1975 was a strange time.

It's "Disco-Tex and his Sex-o-Lettes." They had one top ten hit in
1975
-- called "Get Dancin' " -- and if you look up its lyrics, here's what you
get.
Doo doo, doo doo, doo-doo doot
Doo doo, doo doo, doo-doo doot
Get dancing, dancing dancing!
Doo doo, doo doo, doo-doo doot
Doo doo, doo doo, doo-doo doot
Get dancing, dancing dancing!
Amazingly, the song was 7 minutes long.
There's a little bit more -- but officially
the song had exactly two
lyrics.
Here comes D.J. Disco Tex
truckin with his Sex-O-Lettes
Get dancing!
Guaranteed to rock the boat,
Machine gun rap n' locomote
Get dancin' !
It pads things out with an over-the-top spoken word riff from
a former hairdresser who now billed himself as "Sir Monti Rock III."
America needs you! We need you to go dance! We need you to get
together,
and
boogie woogie woogie woogie! RADAR LOVE IS HERE! THE STAR OF STARS!
THIS
IS
YOUR NIGHT! THIS IS YOUR LIFE!
No matter how pretty you are,
Nobody cares how you wear your hair, darling.
Just keep doing it!
Do it, baby
You can't think of all the wrong
All the wrong of the world.
You can't think of all the bad things you do.
You just get out.
Get dancing.
One music
critic called it "As
calculated, stagy, and utterly bizarre an attempt at rocketing someone to
fame as humanly possible..."
