D.I.S.C.O. is a disco song by the French band Ottawan, written by Daniel Vangarde and Jean Kluger. It was originally recorded by Ottawan in French. It was first recorded in 1979 and reached number 2 in the UK singles chart the following year. As well as being a karaoke favourite, it has since been released by other artists on two occasions - by N-Trance in 1997 (reaching number 11) and by Chico Slimani in 2006 (reaching number 24). It has also been recorded by comedian Ted Chippington, whose version of the song was first played by John Peel. The song's name comes from the lyrics in its chorus, in which a woman is claimed to be 'DISCO', with each letter of the word standing for a certain quality ("she is 'D', delirious; she is 'I', incredible" etc.) It was featured in the UK drama series Queer As Folk, in which it was read in very serious style at a character's funeral, on the dead man's request, by a friend of his.
