Bifta already mentioned number 2 and I purposely decided against YMCA because although the Village People are camp enough, that song has been done to death.....

Wasn't intended as a cheat, I have the album and I think its a brill compilation of the era.

There's some painfully funky stuff on an album called Tuff Dude by Buddy Rich (1974). I have one in particular in my head but I can't remember what the track's called. It's instrumental so I can't give you a line.

The album is apparently unavailable but I guess you DJ types have extensive archives

[zendawn]

Anything by Earth, Wind and Fire.

Not sure when this was released, may just be 80's but it's a great floor cleaner ( yes that's cleaner, not clearer)

Oops upside your head...The Gap Band.
