Disco Sucks.
Well, alright... Disco mostly sucks.
Disco mostly sucks because of Disco songs trying to be more than Disco. They try to be high art, or the music is self-indulgent, or too serious. Disco can only be good when it knows it's Disco.
It unclear whether Shake Your Groove Thing was written by Herb, or by Peaches, if it was written before they broke up, or after they were Reunited, but they made an excellent song. It's a song that knows it's just Disco: fun and light. It's got a funky beat that's easy to dance to, where you can put on some loud clothes, jump on a multi-colored floor and look out for the mirrored ball above your head.
This song really is about as good as Disco gets.
Thank God. Now we can move on.
