- Disco diva Alicia Bridges scored big in 1978 with her chart-topping hit "I Love the Nightlife." It was her biggest moment in music, making her self-titled debut a definite part of the feel-good disco scene of the late '70s. The blues-tinged "Diamond in the Rough" and "Broken Woman" were mildly successful, but Bridges never regained her disco reign. Two more albums followed -- 1979's Play It as It Lays and 1984's Hocus Pocus -- but those failed to gain recognition despite some disco threads transitioning into the new wave scene of the early '80s. Bridges wasn't entirely forgotten. Nearly 20 years later, electronic dance gurus "Little" Louie Vega and Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez of the house act Masters at Work revamped "I Love the Nightlife for the campy flick The Last Days of Disco. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide

Hi there! May 04, 2024😊
How can the audience just sit there. This song is bangers man
German audiences are "well behaved".
Parang mga poste lang sila. 😂
@@elmoranas / ?. . . ?? . . . or Phillipino's 😵💫
DOG GONE RIGHT!! You have to be deader than dead not to Groove to this classic😊!!
She was lip-syncing, so... not all that exciting
Here I am again, this song really made me dance. Even though I'm now 60,who cares. I dance round my house to this all the time ❤❤❤❤❤ loved your song girl. Love from the Republic of Ireland 😊❤❤❤
Me 2
I am 68 and still dancing to this song.
i will be 70 next Dec but i could listen to this song all day
KEEP DANCING EVERYONE!! ITS GREAT FOR THE MIND AND BODY 🙏
Yo tengo 56 y aún lo b a Ilo y d disfruto cuando lo escucho.
Honestly, this is the BEST pronunciation of "ACTION" ever!
ACK - SHON
@@patgalvez4563 haha! I've been wondering how to spell it my WHOLE LIFE! You nailed it! 😂
Ack - Shawn .. ❤ it 😂😂❗️
It’s great 😅
Ak- shawn....
This is killing me. I want to go back to the 1970s. I maybe 63 years old, but I can still boogie.
Me too. Same age. And I certainly wouldn't just sit there while she performs.
I can't stand it when an audience just sits still when they should be into the music!!! I even had a person sitting still next to me @ a show complaining about the vibration caused by my feet hitting the (carpeted) floor to the music! I am told that people want to watch the performance and not be distracted by dancing or moving to the beat. Whatever!! I would have been out of my seat jamming to Alicia!! 😸
I keep telling my kids...our generation was the coolest.
I still got it too, soon to be 62 in December '21.
i hear you!!
Damn. That audience needs more Ack-shown!
keep in mind they were probably just watching her lip sync for the 10th take or something.
@@therealxunil2 Alicia miming is too much Ack-shon for those limp dicks.
@Rev Helper I agree that the 70s were far more polite than now - I remember them well as Maurice Chevalier used to say!
Jonathan Washington , you ain’t wrong!
They're Germans what did you expect?
I love how the audience are sitting there uninterested and Alicia doesn't give two hoots, she's going for it anyway!❤️
Luudes man, luudes. It was the 70s after all
Most live TV shows have always had cue cards for audiences as well as pre recorded performances.
The audience is mesmerized
@Lesley Debelloy p
They're German 😒
The beauty of old school Disco music never dies!
I'm 61 and there's been no other theme for me. I just want to dance the night away. I've been married to my wife for 31 years. Never stop being able to dance the night away!!
Wonderful*! An A plus credit*!
How about when you break your hip Jim
LMFAO 😂
Brilliant number still listening here in the uk 🇬🇧 2024

Here in San Diego USA
Over here in Ohio, USA. 🎶💜
@@ladyredd1618HERE IN CONNECTICUT USA🇺🇸
That audience is outta control!!!
LOL!! Yeah, I mean, where was Security? Alicia could've easily been killed!
+Marshal Tenner Winter I'm just glad the studio was properly insured and nobody was seriously injured.
I mean, come ON. A little enthusiasm is fine but no need to make a spectacle out of yourself.
Absolute lunatics
Marshal Tenner Winter they can’t contain themselves
Aparte de hermosa canción, el lenguaje corporal y sus gestos de esta mujer es arte puro.
Hey, I'm 79 and can still boogie. Tapping my foot listening to this song. Love disco music!
Fantastic!! 😊
❤️ super great disco & r& b music
Can't listen to this without picturing George Hamilton and Susan St. James dancing to it. Love at first Bite is a classic
Right!!!!! That was AWESOME!
😅
Yep. 😂
Me too
Yes!
