Our local pub has a disco on Friday nights. For years the music was provided by a bloke who went under the name Moby Discs until he was imprisoned for benefit fraud.
Now the Friday night disco is DJ’d by “Disco Dave – Ready to Rave!” – he is rabies free by the way.
“Disco Dave – Ready to Rave!” is down with the kids (but not in a Jimmy Saville kinda way) and shares some of his favourite dance floor fillers for you cats to use when you put on a bash.
“Recent shoplifting expeditions to charity shops in order to obtain new platters for my mobile discotheque, Disco Dave’s Dancing Delights, have unearthed some gems that will have the Merry Fellow rockin’ and a rollin’ all night long. Here are a couple of songs I will be playing……
Jive Bunny – “Whole lotta shit going on” – never used to have time for Jive Bunny until I found out he actually is a real performing rabbit so although this mish mash of old rock n’ roll hits is crap, you’ve got to take your hat off to him because he really is a rabbit. Rabbit rock is here to stay!
Simon & Garfunkel – “Bridge Over Troubled Water” – bit maudlin – but put in on 78rpm and hey presto! its sounds a bit like Lonnie Donegan and seeing as I’ve been unable to nick any Lonnie Donegan it’ll have to do.
John Miles – “Music” – goes on way too long, disappears up its own arse at the end and he couldn’t hold a tune to save his life but gives me a chance to neck a few beers and nip out the back for a ciggie.

“but not in a Jimmy Saville kinda way” Take a bow sir.
And massive respect for the Jive Bunny throwback. I loved that stuff back in the day.
The Savile line was edited in line with recent court cases!
Disco Dave is bringin the goods!
I can’t use his picture because the police want to interview him over some stolen cooked hams he was trying to sell at last Friday’s bash.
(Free of rabies. Where’s the challenge with that?)
Jive Bunny. Loved that one!
Did you have jive bunny in the States?
I think I have a crush on Jive Bunny. He is adorable.
He dominated the charts quite a few years ago. A dark time!
Sounds like a rockin’ good time! Thanks for the fab tips!
Keep an eye for more floor filling ideas Susie!
Rabies free for like a couple of days or for a while? I always find it’s good to ask.
Good tunes, my man. S&G sped up, I don’t know about that, but I am game for anything.
Any floor fillers you always strut your funky stuff to?
Yeah, a few of late. I dig Bastille’s Pompeii, Mufmord and Sons’ The Cave, and Lorde’s Team.
I know two of them! Will check out Lorde. Cheers
