Disco Inferno
Tramps Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Burnin'!
To mass fires, yes! One hundred stories high
People gettin' loose y'all gettin' down on the roof Do you hear?
(The folks are flaming) Folks were screamin' out of control
It was so entertainin' when the boogie started to explode
I heard somebody say
Burn baby burn! Disco inferno!
Burn baby burn! Burn that mama down
Burn baby burn! Disco inferno!
Burn baby burn! Burn that mama down
Burnin'!
Satisfaction (uhu hu hu) came in the chain reaction
(Burnin') I couldn't get enough, (till I had to self-destroy) so I had to
self destruct, (uhu hu hu)
The heat was on (burnin'), rising to the top, huh!
Everybody's goin' strong (uhu hu hu)
And that is when my spark got hot
I heard somebody say
Burn baby burn! Disco inferno!
Burn baby burn! Burn that mama down, yoh!
Burn baby burn! Disco inferno!
Burn baby burn! Burn that mama down
Burnin'!
Up above my head I hear music in the air I hear music!
That makes me know there's (somebody) a party somewhere
Satisfaction came in a chain reaction Do you hear?
I couldn't get enough, so I had to self destruct,
The heat was on, rising to the top
Everybody's goin' strong
That is when my spark got hot
I heard somebody say
Burn baby burn! Disco inferno! (Aah yeah!)
Burn baby burn! Burn that mama down
Burn baby burn! Disco inferno, yeah!
Burn baby burn! Burn that mama down
Burn baby burn! Disco inferno! (Aah yeah!)
Burn baby burn! Burn that mama down
Burn baby burn! Disco inferno, yeah!
Burn baby burn! Burn that mama down
Burnin'!
I just can't stop
When(till) my spark gets hot
Just can't stop
When my spark gets hot
Burning, burning, burning, burning
The song "Disco Inferno" by the Trammps is a disco classic from 1976. The first line of the chorus "Burn baby burn!" immediately evokes thoughts of fire and destruction. The lyrics describe a wild disco party where people are getting loose and the heat is rising. The repetitive chanting of "burning" reinforces the sense of feverishness and abandonment that a disco could create.
The line "Satisfaction came in the chain reaction" highlights the intense pleasure that the party-goers are experiencing, as if they are being swept up in a wave of euphoria. This is underscored by the fact that the singer "couldn't get enough" and had to "self destruct." The sense of excess and abandon that came to be associated with disco is evident throughout the song. The repetition of the title phrase "Disco Inferno" reinforces the sense of fiery passion and energy that is creating the party's intense heat.
Overall, "Disco Inferno" captures the intense sensory overload and abandon that defined the disco era. The song is a testament to the power of music to take people out of themselves and create something greater than the sum of its parts.

One of the finest moments in disco! Beautiful orchestration, harmonies and lyrics. The speakers and the floor shaking at midnight and everyone dripping with sweat. No cell phones. No internet. No computers. No Facebook. No Twitter. No Zoom. No Microsoft. None of that crap. Just good times and good music. Take me back on a Time Machine.

I miss the 1980's, when the dance floor shook.
