Post 40: Workin' & Slavin' Away

F'ing killer track with a hyper-id "uggggh" release chant repeated throughout! And a clock strikes midnight bell! Slightly italo sounding except for the sappy diva vocal disaster. Re-arrangers: message: rearrange this one to perfection! Best re-edit gets an RR feature! -Tristes Trop.

Bunny Sigler - Super Duper Duper Super Man - Salsoul (1980)

From the LP "Let It Snow". Never released as a 12" single. Features mixing by mutant disco extraordinaire Bob Blank, lyrics about Dark Kent, an insane break (done 3 times), a mostly coherent narrative, & easy sing along chants:

I don't like kryptonite, but I like Lois Lane
I don't like kryptonite, but I like Lois Lane
I don't like kryptonite, but I like Lois Lane

D.C. LaRue - Confessions - Pyramid (1978)

Connecticut producer D.C. LaRue brings spacey synth disco to the masses, during a period where the genre was pretty unadventurous. Also known as the first white producer to top the charts & the man behind the first widely available disco single in 1976.

Kensi-Kensu - Casanova - Baby Records (1983)



One hit wonder German duo disco-rap with an awesome video of a phone conversation taking place between Kensi and Kensu in a pink bedroom and a red phone booth. Who is Kensi and who is Kensu? Classic Eurodisco a la "Paris Latino."
