*******************-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ DISCO: An obnoxious form of music in a hardly subtle 4/4 tempo. Each heavily accented quarter note is driven home with drums, bass, hammers, etc. with no room for variation. The metronome timing is now part of the recognized "DISCO standard" and set at 128 beats per minute. A label is to be placed on each DISCO record to warn of the permanent brainwashing effect this music might have on small children and dogs. This was reprinted, without permission, from the "DISCO Gazette quarterly", Vol 2, No 4. in an article entitled "DISCO and its place in the shrubs". Seriously, I have to confess that I took a liking to Manhattan Transfer's "Twilight Tone" (Twilight Zone theme) and this could be classified as DISCO. Nobody's perfect.
