(This leaves out everything from SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER unfortunately.) 2) At least one of the 2 above versions must have been heard in the film.    Posted:   Aug 25, 2008 - 4:32 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) Criswell predicts that someone will ignore the request that these be only disco versions of non-disco tunes and the topic will veer into a discussion of disco tunes which the original poster never intended.    Posted:   Aug 25, 2008 - 4:36 PM     By:   PhiladelphiaSon   (Member) Everything on this album "There's No Business Like Show Business" (Berlin) - 5:48 "Everything's Coming Up Roses" (Sondheim, Styne) - 6:30 "I Get a Kick Out of You" (Porter) - 6:09 "Something for the Boys" (Porter) - 5:19 "Some People" (Sondheim, Styne) - 4:49 "Alexander's Ragtime Band" (Berlin) - 4:28 "I Got Rhythm" (Gershwin, Gershwin) - 5:06    Posted:   Aug 25, 2008 - 4:37 PM     By:   MikeP   (Member) The theme from King Kong by Barry White & The Love Unlimited Orchestra    Posted:   Aug 25, 2008 - 4:38 PM     By:   Michael24   (Member) My favorite is by my favorite music band. In 1979, the very first single by Huey Lewis and the News (then called the American Express) was a disco version of the theme from 1960's EXODUS, entitled "Exo-Disco."    Posted:   Aug 25, 2008 - 4:48 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) The theme from King Kong by Barry White & The Love Unlimited Orchestra This can't be real.

OK, but just a warning, once you hear it, a quick death might be a viable option to get this out of your head... http://www.thetunemakers.com/Bilder/Exodisco.mp3    Posted:   Aug 25, 2008 - 5:39 PM     By:   altmaniac   (Member) This can't be real. oh its real, very real, all 8 minutes of it. you can listen to it on rhapsody http://mp3.rhapsody.com/barrywhite/thebestofbarrywhitesloveunlimitedorchestra/themefromkingkong12version    Posted:   Aug 25, 2008 - 5:46 PM     By:   Michael24   (Member) Once again, before I die....

But at least it got them started, and it's not as bad as some other disco versions of themes.    Posted:   Aug 25, 2008 - 8:24 PM     By:   piano632   (Member) 2) At least one of the 2 above versions must have been heard in the film. Well, I guess that eliminates Macho Duck http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIGW5lhU0rk    Posted:   Aug 25, 2008 - 8:29 PM     By:   Josh   (Member) MECO's Star Wars (surprised no one's mentioned it yet) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWUp2MhVvwQ    Posted:   Aug 25, 2008 - 8:29 PM     By:   Gary S.   (Member) Anything Meco turned into disco....Star Wars, Wizard of OZ, Superman. Gary    Posted:   Aug 25, 2008 - 9:39 PM     By:   Josh   (Member) Looks like we had the same thought there, Gary. I'm listening to the PHANTASM score right now, and there's a killer disco version of the main theme, entitled "Silver Sphere Disco." Check it out: www.moviegrooves.com/m3u/phantasm-low-4.m3u    Posted:   Aug 25, 2008 - 9:47 PM     By:   zippy   (Member) Goldsmith's "Coma" & John Williams "Close Encounters" rank up there pretty high, but I just listened to Lalo Schifrin's take on "Jaws" and I gotta say it swallows the competition.    Posted:   Aug 25, 2008 - 9:55 PM     By:   Josh   (Member) Goldsmith's "Coma" & John Williams "Close Encounters" rank up there pretty high, but I just listened to Lalo Schifrin's take on "Jaws" and I gotta say it swallows the competition. Love that JAWS track. There's also a few film-score-themes-turned-into-disco/funk-a-la-Lalo on his TOWERING TOCCATA album, including themes from DAY OF THE ANIMALS, THE EAGLE HAS LANDED, ROLLERCOASTER, and Barry's KING KONG. http://www.amazon.com/Towering-Toccata-Lalo-Schifrin/dp/B000160YZY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1219722870&sr=1-1    Posted:   Aug 25, 2008 - 10:17 PM     By:   Josh   (Member) The Super Tracks CD release of Joe Harnell's THE INCREDIBLE HULK TV score contains this little gem: Theme from THE INCREDIBLE HULK (Disco Version) Sample: www.superheroes-r-us.com/index.php/2008/incredible-hulk-disco-theme/ Don't make him do the Hustle. You won't like him when he Hustles.    Posted:   Aug 25, 2008 - 10:21 PM     By:   Steve Johnson   (Member) I recently got a burn of the 1977 lp for Barry's THE DEEP and I had forgotten how much I liked Donna Summer's disco take, "DOWN, DEEP INSIDE". She sounds like she's about to explode!    Posted:   Aug 26, 2008 - 2:24 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) Once again, before I die.... OK, but just a warning, once you hear it, a quick death might be a viable option to get this out of your head... http://www.thetunemakers.com/Bilder/Exodisco.mp3 Oh, this was just too awful. Thanks for putting it out there. I wonder how much Ernest Gold earned for this.    Posted:   Aug 26, 2008 - 4:45 PM     By:   ahem   (Member) Moroder and Faltermeyer gave BATTLESTAR GALLACTICA a popular and memorable, disco make over in 78: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVbVf8iba8s The SUPERMAN movies sucked signficantly in the disco department: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtellkMvLzM (the FSM album version is MUCH worse than that, too)!     General Discussion: Disco version!    < 1 2 3  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5
