Because if we are, then I've got some great rock-disco songs that I've discovered over the past ten years:

  • "Fire" by Mantus
  • "Spiderman" by Peter Griffin (no, not the Family Guy character)
  • "For Your Love" by Chilly
  • "20th Century Foxes" by Angel
  • "Walk the Night" by the Skatt Bros.
  • "Empire Strikes Back" by Meco Monardo
  • "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" by HOT R.S.
  • "Hell on Wheels" by Cher
  • "Alien" by Methusalem
  • "Backdoor Man" by Giants
  • "You Really Got Me" by Disco Rock Machine
  • "Od Avinu Hai" by Ricki Gal

Most of those I don't think I've ever heard.

BTW...I am a fan of disco.




Edit...
I plucked Hot R.S. Out of your list because that is a song I thought would be a challenge to turn "disco". I will say they made a very original and unusual disco version. BUT...It's god awful.

For decades I thought Kelly Marie's record was just another disco song, then I read or heard somewhere that it was written by Jerry Dorset. The first video is Kelly's original hit, followed by Jerry Dorset singing the song over a couple of disco tracks. I would rather hear him do it in his usual rock style, but they are still strangely fascinating to me.

There is a rock version, on the Candy Dreams album . . .

Just to redress the balance, here's a clip of one of my favourite Dorset songs. It is a pity the audio and video are poor quality, but I coud not find better with them together:
