Disco Mickey Mouse!
Ahhh, the memories. Quite possibly the edgiest record I ever owned as a kid. Rock music wasn’t allowed in our house because it was all satanic. Televangelists were really into playing records backwards at the time to prove it back then. Even our own church’s pastor had a lot to say about the evils of rock music and my parents believed every bit of it. I remember my older brother getting a huge lecture when they caught him listening to K-SHE 95. I think we got a joint lecture when they happened to come into the living room and heard the song Reproduction when I was watching Grease 2.
My neighbor Sarah used to let me copy some of her music onto tapes, which I kept a secret. When she got me into Weird Al around 12 or 13, they didn’t seem to mind that at all. Maybe they didn’t realize he did more than polka. I won’t even get into all the “Christian rock” we listened to back then, which was acceptable. Around 14 is when they both seemed to be working all the time and I got enough privacy to start listening to whatever I wanted, including the then-amazing MTV.

She does. I have another one that I think Bruce got at an auction (He also had a copy as a kid). I loved that record!
Weird, I don’t remember you guys having that record. Guess it was really popular at the time. Not that we spent a lot of time listening to records since we were too busy out being awesome.
that record was really popular. i owned it too. my mom threw away my prince tapes because he “talks about sex too much.” i don’t think i’d have noticed he was talking about sex if she hadn’t brought it to my attention.
I never realized it was so popular. I thought it was just some weird thing my parents bought me. I doubt I asked for it since I was never much of a Disney fan.
well, i’m going out on a limb to show you that we were even weirder because we DIDN’T own a copy of mickey mouse disco.
I had that album. And Chipmunk punk, the Chimpmunks covering modern music including a song you may be interested in playing in the next Phone Show:
