    Yes, the only danger I see is the possibility that Noel might trip up and fall on top of it when shtrutting his shtuff to David's Sister Sledge albums...

    Gosh, I remember that one - '79 I think wasn't it? I was in third year in secondary school

    I presume you're a 'Le Freak' man, too? 'I feel Love' by Donna Summer is another classic.

    D-I-S-C-O rools, daddy-o!

    Now your talking, I Love Donna Summer...or I should qualify that I love the 10 min + electronic workouts (not quite so keen on the short pop songs).

    Default '70s disco...

    Yep, DS has real class - I love all her stuff, but some of the 'cheesy' Disco from the '70s was a 'larf, too.

    'I lost my heart to a draught excluder' by Sarah B was another one
