Disco Fever!

Ah, all those dreamy-eyed girls ogling John Travolta in that tight white suit.  Saturday Night Fever ignited the movie screens in 1977.   (I’m dating myself but I was only 13 at the time and not allowed to watch it.)  However, I remember the suit and the whispers from the older giggly girls who couldn’t get enough of the handsome bad boy.

 

My memories of this time consist of our new roller skating rink that had a big disco ball hanging from the ceiling in the middle of the large skating floor.  I spent many a Friday night with those mini wheeled boots tied to my feet.  Do you remember:

·         Fly Robin Fly – It’s an All Skate

·         Heaven Must Have Sent You – Couples Skate

·         Boogie Nights  – All Boy’s Skate

·         I Will Survive – All Girl’s Skate

·         Y.M.C.A.  – It’s an All Skate

·         Boogie Oogie Oogie  – Backward Skate

·         Best of My Love – Couples Skate

·         Rock the Boat – Switch! (Forward/Backward Skate)

·         Boogie Wonderland  – It’s an All Skate

Oh yes!  I can feel the bruises forming on my butt and knees even now!  Those were the days!  I think I’ll go pull a disco CD out of our collection to be-bop around the house this morning.  I’ll be singing…Ring my Bell…all day long!  Thanks Anita Ward.  (My husband may even let me set up the disco ball he uses for his DJ gigs!  Sweet!!! 

Have a groovy day!