It's 2024 and this still rocks! ❤😂🎉
Nicholas Cage has this in his new movie🤣
Shure 💃🕺
Yes
It does!! I had this on a K-Tel record when I was 8 or 9. Loved it!
Woww!! I totally remember Kugel records!!! We had lost in our many moves🤒
The chorus of this song has haunted my mind since 1978, when I was 7. This is the first time in 45 years that I've heard the song.
WELCOME TOO MY WORLD 🌍 I LISTEN TOO THIS FULL BLAST EVERY NIGHT, AND SO DO MY NEIGHBORS!!
OMG, the audience is priceless...just sitting there while she's discoing her heart out...gotta love the 70's
I agree--they look comatose. I'm old enough to have been in college in the late seventies...fun, fun time.
Looks like she's singing in front of a bunch of statues.
I'd be up there, ripping up the floor boards!
LMAO
😂😂😂
This was her biggest and only hit! What a great song! Brings back very fond memories.
Oh man her voice, she had some lungs on her, always loved Alicia, RIP my Queen!!!☺
@@deborahneal161she's not dead lmfao. Unless the late great Wade Boggs. RIP Boss Hog.
It can't be her 'biggest' and 'only' hit, lol. It's either one or the other. It was her only hit.
@@michaeld2519 Okay Mr. Doctorate of ENglish--I bow down to your superior use of the langugage.... but I'm sure she had other pieces written that never went anywhere.
@@TomokoAbe_ Yes, bow down to your master, you ungrateful slave - before I throw you into the dungeon! Don't be so upset, lol. I am a published writer, so I notice such things. Fair enough though, my comment was unkind and unnecessary, and I apologise. Hope you have a good day. ☺
Maaan I miss the 70's! This is one of the songs that truly defy that era.
Your so right, this song just does it for me😂😂
The best days of my life was in the 70s and I didn’t even know it until it was gone!!❤❤
I feel you, 80's for me
That’s how it always is: we don’t realize how good things were until they change.
Knowing that, jump way ahead now, or your realization is mute-
At 60, I'm ready to be ahead of the game instead of living in what's gone, I just enjoy the old groove now then look for tomorrow ~~
Peace and adventure till we drop !!!!
@@SheriFromDetroit yeah 70sand 80s ❤️
@@crystalwtube you’re so right!❤️
Damn my generation was a hell of a lot better than my kids! Disco big hair fancy dresses lit up dance floor and some of the best damn music of any era! Hell yea exciting time to be young and grow up in! Cant help but pop some moves when I hear all that great music!
Totally agree
Me trae mucha nostalgia este temaso yo todavia cursaba el 4 primaria en 1978😢❤
The only thing that goes out at night on a boomer is their hip....Justin Bieber.
I'm old enough to remember her music in the clubs. We were so blessed to have this kind of music then in the 70's especially the late 70's. Disco made the nightclubs come alive. What I wouldn't do to go back then in my early 20's and
enjoy it all over again.
How I wish they would play disco at the clubs again and make it a theme night.
I gotta say, I play the bass guitar, and damnit if Disco basslines ain’t some of the most goddamn funkiest pieces of finely crafted music ever!
Definitely!!! So many memories !
My dad and I restored the interior of an old barn on his property put in some light up floors a legit retro disco ball ect. His town has a population of about 1200 middle of no where he throws parties at his “love shack”. I didn’t really get to experience the era but I atleast got to recreate it for my high school parties lol
And don't forget that in 1978 it was legal in most states for 18 year olds to drink alcohol. We had a lot more fun than kids today, and we weren't as hung up or suffered from being so easily triggered like todays teenagers and twenty somethings.
This is one of the great songs of the disco era.
This is timeless, she doesn't need any backup singers she kills it the audience's weak they are in awe of what they're listening to and watching it's so obvious
It is one of the great songs of ANY era! Fantastic!
This is why the 70s RULE
Definitely
Jesus, if the audience gets anymore livelier, a funeral might break out.
You win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best comment in TH-cam history!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I agree brilliant comment!
Hahahahahah
But at least back then they didn't shoot at funerals
😂😂😂😂
I loved this song as a kid in the 70s😊❤.
This song never gets old♡♡
But you do
It really doesn't. Here July 2020!
@@walle637 Oh, and YOU don't!?!
Never
@@Marionettenightmares Just gets better with age, like fine wine.
That song was one of the most play songs doing the disco area.
I remember way back in my 5th grade that this song would always play in my Dad's car whenever he would pick me up from school or bring me to school. I love my Dad so much and appreciate the influence he has upon me especially when it comes to my extensive, good taste in music. I'm 24 years old now, my Dad had a stroke last 2009 but at least the left side of his body still functions well. My dad cooks, loves to sing, and makes great conversation. I'm smiling as I'm writing this because everytime we listen to good music like this, we would always be happy. Life's beauty can really be seen through the simplest of things... I thank God everyday for these wonderful blessings and the awesome memories that we share..
