then let's have a ball
Today in obscure Youtube mining, Cristina! No Wave's breathy delight.
This one's based on the Peggy Lee classic, but with even more nihilistic lyrics. And there were boys in Spandex t-shirts and they were dancing with each other! And I thought, is that all there is to a disco?
Possibly her most famous song, recently covered by Ladytron.
This anti-disco stuff kind of reminds me of Freaks and Geeks. Cristina on this song: When Michael bought 'Disco Clone,' I said, 'That is, without doubt, the worst song I have ever heard,'" recalls Cristina. "'It is so bad that the only way you could record it would be as Brechtian pastiche.' And Michael said, 'Do you want to give it a shot?'"
All I want for Christmas is a sense of total disillusionment.
Every time I wanna kiss, you put a cigarette between your lips, oh I know why.
