This day in music history.

July 12, 1979, Radio talk show hosts Steve Dahl and Garry Meier conduct a wacky DJ stunt by blowing up a pile of disco records between a baseball double header at Chicago's Comiskey Park. Things get out of hand when people in the stands start throwing disco records onto the field, the tip of Garry Meir's nose was cut off by a Rod Stewert album and several people are decapitated forcing the cancellation of the second game. They called the stunt "Disco Demolition" and it signaled the end of the disco craze.
Night Fever by The Bee Gees
Listen to the ground:there is movement all around.
There is something goin' down
and I can feel it.
On the waves of the air,
there is dancin' out there.
If it's somethin' we can share,
we can steal it.
And that sweet city woman,
she moves through the light,
controlling my mind and my soul.
When you reach out for me
yeah, and the feelin' is bright,
then I get night fever, night fever.
We know how to do it.
Gimme that night fever, night fever.
We know how to show it.
Here I am,
prayin' for this moment to last,
livin' on the music so fine,
borne on the wind,
makin' it mine.
Night fever, night fever.
We know how to do it.
Gimme that night fever, night fever.
We know how to show it.
In the heat of our love,
don't need no help for us to make it.
Gimme just enough to take us to the mornin'.
I got fire in my mind.
I got higher in my walkin'.
And I'm glowin' in the dark;
I give you warnin'.
And that sweet city woman,
she moves through the light,
controlling my mind and my soul.
When you reach out for me
yeah, and the feelin' is bright,
then I get night fever, night fever.
We know how to do it.
Gimme that night fever, night fever
We know how to show it.
Here I am,prayin' for this moment to last,
livin' on the music so fine,
borne on the wind,
makin' it mine.
Night fever, night fever.
We know how to do it.
Gimme that night fever, night fever.
We know how to show it
