This is an American band that's most notable for their Disco music. There are too many past and present members to list, and they've had a couple iterations of the group over the years. They started out as a rock band called The Boys, then expanded into the Big Apple Band before changing their name to Chic. They were inspired by glam rock, wanting to create a seamless whole, and recruited more people into the group. Their debut album came out in 1977. After a member shuffle, the next album came out in 1978 which is where this song is from. Fun fact: the chorus was changed because of the studio, so the "aaa, freak out" part was supposed to say fuck off. It became one of the songs that skyrocketed their career. The end of the 70's brought an end to disco, and after struggling to remain relevant the group disbanded in the 80's. They briefly got back together in the 90's to do touring for a few years, but their real come back came in the 2000's when they released new music. Since 2010 they've been playing festival, releasing autobiographies, compilation albums, and basically taking advantage of the nostalgia for their music genre. They've been teasing a new album for the last couple years, and it's set to release this year, but we'll have to see.
This one is a song that you need to be in a specific mood to listen to. There are a lot like that in my opinion. Anna went with First Days of Spring by Noah and the Whale, my mom chose Born This Way by Lady Gaga, and my grandma said It's My Party by Leslie Gore. Sammy said Against All Odds by Phil Collins, and Will picked Low Man's Lyrics by Metallica.
Peace.
