There are many many great disco songs that name-check the genre in the title, and then as often as possible during the song itself, so you don’t forget that you are getting down to a disco beat. But what of those songs that evoke disco so they can hit a less-exuberant emotional note?

1. Pulp, “Disco 2000”
2. Stereolab, “French Disko”
3. St. Vincent, “Slow Disco”
4. Yo La Tengo, “Last Days of Disco”
5. Morrissey, “The National Front Disco”

(Honorable mention to Surf Curse’s recent entry “Disco,” but not to the Who’s benighted “Sister Disco.”)
