I Can't Believe This Beat "Running On Empty"


Coming in at 489 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest songs of all time, Gloria Gaynor permanently secured a place in pop music history with her recording of "I Will Survive".

But let's not get carried away with our adulation, okay? I mean seriously.

It is still just a disco song.



Sure, it's been remixed and re-recorded and turned into an anthem for everything from female empowerment to France's soccer team.

But it's still just a disco song.

It was named the second greatest disco song of all time, but that's kind of like being awarded a trophy for most malodorous fungus.

And you can tell Gloria I said so! (It won't bother her. She'll live.)
