WATCH: Singaporean holds his own on the dance floor in the World Disco Finals of 1979

Look, we get it. It’s a cool Friday afternoon and you just want to get this work day over with so the weekend can begin. But there are just too many things on your mind — deadlines to meet, mindless meetings to attend, clients to appease, emails to reply (“pls revert ASAP tq”). 

Back in the ’70s, every day was a Friday (hyperbole). People had real things to worry about, like the girth of bell bottoms and whether the police would catch you for having long hair. Wouldn’t it be nice if you somehow had a video clip showcasing the carefree spirit of those wonder years at hand? 

Here you go, some resurfaced footage from the World Disco Finals of ’79. Keep a look out for contestant number 23.
