I've got a School Disco CD at home. One of songs on it is the Jim'll Fix It theme! (Seriously)

It was released pre-Yewtree!

There and to the left a bit

Putting aside the slow dances at the end of the disco...(the ones where I'd spend forever summoning up the courage to ask someone to dance and either the record would end just as I did or they'd say no

)..

..the ones guaranteed to get me and my mates on the dancefloor were the Two Tone/punk/new wave ones that the DJ would be badgered to play by all the lads (as an antidote to the disco anthems usually being played)

Particular ones that stick in the memory:

Into The Valley - The Skids

Too Much Too Young - The Specials

One Step Beyond and The Prince - Madness

Eton Rifles - The Jam

It was probably just before 'The Time Warp' - it's just a jump to the left and then something else.

My memory is shit, in this instance I'm quite grateful.

I hated school discos, I was the geeky one off The In between er doing skids across the school hall

Band of gold - Freda Payne.

No idea why DJ's in the 80s insisted on this at every disco. Not keen on the song but it was a staple at every one I went to!

Limbo

This'll age me

but I get a Pavlovian reaction of extreme nausea when I hear Three Times a Lady by the Commodores because it was playing when I was literally dragged across the dance floor by so called friends and forcibly shoved in the direction of the most revolting boy in my class. Totally mortifying when you're 13 and utterly petrified of boys ...

"This'll age me

It's funny you should mention the Pavlovian reaction because I get this weird feeling whenever I hear Superman by Black Lace. That riff that runs through the song sort of freaks me out when I hear it. It takes me back to this weird place which I don't particularly like...right, I'm off to ring my psychiatrist.
