Dramatic proof that Luke and Leia were brother and sister: Donny & Marie played them on TV...
And the (real) hit disco version of the STAR WARS theme...
I have danced to that in real life! It seemed like *every* movie ended up with a hit disco version in the late 70s. Here's CLOSE ENCOUNTERS...
I never danced to that... never danced to STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE disco version, either...
And, of course, SUPERMAN...
All of these seemed to come from one guy - Meco Monardo - who managed to do a disco version of every movie theme at the time, and when I was searching for these on YouTube, seems to still be around and having fun doing disco versions of PHANTOM MENACE and other flicks. The STAR WARS disco version was a #1 hit and both the single and album went platinum. Before STAR WARS, he was a pretty big musician and producer of disco albums for stars like Gloria Gaynor. His favorite of all of his disco versions was THE WIZARD OF OZ.
