Disco may have enjoyed its heyday in the 1970s, but that doesn't mean it is gone forever! Raise disco from the dead with a disco-themed disco party. Get you friends to throw on the shiniest or most polyester clothes they have, a pair of platform shoes (the ones with the fish in the heel—you know the ones!), and tease out their hair to look in the spirit. To make the party complete, you will need a disco ball suspended from the ceiling to reflect onto the dance floor.

Oh, and there is also that little matter of assembling that most important part of any disco dance party—the music! Follow these suggestions to create a disco dance party playlist that even the most seasoned Studio 54 veteran would be bustin' a move for.

As a general rule, look for disco lyrics that include words like "shake" or "booty." Luckily, this first suggestion includes both! KC and the Sunshine Band's smash hit "(Shake, shake, shake) Shake Your Booty" is sure to lure your friends onto the dance floor by the lapels of their leisure suits. The band also brought you such disco standards as "That's the Way (I Like It)" and "I'm Your Boogie Man" which would be perfect for any disco playlist.

Bands like the Bee Gees, the Jackson 5, Donna Summer, and Gloria Gaynor had a wealth of disco hits that are sure to get the party going. Don't forget Cheryl Lyn's "Got to Be Real" and Barry White's "Love Theme."

Don't be afraid to take a look at disco or 1970s song compilations at your local record store. They will typically feature the classic disco hits that will have all the booties shakin' at your next party.