Please send my love to your dad. He sounds like a dude xxx 😘😘💕💞
@@clairecarlia-jones5979 Yup, he sure is. Thanks for the compliment, Claire. 🤗My Dad and I appreciate it. Sending our love to you and your family as well. 🙏Btw, you have the same name as my sister--Claire (Dad's little princess) 😄
You, ve got a cool Dad! This song is an Golden Oldie.👌🏼I was 12 back then in 1978.I loved (and still do) this song! Bring back sweet memories. Me listening to the radio every Friday night at "the soulshow" here in Holland in my bedroom late at night 🎶📻. some songs just remined you of things that makes you feel 😊. Wish you and your Dad all the best for the future and many happy, lovely times together.💞🎶
That’s so sweet. Bless you ❤️
@@anjadane1149 Thank you! Wish the same for you and your family as well 🙏
Aww…yes! We are still here for this song in 2024. Good music is simply timeless🎉❤❤❤❤
Disco is still alive in me..... Baby of the 70's
Same.🎶🎵
God Bless 💗🙏
I was 66 years old when this came out in 1978. It still is great music even when I am 115 years old now.
115? Are you sick in the head?
lol
Ha ha ha
Not kidding ???
@@Johnmag1976 He's not kidding, and he still loves the nightlife!
My mom had this song on an old 8-track. Love music from back in the day. Miss you mama. 1943 💔 2011
What a pretty and wonderful woman ,hello my darling ?
I was a Heavy metal/Rock and roll guy. Whenever I was by myself I would blast this in my car. Never in front My buddies though. I bet they did the same, this song rocked.
Lol. You know damn well they did.😂🤣
IM Old 76 but OH yea Turn up the Volume Big Time !!!

Nic Cage would agree!!!!
Best one hit wonder of the disco era
Man what a very unique singer she is! She has a very interesting way she sings and it is not easy the way she sings this!! Excellent!
i remember listen to this over and over at the age of 5 sitting in my mom lap. One of her favorite songs R.I.P (mom) I miss you so much
Awww nice memory, so sorry for your loss. Your mom is still there and you will hold each other again ❤
I remember Upside Down by Diana Ross from my mother as well as this one. Im glad she is still here and very sorry for your loss but we have these songs to remember all the times we had.
I’m 24 years old and love all old music! And I just heard this Gem last night and I regret not finding this song sooner! This is the type of song that literally makes me walk around with a big smile on my face
Watch the movie Presilla Queen of the Desert.
Real early 80,s disco bomb music.another version try Scooter Lee,might enjoy.
Welcome youngster 😁
@@sharonreah8610 Or "Love At First Bite," which is where I first heard this sweet little gem of a song.
@JasonIn2023 theres still hope for this generation!
I miss the 1970s and 80s music I love the disco nights every Saturdays ♥️♥️
She lived inside my tiny AM radio when I was a kid
Lol
Adorable.
good one :-)
I bet she moved out once she received the royalties from this song.
What a fabulous look she has. Sort of Bowie meets the Marquis de Sade.
😂
Lol
I don't know who Marquis de Sade is
😂😂
@@ElvarMasson Google him, dummy.
Im 55 and remember this song on the radio.” Always thought she was black”😂👍❤️
Me too!
Omg me too!!@
I'm 55 as well, I remember she was white ,but I couldn't remember her name. I loved this song
Yes me too!
I still think she is.
A great song souvenir of my childhood, I was 10 years old in 1978.
I learned my schoolwork in the evening by locking myself in the big dining room of the family home in the beautiful south of France. And with music, because it always helped me to learn with background music. ^^ The house's Hi-Fi system was installed in the dining room. On the FM radio, on a 33 rpm record or cassettes, I played a lot of songs, and I remember this one very well! A happy and wonderful childhood! :-)
A distant past now but still so close in my mind. My father left us 4 years ago and my mother almost 3 years ago. Time passes so quickly that we don't have time to really enjoy it... 😞
I'm leaving this comment here so maybe after a week or a month or a year when someone likes it, I get reminded of this awesome song.
Such a great song of a behind generation.. can’t get it out of my head!!
A pretty awesome song for sure heheh..
This woman is my hero with her golden ankle bootlets and that comatose crowd surrounding her at the MusikLaden. HERO I SAY!
A great disco hot hit. Made a splash in the movie Love at first bite with George Hamilton.
