I'm a huge dance music fan too but I have to say Defying Gravity doesn't feel liek it has the right structure to really make a good dance track--cheasy or otherwise. Hard to explain--I could be wrong...
And I freely admit I think Boris Midney (one of the more experimental disoc producers) and his album of DIsco Evita is rather great. Seriously--I really do. Disco Sweeney on the other hand...
(Deborah Cox's Easy as Life was great too but the song was tweaked to become a pretty standard, though good, dance anthem--they knew what they were doing with it)

I love Deborah's "Easy as Life".
And the White Party... I knew I should've went.

Posted: 4/3/07 at 10:26amI hope this doesn't sound like the remixes of Seasons of Love. There was a CD of remixes of the song and it was horrible. It was all techno.

Posted: 4/3/07 at 12:41pmrentga589: Not sure. It was given to me to burn. It had about 10 versions of the song and was awful. I had hoped there would be different types of mixes but they were all pretty much techno club mixes. I wanted to scratch my eyes out after hearing them!

I have a cd called Harajuku and it is Broadway and Movie songs "done disco"
Phantom of the Opera (with creaking sounds)
Own My Own
Colors of the Wind
I Still Believe
I Dreamed a Dream
and so much more...
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

Posted: 4/6/07 at 10:33amOk, I admit I am confused by this thread. Is there really a Disco Sweeney out there or is this a belated April Fool's joke?

Posted: 4/6/07 at 10:38amThere is a disco Sweeney. Check out the site and search for "disco sweeney". It's quite good.

Posted: 4/6/07 at 4:38pmMy Heart Will Go On wasn't composed to dance to it; however, some queen found a way to add that gay beat to it to make it a club sensation.

I'm predicting the dance remix of DG will start slow, and then on the line, "Close my eyes...and leeeeeeeeeeap," a big thumpy techno beat will kick in.
It's a disco formula that has proven effective many times before(Last Dance, No More Tears, The Main Event, MacArthur Park, etc.)and I can actually see this working for DG.
For a recent example of a showtune successfully remixed for the dance floor, check out "the other site" for "I Just Wanna Dance" from The Jerry Springer Opera. It's really infectious, and the accompanying video is fabulous!

LOL I found those at Borders last month and nearly peed myself.
I had to buy them just for the camp value. . but the Out Tonight remix is actually fun to listen to while you get ready to go out.
