"Music, Levitin argues, is not just something to help pass the time on road trips and a swell facilitator for meeting girls: it is, he writes,“the soundtrack of civilization” — a force that shaped us as a species and prepared us for the higher-order task of sharing complex communications with one another."

disco biscuit
[NAH, i have discussed with you my lack of blogger confidence. i enter timidly into the web trio supreme by adding to and posting your astute post. i hope you don't mind.]
*"the perfect fucking disco song":
"It's got a great bassline"
"It's got a great fucking everything. An amazing crescendo. Pretty much [*]"
[begin trans-generational, trans-cultural dancing, bobbing, heart-throbbing]
I think its true. Also essential to the perfection of this song is the ever-powerful, sing-along inducing, drunk dancing euphoria producing "awwwww" ("ahhh"? "auuuuugh"?) before the chorus. Of course, following this with "baby" is the perfect catharsis.
I'm not sure of any other disco songs that strike me in the same way. Mostly all disco songs by male artists are bad. Does Diana Ross count? (as disco, not a male artist)
