D.I.S.C.O.
"D.I.S.C.O." is a song by the French band Ottawan, written and produced by Daniel Vangarde and Jean Kluger. It was originally recorded by Ottawan in French.[2]
It was first released in 1979 and reached number two in the UK Singles Chart the following year.
The song's name comes from the lyrics in its chorus, in which a woman is claimed to be 'DISCO', with each letter of the word standing for a certain quality, except O which simply leads to singing 'oh-oh-oh' ("She is D, delirious / She is I, incredible / She is S, superficial / She is C, complicated / She is oh-oh-oh").
