This is (surprise/no surprise) a really good disco album! Speaking as a guy who had the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack gifted to him at age six, and then Sesame Street Fever shortly thereafter, this one didn't have much of a shelf-life, not when I was already playing Ralph MacDonald's "Calypso Breakdown" every morning before walking four blocks to first grade. But while I imprinted on my musical parents SNF, and Gloria Gaynor's I Have a Right, and ABBA's Super Trouper, setting me up to be a lifelong dance head, this Sesame Street album just re-establishes what everyone who lived through the era knows: that disco is just damned happy (which is why "Doin' the Pigeon" is going to be in your next mix). I'm going to say without fear of contradiction that Larry Levan absolutely spun "Rubber Ducky" at the Paradise Garage. And as everyone at WFMU already knows, Barry Gibb's "Trash" is a great song about why we DJs do what we do. Boogie boogie boogie!