And it was perfect in that movie!
The first movie I ever saw with a boy. Lol.
@@kimberlyilgen8988 Yes Yes Yes - Thank U! Brilliant, everyone started swinging as in the 1920's to this song and had lots of vampire themes. :))))
Thanks
Disco days were so fun! This was a great song. Love the words and dance beat!
I love it when she sings "I want some _'ak-shawn!'"_
Good times! This was so exciting on the radio late
at night in the 70s!
That cracks me up
That's why I'm here
When this 1st. played my girl and i would play this and we danced 200 times, well not 200 but a LOT !!!
@@RolandStone32 Me too.
I want to give it. I want some too
"I want some action". This song just popped in my head and I started singing. My mom played this all the time. Whoa, I'm getting old!!!
What a pretty and wonderful woman ,hello my darling ?
Don't know why I had a sudden urge to hear this song. But these comments were worth the trip.
Achion gotta love that raspy voice. Great song. Danced to it at the Disco and skated to it at the Roller Rink. ✅
2022 and this song can still make people dance and smile! I'm an 80s kid so I remember my mom listening to this from a movie she used to watch also. Today I needed to smile and feel something again and this song popped into my head and I felt alive again. That's amazing what music can do for you.
😮 80's. What's that?🎉
I'm an 80s kid too!! Raced Bmx all over the country in the 80s !! Parachute pants from chess King /Merry-go-round stores in the mall!! MTv!!! What a life!! Kids now days have nothing but drug overdoses and RAP Shit music! Transgenderism!! What a Shitty world it is now!!!😢
There were lots of clubs like that in S.J.,ca., there gone now😢
So true 💜
What a pretty and wonderful woman ,hello my darling ?
Happy 71st Birthday Alicia Bridges!(Born July 15, 1953)😃🥳🎂🎉🎊🎈🎁🍾🥂💚🎀🌷🌹💐👍👏🙌
Really she’s a July baby I’m July 19
This was my absolutely favourite song when I was 13 back when it was released in 1978. I would literally drop whatever I was doing and run to the radio to listen to Alicia Bridges belt this out...
I loved this song also. I was 11. You got by a couple of years.
Truly excellent music transcends ages. I was twenty-five in 1978.
I was 12, and you're right, this was a kickass song!
This was so close to the 80s...
This makes me smile!😌🙂
Today everyone says disco is out, but when I hear my favorite song with Alicia bridges I don't care, I love the music from the time I came to the discotheques, and to you Alicia, I love you..
YES, when there were Disco music I loved the nightlife
I was born in 1980. I listen to 1970s music. I wish I was able to go live that Era
It's the beat music and looks the most fun for sure
It sure was a great time to be a teenager! Sensational!
It was the best decade
DAMN! WHEN i LISTEN TO THIS... IT FEELS SO MAGICAL..... I WANT TO DANCE UNDER THE MOON
😂😂😂😂😂
Actually I wouldn't have mind dancing under her. She was hot!!
Magic magic magic. Pure joy because she has an exact Venus/Mars conjunction in Leo! This is the energy of happiness in musical expression. Amazing
Y'all put down the cocaine and go take a nap
She scared the crap out of me in 76,and she still does.... LMAO
Why she is great
@@ownSystem rubbish
How ? 🤔😒
WOW. Can’t believe this was released in 1978. I’ve been listening to this since I was a kid born in the mid 90’s
Her voice gives me chills even after all these years.
She super rocks!!!!
Lip sync always kills it for me.
She looks like Wendy O and Billy Idol’s love child 😂but sings like Gloria Gaynor...I love her!🥰 Such a mashup of styles...and this is an amazingly catchy tune. Legend!💗💐
Hello friend, how're you doing?
Actually Alicia Bridges is who Billy Idol actually was before he got his sex change and became a guy.
Que Saudades! Foda cara!!! A época DOURADA das DISCOTECAS... quanta coisa boa, essa música expressa tudo sobre a vida nortuna daquela época!🤩
dancing to this at the BBC disco in Chicago, great memories
I love this song so much! Ehehe up until today. Never gets bored.
My favorite song of all time !!
Can't stand still when this comes on.
Like I'm livin' it !!!
Got my vote : great 1970s song & disco/ r&b song
It's been many years since I first heard it, and it just now came to my mind, so I played the video. And I've never seen Alicia, before. She is now seventy years old. Great song.
those people in the audience had no idea they were watching history in the making!
Fantastic year of 1978!!!I was just a kid then but the 70s was just as awesome...
