Help Me Moz-Solo - You're My Only Hope

[Uncleskinny]

So, I'm in this X-Factor style siging contest, and I'm in the last 4. They want me to do a country song and a disco dong for the next round on Sunday, and I'm stumped. For the country I have Misty by Ray Stevens, but the disco one has me stumped. They're either lady singers or chaps with a very high register - can you think of a disco-era song, sung by a bloke, with a medium register, nothing too high. I know you can do it - all the musical knowledge out there...

Oooooookaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy - I can see where this is going. No lady songs, no Village People songs, please. People will begin to talk...

ABBA's "Does Your Mother Know?" It's like rock disco, and the guys sang it.

I think if you put on a dress & wig it might impress the judges no?

OKOK a male disco song? hmmn how about disco-ing up a Smiths or Moz song, let's be creative eh?

P.s. last time I went to a disco it was 'bye bye baby' by the bay city rollers

 

[MsChievous]

Barry White?? I think some of his stuff could be catagorized as disco...

 

[Alcoholic Afternoons]

You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine (or something like that) by Lou Rawls?

 

[MsChievous]

Oh - how about KC and the Sunshine Band? Earth Wind and Fire with Maurice White doing vocals as Phil Bailey would be too high of a range.

[Dave]

Lionel Ritchie and the Commodores?

If you sing Brickhouse you have to post it.

KC and the Sunshine Band?

If it was me, I'd want to sing West End Girls. Not much singing, and you could get someone to stand next to you and look bored. It might be a hit.

I love you, I can just see Skinny as Mikey J. PMSL

These are all excellent - I like the Patrick Hernandez & Earth Wind & Fire ones. Me and the missus have had the Guinness book of hit singles open - What do you reckon to Gonzalez, Shalamar, Tavares, O'Jays? Do Level 42 count? Probably not.

My tan is just as good as his. Now.

When you said Mikey J, I instantly thought of Holiday Rap by MC Miker G & DJ Sven - who remembers that? "We're gonna ringer-ding-dang for a holeedaaay"...oh dear.

I could do Easy, but it's not as Disco as Brickhouse. Brickhouse is a good one.
