Mindless boogie - Hot Chocolate

The album 'Going through the motions' was released in 1979. It was a departure for Hot Chocolate in that it found the band making a conscious effort to appeal to Euro-disco audiences. The band's previous albums might have had the occasional Euro-disco track, but this time, the style is dominant.

The single 'Mindless boogie' was taken from the album, and besides being a very danceable track it also featured a rather ironic lyric. Back in the late Seventies, the death-to-disco crowd frequently described disco as 'mindless boogie' - and it wasn't a compliment. The single reached number 46 in the UK singles chart.
