Overall Meaning

"That's The Way" by KC and The Sunshine Band is a classic disco song that was released in 1975. The song is an upbeat and repetitive tune that encourages listeners to dance and enjoy themselves. The lyrics primarily focus on the singer's love and desire for his partner. He loves the way she touches him, whispers sweet nothings in his ear, and turns him on. The repetition of the chorus "That's the way, uh-huh uh-huh, I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh" emphasizes the simple beauty of his love for her. This song is a prime example of the carefree and dance-oriented spirit of disco music that was popular in the 70s.


The simplistic but catchy melody was created by Harry Casey and Richard Finch, two members of KC and The Sunshine Band. The song quickly became a hit after its release, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1975. It also became a major hit in other countries, such as the UK, Canada, and Australia. The song was used in various films and TV shows, such as the 1997 film "Boogie Nights" and the 2006 animated film "Happy Feet." It has also appeared in many commercials over the years. The popularity of the song has led to it being a staple of many wedding receptions and disco-themed events.

Let's be honest here. 70s, 80s, and 90s music are all impossible to beat. Yeah, they weren't perfect, but bops like these made those eras shine.

@SirDumbassXXXIV

@Cristos Raptis Like Daft Punk's HBFS

@staceygrove5976

Not so sure about the 1990s, and I think the 80s had run out of steam by the middle of the decade. 60s and 70s though - tops!

@MrCrashBandicoot25

70s were perfect
