Top Five Songs with “Disco” in the Title That Aren’t Actually Disco
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?
- Pulp, “Disco 2000”
- Stereolab, “French Disko”
- St. Vincent, “Slow Disco”
- Yo La Tengo, “Last Days of Disco”
- Morrissey, “The National Front Disco”
(Honorable mention to Surf Curse’s recent entry “Disco,” but not to the Who’s benighted “Sister Disco.”)
