UG -- but, if was unmusical, would people be able to dance to it?

The first classical composition which called for a cymbal and a bass drum to be struck simultaneously was said to be:

"not fit for monkeys to dance to"

Well, in the late Seventies, they danced to disco. I'd been hearing of disco. Then I heard some disco -- I think the song's title was "Fly Robin Fly."

Oh dear. Or more exactly, "Bloody 'ell!" Idiotic. To this day, I'm antipathetic to unbroken, mechanical-sounding 4/4, 120 beats/minute.

From that day to this, I do not hang out with disco listeners, as I dislike to be surrounded by idiots. I prefer idiots aligned along a relatively small number of relative bearings -- the firing solution is simpler.
