Euro disco
Euro disco (or Eurodisco) is the variety of European forms of electronic dance music that evolved from disco in the 1970s; incorporating elements of pop, new wave and rock into a disco-like continuous dance atmosphere. Many Euro disco compositions feature lyrics sung in English, although the singers often share a different mother tongue.
Euro disco derivatives generally include Europop and Eurodance, with the most prominent subgenres being space disco of the late 1970s and Italo disco of the early 1980s. The genre has declined in popularity after 1985 in preference to electronic rock and Hi-NRG, with a small revival of Italo disco in the late 1990s.
History
Euro disco is largely an offshoot of contemporary American music trends going far back to the early times of jazz, rock, soul, funk and disco. In the 1950s and 1960s, besides the heavy American influence, the French/Italian-created pop music offshoots with a dance-oriented sound, became prevalent in Europe. 1950s and 1960s Europop hits spread around France, Italy and Germany, because of the French Scopitone and the Italian Cinebox/Coilorama Video-jukebox machines. Another root is the Eurovision song contest, especially in the 1970s.

by: BisThe party's at it's end
A style is named and it's dead
There is no latest trend
I eat just what I'm fed
Pump it up, pump it up
Pump it up bah bad up
To the top, to the top
To the top dah dah dop
The party's at it's end
A style is named and it's dead
There is no latest trend
If it's a new beginning
Then I don't want to know
If it's not worth pretending
Then I don't want to know
I'm just so sick of listening
What should I want to know
I lost my 15 minutes
On Eurodisco
The musics in my head
I thought music was dead
Give me the words I'll sing
But I can't feel a thing

Pump it up, pump it up, bah bad up
Just don't stop, just don't stop
Just don't stop, stop dah dah dop
The party's at it's end
A style is named it's dead
There is no latest trend
If it's a new beginning
Then I don't want to know
If it's not worth pretending
Then I don't want to know
I'm just so sick of listening
What should I want to know
I lost my 15 minutes

If it's not worth pretending
Then I don't want to know
I'm just so sick of listening
What should I want to know
I lost my 15 minutes
