Welcome back, ‘Super Freaks’! We’re cool and groovin’ our ‘Good Times’ here in our “I Can’t Believe You Haven’t Seen That Part 3: The Rebelievening” and we’re going to ‘Get Down Tonight’ with that ‘Disco Inferno’ of a movie “Saturday Night Fever”! Why? Because Mike’s never seen it, so we’re going to ‘Turn the Beat Around’ in a ‘Celebration’ of the disco era! We’re not trying to be ‘Bad Girls’ here, we just ‘Love the Nightlife’. So come and ‘Boogie Oogie Oogie’ with us and see what made John Travolta’s film career ‘Hustle’ on up to the top! Mike and me, ‘We Are Family,’ so we’re in this together with you! Because who doesn’t loathe love disco? I certainly do one of those things! I don’t want to ‘Rock the Boat’ here in this ‘Boogie Wonderland’ but while this movie thinks ‘You Should Be Dancing,’ we’d like it if you’d give us a listen while you pick out your favorite leisure suit and see which of your bell-bottoms flare out the widest! Not to worry, I’m not coming down with ‘Night Fever’, I’m just barely ‘Stayin’ Alive’, reliving the hellscape that was disco. I have to stop now. If I keep quoting disco song titles, I’m not sure that ‘I Will Survive’ DAMMIT!!!!!
Poll question: what style of music would you like to see more represented in movies?

I think music in movies is more a case of finding the right style for each film so I don’t really think any style should be used unless it’s appropriate for the film it’s in which leads me to wish that so many films, especially some animated ones will use popular music of the moment with no regard as to if it works or adds to the movie or not. If I hear that “move it, movie” song in another film I will scream!
I forgot to correct Max! How lazy of me! Zowie Bowie is Duncan Jones, he rejected that name early on and legally I think he has always been Duncan Jones from his birth certificate.
I can’t believe you delayed a chance to correct me….
“Zowie Bowie”? See, all this time I thought he had a daughter and named her Zoe. Too normal for Ziggy Stardust, I guess.
Good point about music fitting the movie, rather than the other way round. I was more wondering about movies that are tributes to or seriously feature a particular type of music.
Thanks, Vince!
I misinterpreted your question, must be a translation problem from French to Penguin to English!
Sorry, I should have run it through something other than Google-Penguin translate.
