Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for November 12, 2022

Amazingly coherent narrative for Bucky.

up the irons!

Black Sabbath killed disco

Didn’t Video Kill The Radio Star?

Like I said, John Revolta.

I can understand M3 easier than Bucky’s French …

For those of us who are French-impaired, la fièvre du samedi soir translates to Saturday Night Fever.

And Flannel shirt music died along with it (The Eagles, Doobie bros. Jackson Browne, etc).

I know it’s a dozen years old, but I am really enjoying this sequence.

Just screwed my coffee. Fortunately I have more.

“I got fire in my mind

I get higher in my walkin’

And I’m glowin’ in the dark

Give you warnin’….

-

Sweet Cave woman

She moves through the light

Controlling my mind and my soul

When you reach out for me

And the feelin’ is right

-

Night fever, night fever

We know how to do it

Gimme that night fever,

night feverWe know how to show it"

(Slight alteration for the discaux “Cave” woman. There were no cities back then

I credit Bob Seger’s “Old Time Rock & Roll” with killing disco.

I thought it was some punks that killed disco.

Disco lives on in my house, car, etc. I never got over my case of Boogie Fever

“I like rock, I like soul, I like pop but I never liked Discaux…” – Everclear

I lived in a town with a long french name when disco was at it’s peak. While the locals were drinking it up in the C&W bar up the hill, I embraced disco and learned to dance and wear rather strange garb. That said, I got to KNOW a great many of the towns unmarried lass’s after a night of tearing up the dance floor. Disco was an alluring medium to convince many to deny their Catholic upbringing, if you get my drift.

Disco died of its own excesses and not a moment too soon.

Stones Age.

If it’s mainstreamed enough that the the mainstream’s aware of it, it’s yesterday’s news.

Those French weekend viruses can really do you in. :)

“My Sharona” is often credited with killing Disco.

Terrifying indeed. I can’t even find Discaux on the map now.

Discaux was wiped out by fever, but the stone – or rock – age had a virulent strain of pneumonia, which carried the colloquially termed boogie-woogie flu alongside it

It happened on a Saturday. By nightfall, everyone had the fever.

Sacré noire et bleu …!

and I wore a leisure suit.

Truly riveting and yet revolting—Travolting, you might say.

Hang on, doesn’t Satchel speak French?

Disco left the cave and got into house

Get Fuzzy goes months without a really good joke, then it pulls off a series like this that is just sheer genius day after day for a week.

I never figured Bucky as part of the polyester brigade. Saw him more in step with Public Image Limited, the Stranglers, Black Flag, etc. Oh well……
