Lyrics |

|
A man with a tattoo
Made me a rendez-vous
He met Lolita in a bar in Soho
The glitter on her lips
The way she moved her hips
Dancing to the beat of the stereo
She's so disco
He said : "You're gonna be my queen
Come on, shake my tambourine
You'll be the superstar of my floor show"
They drank a lot and jived
Ran away from the lights
Rushing at the doors of the Glass Bowl
She's so disco
She's so disco
She's so disco
She's soooooo disco
He took her for a ride
Kiss me, hold me tight
Don't resist, pump up the volume of the radio
It was the dead of night
Not a single soul in sight
Lolita yields to the killer gigolo
She's so disco
A man with a tattoo
Made me a rendez-vous
He met Madonna in a bar in Soho
The glitter on her lips
The way she moved her hips
Dancing to the beat of the stereo
She's so disco
She's so disco
She's so disco
She's soooooo disco

Notes |
|
|
She's so Disco is the first single from Welcome...
and it had an heavy rotation on the European rock radio
stations at the end of 1999/beginning of 2000.
Amongst those radio stations, Ouï FM from Paris strongly
supported Venus and received them for a mini-concert during
which they played a slower version of She's so Disco, the
same one they would play at the end of their concerts during
the tours. This is the version recorded on the Pop Song
EP.
She's so Disco, and its catchy and frivolous melody,
is somewhat different from the "average" Venus
song (if such a thing exists in the first place). This is
deliberate. Regarding the lyrics, here's what Marc Huyghens
once said : "Thomas got the idea of a disco song. We've
thought it was fun and we've explored the vocabulary of
the genre : words like hot, stereo, radio, brothers and
sisters... And there has to be a lot of sex. Eventually,
the text is quite unhealthy : a serial killer who murders
well-dancing girls. We kinda freaked out."
