The basis of all dance is rhythm.

Rhythm in the hips. Rhythm in the hands and rhythm in the feet.

Disco music is a kind of music that really gets inside your blood

and tells you to express things in everyday life.

# Woah

# Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting

# Those kicks were fast as lightning

# In fact

# It was a little bit frightening

# But they fought with expert timing

# There where funky China men

# From funky Chinatown

# They were chopping them up

# They were chopping them down

# It's an ancient Chinese art

# And everybody knew their part

# From a faint into a slip

# And a kickin' from the hip

# Everybody was Kung Fu fighting

# Those kicks were fast as lightning

# In fact, it was a little bit frightening

# But they fought with expert timing

# There was funky Billie Chin

# And little Sammy Chong

# He said, "Here comes the big boss

# "Let's get it on."

# We took the bow and made a stand

# Started swaying with the hand

# The sudden motion made me skip

# Now we're into a brand new trip

# Everybody was Kung Fu fighting

# Those kicks were fast as lightning

# In fact it was a little bit frightening

# But they did it with expert timing

# Oh oh-oh woah

# Oh oh-oh woah

# Oh oh-oh woah

# Oh oh-oh woah

# Sure enough

# Everybody was Kung Fu fighting

# Those kicks were fast as lightning

# In fact, it was a little bit frightening

# But they did it with expert timing

# Kung Fu fighting

# Hands and feet fast as lightning

# Kung Fu fighting... #

So, disco hitch-hike,

and,

a one-two, a two-two, a three-two, a four-two,

a five-two, and six-two.

# When the music stopped, I returned to my seat

# But there's no stoppin' a duck and his beat

# Quack-quack, quack-quack

# So, I got back up to try my luck

# Quack-quack, quack-quack

KP Disco's have an apostrophe.

This worried Mr Irving because his KP Disco's didn't own anything.

They're just a plural.

He owned them. KP said that if they had left out

the apostrophe, people would have pronounced it dis-cos.

We went to a few dis-cos

to ask young people what they thought of this.

# I can't stand the rain

# Against my window

# Bringing back sweet memories

# I can't stand the rain

# Against my window

# Cos he's not here with me

# Hey, window pane, do you remember

# How sweet it used to be?

# When we were together

# Everything was so grand

# Now that we've parted

# There's one sound that I just can't stand

# I can't stand the rain against my window

# Bringing back sweet memories

# I can't stand the rain

# Alone with the pillow

# Where his head used to lay

# I know you've got

# Some sweet memories

# But, like a window

# You ain't got nothing to say

# I can't, I can't, I can't, can't stand the rain

# I can't, I can't, I can't, can't stand the rain

# I can't, I can't, I can't, can't stand the rain

# I can't, I can't, I can't, can't stand the rain

# Get off of my window, now

# Get off of my window

# Get off of my window, now

# Can't stand the rain

# I can't stand the rain. #

# Ain't no stoppin' us now

# We're on the move

# Ain't no stoppin' us now

# We've got the groove, listen

# There've been so many things

# That's held us down

# But now it looks like things

# Are finally comin' around

# I know we've got a long, long way to go

# And where we'll end up

# I don't know

# But we won't let nothing hold us back

# We gonna get ourselves together

# Polish up our act, yeah

# And if you've ever been held down before

# I know that you refuse to be held down any more

# Don't you let nothing, nothing

# Stand in your way

# I want you to listen, listen

# To every word I say, every word I say

# Ain't no stoppin' us now, no, no, no

# We're on the move

# Huh, good god

# Ain't no stoppin' us now

# We've got the groove

# Ain't no stoppin' us now

# We're on the move

# I know, I know

# Ain't no stoppin' us now

# We've got the groove

# We've got it, yes, we do

# I know you know someone

# That has a negative vibe

# Whenever you try and make it

# They only push you aside

# They really don't have

# Nowhere to go

# Cos, if you asked where they're going

# They don't know

# But we won't let nothing hold us back

# We gonna get ourselves together

# Polish up our act, yeah

# And if you've ever been held down before

# I know that you refuse to be held down any more, listen, y'all

# Don't you let nothing, nothing

# Stand in your way

# I want you to listen, listen

# To every word I say

# Ain't no stoppin' us now, no, no, no

# We're on the move

# Oh, we're moving, grooving

# Ain't no stoppin' us now

# We've got the groove

# Movin', movin', movin', movin'

# Ain't no stoppin' us now

# We're on the move

# I know

# Ain't no stoppin' us now

# We've got the groove. #

Incidentally, if that is as just half as difficult as it looks,

it's terrifying.

