The Avalanches Lyrics
Here we come, we got funk, [Repeat: x2]
Somebody, somewhere, sex with me,
Here, here we come, we got funk [Repeat: x2]
Next to me [Repeat: x6]
The disco, the disco, the disco, that's gotta be right, [Repeat: x4]
That's gotta be right, down to the midnight, to start
Down to the disco, the disco, the disco,
Down to the midnight, the start to the midnight, start to the midnight,
There's a tense young man that's goin' round, turnin' the joint, outside down, [Repeat: x2]
Down to the disco
Start to the midnight, down to the disco
Down to the disco

There have been at least two bands named The Avalanches:
1. An Australian electronic music collective
2. A defunct American surf rock group
NOTE: The former band actually got their name from the latter, as The Avalanches' " Ski Surfin''" album was known to be their favorite album.
1. The Avalanches are an electronic music collective from Melbourne, Australia. They are well known for their use of eclectic sampling, having created their debut album Read Full BioThere have been at least two bands named The Avalanches:

1. The Avalanches are an electronic music collective from Melbourne, Australia. They are well known for their use of eclectic sampling, having created their debut album, Since I Left You (2000), entirely out of over 3,500 samples of obscure records, movies, and television shows. This is famously demonstrated on their hit single "Frontier Psychiatrist".
Before this, they were a hip-hop group with the single album Rock City and the EPy El Producto. After a 16 year hiatus, they released their sophomore album Wildflower (2016), which was followed by We Will Always Love You (2020).
2. The Avalanches was an instrumental surf rock studio group, active in the 1960s, which included Billy Strange, Tommy Tedesco, David Gates (later of Bread) and Hal Blaine. In 1963 they recorded an LP Ski Surfin', which was re-released in 2007.

The Avalanches and The Wiseguys had this amazing ability to sample and loop different beats and melodies to create something extraordinary.

Add the flute, remove the flute...then bring the flute back at just the right time and it does something magical. Album is astonishing.

You know what I think when I listen to that?
I think of Félix Leiter in James Bond when he sat at the bar. Don't know why?
