Aw the 70's, mirror balls and flashing lights in hypnotic patterns and blasting music with lyrics rich in lust and crowded dance floors with bodies writhing suggestively. Oops, sorry you are too young to have known disco of the 70's.

It speaks to how mixed the feelings are at this particular setting - I know the dance floor and all the firey and wild smitten mania and sensuous sex of it - mixed with outrage and disgust of how cheap and shallow it all can be. So well conveyed in so few words.
