"Death Disco" is a song by Public Image Ltd. The record was released in both 7" and 12" single formats with a "1/2 mix" of the song and "Megga mix" (an instrumental re-recording of "Fodderstompf" from ''First Issue'') on the 12" version. It reached number twenty on the UK Singles Chart. The song was released in an alternate version as "Swan Lake" on the group's second album, ''Metal Box'', with slight changes at the end. The title change reflects the quote from Tchaikovsky's score that surfaces in Keith Levene's guitar part. In his autobiography, ''Rotten: No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs'', Lydon stated that the song was written for his mother, who had died of cancer not long before. "I watched her die," he told ''Select'' in 1990. "She was tough, my mum. She asked me to write a disco song for her funeral. This was hardly happy stuff."〔''Select'', December 1990〕 According to AllMusic, "the song is built on a dense groove informed equally by dub and disco" and features both "Lydon at his most desperate and stark" and Keith Levene "dishing out shards of guitar that complement the rhythm one moment and then shift into horrific riffing the next."〔(AllMusic )〕 "Death Disco" was also included on the 1983 album ''Live in Tokyo''. ==Track listing== ;7" vinyl #"Death Disco" – 4:11 #"No Birds Do Sing" – 4:37 ;12" vinyl #"½ Mix" - 6:42 #"Megga Mix" - 6:51 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Death Disco」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
