Shake Your Booty

The year was 1976. Yours truly spent a quarter at school in London. Most of my associates were in school in Bellingham or elsewhere in the Great Northwest.

The top ten singles of the year included Disco Lady (#1), Play that Funky Music, Love Machine (Part 1), and Shake Your Booty.

Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley were the top rated television shows.

It was a simple time populated by simple, no, make that innocent youth. Failing eyesight, enlarged prostates, hypertension, aches and pains, and the other ravages of middle-age were, if we noticed them at all, strictly the province of our parents. Life was good and had every prospect of getting even better.

And the defining motion picture of our college years was under production.

The producers of Saturday Night Fever missed the boat when they failed to cast Disco Terry, Disco Jim, or Disco Carl for the film.
