's radio program in 1979.
Partially because Dahl's station (WLUP) carried Dr. Demento.
This was released as a single and it became a protest song to stop playing disco music.

The epic lyrics
What's happening, baby
How the heck are you
My name is Tony
Would you care to dance
No, hey, calm down
Let me get you another Pina Colada
I mean what did we join this
Exclusive disco club for anyway
You know, I mean it costs
A hundred dollars to join
And we're supposed to dance
Don't you like my
White three piece suit
My gold coke spoon
Gold razor blade and
Gold Italian snaggletooth, you know
Come on, please dance with me
I wear tight pants
I always stuff a sock in
It always makes the ladies
Start to talking
My shirt is open
I never use the buttons
Though I look hip
I work for E. F. Hutton
Do you think I'm disco
Cause I spend so much time
Blow drying out my hair
Do you think I'm disco
Cause I know the dance steps
Learned em all at Fred Astaire
Look, I know
You don't wanna dance
Cause, like, there's
A lot of creeps in here
Always hitting up on you
Let me tell you something
I'm not a creep
I mean, look at the way
I am dressed, sweetheart
Look at my hair, it's perfect
I saw Saturday Night Fever
Eighty-seven times
Please dance with me
Some people call me scum
Cause I don't have
A realistic set of values
And you know what
I'm beginning to maybe
Think they're right
Hey, where are you going
Wait a second, listen
Let's skip the dancing
Come back here and let's
Just go to my place
Do I live on the beach, no
I live in my car
I have a 280z
No, wait, where are you going
Let me have your phone number
Hey, come back, what do you mean
You don't have a phone
Let me have your address
I'll stop by and visit you
What do you mean
You don't live anywhere
I like to dance with
Girls in sleazy dresses
Lipstick, nail charms
And makeup in excesses
Buy them a drink
And try and get their number
Usually, they are as
Cold as a cucumber
Do you think I'm disco
Am I superficial
Looking hip's my only goal
Do you think I'm disco
Maybe it's not too late
To get into rock and roll
Rock and roll
I'll tell you something
I have never been happier
Now that I'm into
This rock and roll thing
I sold my white three piece suit
At a garage sale last weekend
Made twenty-five dollars
Got rid of my 280z
Picked myself up a
Beat up old '69 Dart
Melted down all my gold jewelry
Into a Led Zeppelin belt buckle
I mean, things are happening
Boy, it's so easy to be led astray
By all those pictures of
Margaret Trudeau in People magazine

To get into disco
