"Dude, I'm telling you there's a girl standing right there and you have not danced all night, go and ask her to dance." Is what I told my friend "Cyclone". It was about an hour away to closing time and cyclone being the shyest guy in our group did not ask her to dance. The song ended and one of my all time favorite disco songs started playing.
Well fool your loss, I will ask her.
Love Disco Style

Love Disco Style
Oh, Baby You Know
You Know I Love You
But I Wanna Know
I Wanna Know
If You Love Me Too
And Take Me Into Your Paradise
Of Love, Baby Tonight...
That my friends is how one Joe Cool met his chica. Dancing to the Erotic Drum Band's Love Disco Style at the Copacabana in El Sereno, California some 31 years ago. Not only did we dance that song but we danced the next, and the next and then the next until it was closing time.
"Here's my number in case you would like to call me", I kept hearing from my friends that when they asked girls for their phone number they gave them fake ones. So, I figured if she wants to she will call.
Next day, my friends are all in my room talking about the night before. Well, I said I did meet this girl last night, but truthfully I can't remember is she was pretty or ugly or so so. I did however gave her my number but I doubt she'll call. My friend "Fish" immediately said, "She was pretty guey" (guey = fool). "You think?" I said, "Dude, trust me, she was" said fish.
Ring, ring, ring, ring, --
Me: Hello
Her: Hi
Me: Is this who I think this is?
Her: Well, I don't know... I hope so.
(Everybody out, go home, I'll talk to you all tomorrow.)
Me: I am glad you called.
Her: Me too.
Tell me how many people are as lucky as I was to find such treasure and of all places at the disco.
At the Copa (CO) Copacabana
Music and passion were always in fashion
At the Copa... We fell in love.
For the next couple of years the Copa was our place and ours was a love, a Love Disco Style. OK, eventually we threw Salsa in the mix, but that would be another story. During our 31 years together we never stopped dancing.
I just thought you all would like to know how we met.
