About the song
Let’s transport ourselves back to the electrifying era of disco, where the dance floor was ablaze with pulsating lights and infectious rhythms. Today, I’m thrilled to introduce you to a timeless anthem that defined the disco era and continues to ignite dance floors around the world. The song I’m referring to is “Disco Inferno” by The Trammps.
“Disco Inferno” is a fiery and exhilarating track that captures the essence of the disco phenomenon with its pulsating beat and spirited vocals. It was written by Leroy Green and Ron Kersey and released in 1976 as part of The Trammps’ album of the same name. The song quickly ascended the charts, peaking at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning widespread acclaim for its infectious energy and irresistible groove.
The Trammps, with their dynamic stage presence and soulful vocals, were at the forefront of the disco movement in the 1970s. “Disco Inferno” became one of their signature songs, propelling them to international stardom and solidifying their status as icons of the genre.
The song’s popularity was further boosted by its inclusion in the iconic soundtrack of the film “Saturday Night Fever,” which starred John Travolta and helped to catapult disco music into the mainstream. Its infectious chorus and catchy hooks made it an instant classic, and it remains a favorite at parties, weddings, and dance clubs to this day.
So, whether you’re reliving the glory days of disco or discovering the magic of The Trammps for the first time, “Disco Inferno” is sure to set your soul on fire and keep you grooving all night long.

Lyrics
To my surprise, one hundred stories high
People getting loose y’all, getting down on the roof
Folks are screaming, out of control
It was so entertaining when the boogie started to explode
I heard somebody say
disco inferno
(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down
(Burn baby burn) disco inferno
(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down
Satisfaction came in a chain reaction
(Burnin’)
I couldn’t get enough, so I had to self-destruct
The heat was on, rising to the top
Everybody going strong, and that is when my spark got hot
I heard somebody say
disco inferno
(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down y’all
(Burn baby burn) disco inferno
(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down
Up above my head
I hear music in the air
That makes me know
There’s a party somewhere
Satisfaction came in a chain reaction
(Burnin’)
I couldn’t get enough, so I had to self-destruct
The heat was on, rising to the top
Everybody going strong, and that is when my spark got hot
I heard somebody say
disco inferno
(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down
(Burn baby burn) disco inferno
(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down
burn that mother down
(Burn baby burn) disco inferno
(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down
when my spark gets hot
(Just can’t stop) when my spark gets hot
when my spark gets hot
(Just can’t stop) when my spark gets hot
(Just can’t stop) when my spark gets hot
When my spark gets hot
when my spark gets hot
(Just can’t stop) when my spark gets hot
(Just can’t stop) when my spark gets hot
(Just can’t stop) when my spark gets hot
(Just can’t stop) when my spark gets hot
(Just can’t stop) when my spark gets hot
(Just can’t stop) when my spark gets hot
(Just can’t stop) when my spark gets hot
(Just can’t stop) when my spark gets hot
(Just can’t stop) when my spark gets hot
disco inferno
(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down
(Burn baby burn) disco inferno
(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down
(Burn baby burn)
(Burn baby burn) burn that mother down
(Burn baby burn) disco inferno
