OK, I had wanted to post the 12 Inch but since that didn't work, here's the single....

Thanks. That 12 Inch version is much better than the single version. I'm wondering what movie that dancing clip is from.

Spirit of ´76

vain, you, Spyz and myself were just talking about Leif on the Teena/Rick/P thread. Yeah, Leif was popular as hell through 76-80. It wasn't a girl that I knew that didn't like this cat. He ruled being on all of the covers of the teen magazines. This song reminds me of that Chips episode where they were roller skating and Leif was on there singing this song.

You know, there was time between 78 and 79 that 16 Magazine and Teen Beat used to put both Leif and Paul Stanley from KISS pics side by side on all of their covers. I always thought that when KISS released their disco rock song "I Was Made For Loving You" in 79, it was in relation to Leif's "I Was Made For Dancing" released in 78. I think KISS, besides trying to get some of that disco money, was also trying to capitalize on some of the teen crowd Leif had since Leif and Paul were always on the covers together for a specific time. The two titles are inter-changeable and both are disco oriented tracks. I always related the two songs together.

Leif said at the time he was recording the song he wanted to do some serious rock music (in fact he often did rock covers at his concerts), but his label wouldn't allow him to do that.

I don't remember the "CHIPs" episode but I do remember the "Wonder Woman" episode.

He needed to shut up and do some more disco.

Is that a disco movie? I'm gonna have to check that one out.