I can't even stand up on those things.

Oh, no, it looks harder than it really is.

It's really a lot of fun, a lot of energy.

My body's in perfect shape because I skate.

# We are family

I quit work,

and we've become as damn near self-sufficient as possible.

We've got bags of garden. We grow our own food.

We keep some animals. Chickens, a pig.

We produce our own energy.

Recycle rubbish. We design the things we need.

It'll be just us.

Doing it for us.

What do you think?

# At first, I was afraid, I was petrified

# Kept thinking, I could never live without you by my side

# But then I spent so many nights thinking, how you did me wrong

# And I grew strong and I learned how to get along

# And so you're back from outer space

# I just walked in to find you here

# With that sad look upon your face

# I should have changed

# That stupid lock

# I should have made you

# Leave your key

# If I'd known for just one second you'd be back to bother me

# Go on now, go, walk out the door

# Just turn around now

# Cos you're not welcome anymore

# Weren't you the one, who tried to hurt me with goodbye?

# Did you think I'd crumble?

# Did you think I'd lay down and die?

# Oh, no, not I, I will survive

# Oh, as long as I know how to love

# I know I'll stay alive

# I've got all my life to live

# I've got all my love to give

# And I'll survive, I will survive, hey, hey

# It took all the strength I had not to fall apart

# Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart

# And I spent, oh, so many nights

# Just feeling sorry for myself

# I used to cry

# But now I hold my head up high

# And you see me, somebody new

# I'm not that chained up little

# Person still in love with you

# And so you felt like dropping in

# And just expect me to be free

# But now I'm saving all my loving

# For someone who's loving me

# Go on now, go, walk out the door

# Just turn around now

# Cos you're not welcome anymore

# Weren't you the one, who tried to break me with goodbye

# Did you think I'd crumble?

# Did you think I'd lay down and die?

# Oh, no, not I, I will survive

# Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive

# I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give

# And I'll survive, I will survive, oh

# Go on now, go, walk out the door

# Just turn around now

# Cos you're not welcome anymore

# Weren't you the one, who tried to break me with goodbye?

# Did you think I'd crumble?

# Did you think I'd lay down and die?

# Oh, no, not I, I will survive

# Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive

# I've got all my life to live... #

Royal Albert Hall tonight.

-Discotheque?

-What?

Queen Elizabeth Hall, Wigmore hall. Royal Festival Hall.

They're all discotheques.

What about Glyndebourne. Disco. With Emperor Rosko?

There's no live music on anywhere. What is happening?

# Hee-hee-hee

# Whoop

# My baby's always dancin' And it wouldn't be a bad thing

# But I don't get no loving

# And that's no lie

# We spent the night in Frisco

# At every kind of disco

# From that night I kissed

# Our love goodbye

# Don't blame it on the sunshine

# Don't blame it on the moonlight

# Don't blame it on the good times

# Blame it on the boogie

# Don't blame it on the sunshine

# Don't blame it on the moonlight

# Don't blame it on the good times

# Blame it on the boogie

# The devil's gotten to me

# Through his dance

# I'm full of funky fever

# And fire burns inside me

# Boogie's got me in a super trance

# Don't...sunshine

You know what?

# I just can't control my feet

# I just can't control my feet

# Cos my feet

# They just keep on moving

# I just can't control my feet

# I just can't control my feet

# My feet, they just...

# Keep on moving

# Keep on moving

# I just can't control my feet

# Cos my feet, they just keep on. # Thank you!

# Don't blame it on, oh! #

We love you, London!
