Ideas for camp 70's music

[Russ]

On the show we're going to be doing a camp 1970s disco theme and I was looking for suggestions - already I've got the BeeGees "Staying Alive", the Village People's "Macho Man", "You Sexy Thing" by Hot Chocolate and "Heaven must be missing an angel" from the Tavares - any other suggestions?

Le Freak - Chic
Funky Town (whoever the original was by)
I will survive - Gloria Gaynor
We are family - Sister Sledge

That's The Way (I Like It) - KC and the Sunshine Band

Just had another 2 ideas, "I feel Love" by Donna Summer and D.I.S.C.O. by...erm...whoever sang it.

This is the kind of thing I'm after, hi-energy camp 70s disco stuff

Anything by Slade, Gary Glitter or The Sweet.

Billy Don't be a Hero - Paper Lace.

And if you're really into the sickly treacly stuff, anything by Donny and Marie Osmond.
