  • Randy from Fayettevile, ArWhat memories? My girlfriend & now wife, Seedy Sandy, had the album "Bad Girls" and we used to wonder about "the West Coast Scene" that our minds envisioned courtesy of these lyrics. Neither of us made it out to L.A.,but we loved the disco scene in the metro Kansas City area where we were living at the time. Sandy became a huge Donna Summer fan when this album was big on the charts too. Not too many people we know still remembers this song though. Now, in 2014, neither of us can disco any more. LOL! Sandy is pushing 488 lbs. and too big to boogie with me. But we have those good memories back when we could disco and were skinny as a reed.
  • Bill from Pensacola, Fllittle used but great skate song. roll on.
