The stunt happened between games of a Chicago White Sox vs. Detroit Tigers doubleheader. Disco Demolition Night, as it was dubbed, was a performative rebellion against disco. Instead, the desperate MLB promotion ended in a riot. The White Sox forfeited the second game. And judging by decades of dance hits, disco survived the explosive revolt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So here are three modern pop hits that prove disco is nowhere near dead. I even included a psychedelic rock act that, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/facts\/kiss\/i-was-made-for-lovin-you\">like KISS<\/a>, recorded a smash atop a disco beat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cHoudini\u201d by Dua Lipa<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dua Lipa - Houdini (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/suAR1PYFNYA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dua Lipa collaborated with producers Danny L. Harle and Tame Impala\u2019s Kevin Parker on a cheeky, upbeat hit about vanishing from a situation when it no longer feels right. It\u2019s a party song, a celebration of being single, and the disappearing act that follows a fling. It appears on Lipa\u2019s third studio album, <em>Radical Optimism<\/em>. And judging by how it climbed the charts in several countries, global discotheques aren\u2019t going empty anytime soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cDracula\u201d by Tame Impala<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tame Impala - Dracula (Official Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xnP7qKxwzjg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking of Tame Impala, here Parker describes the superpower he feels at night. Propelled by a disco beat, \u201cDracula\u201d is an escapist banger driven by the insecurities often exposed in the light of day. Parker swaggers like \u201c<em>f***in\u2019 Pablo Escobar<\/em>\u201d until his friends urge him to \u201c<em>shut up<\/em>\u201d and get in the car. He sings about a girl he\u2019s smitten with but fears the romantic mood will end with the sunrise. The vampire thrives at night, so until then, he must return to the shadows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cSay So\u201d by Doja Cat feat.

The narrator gazes across the room at someone who\u2019s equally love-struck but remains too nervous to approach her. There are plenty of primal vibes here to cure this boy of shyness. \u201c<em>Boy, you should have said so<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Photo by Dave Simpson\/Getty Images<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Disco&#8217;s popularity in the 1970s received considerable backlash.
