Английская Википедия:Get Dancin'
"Get Dancin'" is a song written by Bob Crewe and Kenny Nolan and performed by Disco-Tex and the Sex-O-Lettes, led by Monti Rock III. The song was produced by Bob Crewe and arranged by Bruce Miller.[1] The song was featured on their 1975 album, Disco Tex & His Sex-O-Lettes Review.[2]
It reached #1 on the US Disco chart, #3 on the US Dance chart, #8 on the UK Singles Chart, #8 in Canada,[3] #10 on the Billboard Hot 100, #19 in Australia,[4] and #32 on the US R&B chart in 1974.[5] The single ranked #100 on Billboard's Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1975.[6]
Monti Rock III, calling himself Disco Tex, tells the audience that despite the troubles in the world, they should dance and enjoy themselves. As the song ends, he thanks the audience for their applause. It appears they want him to do an encore of the song. At first, he protests. "I am tired, I can't, I'm exhausted" he tells the audience, adding that his wig is wet from perspiration. But they continue to chant and he begins the song again.
The single (which is essentially Part 1) lasts 3.20 and fades after the words "My chiffon is wet, darling". The complete version (Parts 1 and 2) lasts 7.15.
