- The Disco Championships, also known as the Disco Dance World Championships, were a series of dance competitions that took place during the disco era in the late 1970s. This video is set to "Born to Be Alive," which was released in 1979.
"Born to Be Alive" became a disco anthem and reached the top of the charts in multiple countries, including France, Belgium, and the United States. The song's catchy melody and infectious rhythm made it a staple in disco clubs and a timeless classic in the genre.
Despite the immense popularity of "Born to Be Alive," Patrick Hernandez didn't manage to replicate the same level of success with his subsequent releases. However, he continued to make music and released several albums throughout the years.
Patrick Hernandez's contribution to the disco era remains significant, and "Born to Be Alive" continues to be recognized as one of the iconic songs of that era.
I’m still singing this song to this day. It’s such a fun song. Lol
This is a crazy ass Euro song, but it takes me right back! 😄💃🏻🕺🏻
Those were the days. Keeping fit at the disco, the roller disco, disco nights at the ice rink, northern soul dancing and pogoing to punk rock. Kids these days missed out on some fon times.
Fun fact: Madonna was a backup dancer for Patrick Hernandez early on in her career.
I hated this song when it was in the charts, now it brings back nostalgic memories.
That was so much fun! 😂
Holy crap. Waiting for someone to react to this. Yeah this dancing is off the charts North Cypress wins easy
Loved the reaction!😂
OMG Had forgotten about this song! Reminds me of the first time I went to a disco at 12. Being that young, I was rather freaked out and turned off by the older boys and men trying to talk to me, touch my hair or worse, but I loved dancing, and I became a "discoteca" girl until I got married at 21. Went every Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon during the school year, and was the first one on the dance floor and the last to leave it... Only took breaks to drink mineral water. People often asked me what I was on, but my energy was 100% fueled by water and my love for dancing. I could dance non-stop for hours, be it disco or new wave, break dance etc later on. 😊
This song was definitely one of my favs back then! 😊
Reminds me of going to the roller rink in 8th grade. This song would come on and we'd be flying out there. Good times!
So right. Sat night at the rink . Great time to be alive
I used to teach disco dance and I LOVED it! So much funk! For the ultimate dance floor hit: Let’s Groove by EW&F!!!!❤
Or Give Me the Night by George Benson. George plays guitar , sings AND skates in the video! ❤❤

Julie Brown from the UK was an MTV VJ in the late 80s. She went by the name 'Downtown' Julie Brown.

This song is 44 years old.
This reminds me of being a kid in the 70s and putting on my roller skates. Good times.
I love this song. Got people dancing back then for sure lol.
Yea we were cool. 🕺🏻
This french song was #3 best world record sell in 1979 with Madonna as her dancer. Vive le disco et vive la France

I haven’t heard that one in a looonnnggg time 😂. Have you guys done “Shadow Dancing” by Andy Gibb ?
What an amazing song & time to be Alive...All i remember was dancing my Butt off every weekend to relax from the M-F grind!
This song was amazing and it still makes you want to get up and dance. When i was a teenager they played it at the roller rink in town. (just gave away my age😂) And as always, great review guys! 😊 🙌
I was 20 years old when this song was new. My wife liked disco, I was a rock guy. But we are in our 60’s now.We listen but my wife’s crazy dancing days are over
The disco scene was something to behold.
These outfits, these moves!!! It’s fuckfunkyfabulous 🎉🥳🤩
Patrick Hernandez is still getting between $300K to $600K per year in royalties for this song.
Downtown Julie Brown? Yeah, that was her.
Great pull! Wubba Wubba!!
In 1980 there was a Rock program in one of the portuguese national radio stations that had the idea of creating an Anti-Top 10, where people voted for their most hated song of the time. This song entered straight to number 1 and stayed there during the three months the top lasted. 😆
Fun Fact: KISS's "I Was Made For Loving You" was also in that top but the highest it went was 9th. 🙂
This is my guilty pleasure song🤭🤭🤭 i hide it in my playlists on random, so as to surprise me🤭🤭🤭
Japan is the winner. I've seen this video and its just a good time.
Remember this song playin at a Carnival...when we on a roller coaster 🎢....and the song...like "You can ring ma bell" playn too.
"DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION" is an Arcade game that you dance to play. Asians love itl! And that's why the Asian guys are fast and good!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I've learned that Patrick Hernandez is a French singer. While Hernandez was touring the United States, he was accompanied by Vanloo and his friend Jean-Claude Pellerin. Vanloo and Pellerin held auditions in New York that spring for dancers to accompany Hernandez on his worldwide tour. The chosen dancers included a young Madonna.
Its success was immediate, and in January 1979, the United States had caught on, and after some remixing, the record was signed to the A-Tom-Mik label and later Columbia Records. The remixed version was released on a commercial 12" single; it peaked on the US Billboard disco chart at #1 and crossed over to the Billboard Hot 100 peaking at #16. It sold over one million copies in the US (back then, there was no internet!).
The track reached #10 on the UK Singles Chart. Hernandez received his first gold record from Italy. The song spread throughout Europe, where it hit #1 in France in April and remained there until July. By year's end, Hernandez had racked up 52 gold and platinum records from more than 50 countries. That's crazy!
Believe it or not but Patrick was in a HUGE Arena in Italia last year! It's incredible! This is AMAZING! Here is the video for you, enjoy! ruclips.net/video/BaCHwSvBtG0/видео.html
Corey...you were spot on.
Disco was all about the beat and hitting the dance floor, this was exactly how the Disco clubs were 💯💯💯💯💯
Of course it’s funny. I was a teenager in the late 70s. It was a fun time. But the clothes. Lmao… Epic.. 🕺🏻🕺🏻
I do believe that one dancer, julie brown from uk was the MTV vj downtown julie brown🤘❤️
Madonna started her career traveling to Paris with Patrick Hernandez.
I was in the US Army in Germany when this song was out .......the club was packed
This reminds me of the old show Dance Fever.
Now who’s going to tell me that wasn’t entertaining? 🤣🤣🤣