What made this song so great was the Sax solo by Jay Carrington Scott from a little town called Dothan, Alabama. He was the most talented sax player of all time. He was a "studio musician" when this was recorded. He has gone on to play in the big band in Heaven, but would like to see him remembered. So many musicians never get recognized for their part of truly making a song memorable. Play on Jay!
Reminiscing from South Africa 🇿🇦 Still one of my favorites!
Great song. Ha. 20 years old here. Still discovering cool music. I grew up on 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s music. All the music nowadays has BS thrown into it and it isn’t fun or positive. Love this song!
It makes no difference how old you are
I could watch this all day. The music, the styles, the actions & attitudes of our singers were so different & so much better back then. I'd love to be able to stay the age I am now but go back to those times & stay there!
Hi Rebecca,hope you’re okay !?
Please don't talk about love tonight.... Love it 🎶💜💗
I could play this over and over. It was in Priscilla Queen of the Desert …Fab film x
Uma das canções que vai abrir a minha festa de 61 anos e me fazer voltar aos 16... I Love Alicia!
SI YES OUI
Absolutely love this classic! Makes me smile 😃
I have seen the name of this song spelled differently everytime. Is it "DISCO ROUND" or "DISCO 'ROUND"? I have seen the apostrophe in front of the word 'Round. This matters to me because usually an apostrophe means the word is different, which means the name of the song can mean something else. In the Vinyl album, I have always seen Disco Round without an apostrophe and in the Vinyl as a single it shows Disco 'Round with an apostrophe. What does Disco Round mean and what does Disco 'Round with an apostrophe mean? Thanks.
@@xxMCUmilexx I take it to mean all the discos in town, which one might visit in a single night, a bit like doing a pub crawl.
Me too!
Way back in the 70"s, DISCO, certainly captured the world. Alicia, also, captivated many with her beauty and voice.
I was 6 yrs old when this came out. I loved it then and still love it, thanks to my oldest sister. 🩷
What a voice!!! I love this music.
What an extraordinay and unique voice !
It's growing on me.
Yeah, nice and characterful.
Seriously? Here’s a hint. They did the same thing with Elvis the “king” of rock and rolling my eyes 🙄
What an extraordinay and unique voice !
I noice u didnt say good
*racist
This song never gets old♡♡
What an extraordinay and unique voice !
Ah.....yes still listening! Excellence and Extraordinary! so lucky to have grown up in those days! Love listening, still feeling 20ish..... ps 74! Thankyou for Sharing your Gift!
Beautiful woman, great voice and great song.
BARRY WHITE said, some of the BEST music of ALL TIME. came out of that so call disco era. couldn't agree more with the maestro, Barry White.
This german audience is so lively, so charismatic, so happy and noisy, the noise they make is truly contagious.
Haha😂
They don't know real talent.
I remember that show… Musik Laden! Watched it as a kid all the time
Brilliant!
In their defense,they were on s- tier drugs most likely back in those days.😵💫🫨🤯
What a fabulous performance !
The vouce, the rythm -- Disco was bit.
Too bad we weren't around then.
Alicia sang so perfectly that I don't feel like listening to other people sing this song.
k hermosa época......y k linda canción......dame un like.....quien la sigue escuchando.....en 2022
2024
Want to go where the people DANCE. Great voice and most definitely a top classic.
What a great song. Le Freak came out that year also. I was 19 years old. Fun music.
A brilliant masterpiece for a " One Hit Wonder "
I've been singing and dancing to this song all day around my house.. my husband was laughing at me while watching me "boogie" in the kitchen, while finishing dinner! #bringbackthe70s #sept2022
It's 2023 and it is only today i put à name on the singer of this masterpiece. What memories and chills !
Love this program, watched it every week whilst stationed in Germany. Great memories
She just kills it, thats all.
She "kills" it? 🤔 That's not very nice
One of the best disco songs ever
Uma musica linda, uma cantora bonita,dançante e ...nada,parecia que ela estava se apresentando num cemitério. Nessa época eu tinha 20 aninhos, hoje aos 62 anos, ainda tenho essa musica e ouço regularmente...que saudade,bons tempos..
@@stevegamer6824 Fico feliz em saber, é uma excelente cantora, nesse vídeo o público não correspondia.
Se fosse no Brasil as pessoas estariam pulando , 💃 dançado alegremente....
Esse povo aí perdeu o show....
Queria eu estar lá.....ia me acabar
Nâo é bem assim, o que as pessoas faziam era simplismente ficar admirando a apresentação da artista. Pode ver que eles não tiram os olhos dela.
Música simplesmente incrível,eterna e inesquecível!Alicia foi perfeita, obrigado!👍👍🍺🍺
