Groove, thanks for bringing summer in the winter. You made this SING, even the instruments took center stage! And as always, that background is perfectly exotic. 👏👏👏👏👏
..."Disco Barry" gets the Groovefunkel treatment! ..ha-HAA!! ...The 'Lola' in the tune is based on *LOLA FALANA* , because she & Barry were BIG on the Las Vegas circuit, in 1977 / 1978; as expected Barry HATED Disco, but did it on HIS terms, tuning it into a PLAY....he hit #15 Disco, July 1978.....
@@martyemmons1859 ....I own the DVD of her TV Specials from 1975 / 1976! ..It's a bummer watching the audience look bored with every Episode, but Lola was a FOX and a HALF!
Of all the songs you remixed, never in a million years would I imagine this one popping up. Man you're insane 😂 and I'm here for it. Happy new year bro👊🏾👍🏾
Copacabana la plage de mes rêves. Copacabana c'est au Brésil (le pays de mes rêves), si j'écoute cette chanson, ca veut que j'aime beaucoup le Brésil, je rêve d'aller là-bas un jour avec ma famille, et je suis très fan de ce pays et je suis pour les gagnants au football. Depuis 11 ans et demie, j'aime beaucoup le Brésil et je rêve un jour d'aller là-bas avec ma famille.
Ladies and Gentlemen, all rise. The remixaholic guilty pleasure hearing is now in session, the honorable Lord Remix Groovefunkel presiding. Perfection in the mix as always. Simply outstanding. Just when you think you can’t be surprised, The Groovefunkel drops Barry and the “Copa” for all the Fanilows. As a 53 year old straight male, this one qualifies (as Pamela said) as a guilty pleasure. Tryin’ to prepare myself to get ABBA’d with “Dancing Queen” next. You see, Groovefunkel has that power, lol. Happy New Year , and thank you Groovefunkel for supplying us with our steady fix of the Dr. Feelgood Groovefunkel remix. Groovefunkel, baby !!! ✌🏻
I love how this was remixed. Excellent. I got excited when I came upon this song. Used to be one of my favorites back in the day. Still is. I'm bringing in 2024 with this one. Thanks so much for posting. God bless and a Happy New Year to everyone!
I swear, it’s absolutely ridiculous how you take a spectacular song and turn it into something truly out of this world 🌎. It’s like it was a Chevrolet Caprice Classic and you transition it into a Rolls Royce. It’s brilliant ❤❤❤🎉
Not a huge fan of the song... BUT.... I am NOW... Truly a great record mow.. New light.. New imagination...Excellent.. Creative... Barry would be ecstatic!
hey man, i genuinely wanted to just say how much of a huge inspiratiom youve been to me, it would mean more than words if we could talk some day, lkve your stuff
This is truly astounding. You really get to the heart of 70s songs with all the drama inherent in most of them. Sidenote -- I love it when actors in old movies refer to this place as The Copacabanya. In All About Eve: "Miss Casswell is an actress, a graduate of the Copacabanya school of the dramatic arts."
Beautiful mix. I think you really brought out the instrumentals even further! One of my favorite aspects I wish we got to see shine in the song more. Thanks for making this!
Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there She would merengue and do the cha-cha And while she tried to be a star, Tony always tended bar Across a crowded floor, they worked from eight til four They were young and they had each other Who could ask for more? At the Copa, Copacabana The hottest spot north of Havana At the Copa, Copacabana Music and passion were always the fashion At the Copa .... they fell in love His name was Rico, he wore a diamond He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancin' there And when she finished, he called her over But Rico went a bit too far, Tony sailed across the bar And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two There was blood and a single gun shot But just who shot who? At the Copa, Copacabana The hottest spot north of Havana At the Copa, Copacabana Music and passion were always the fashion At the Copa .... she lost her love Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl But that was thirty years ago, when they used to have a show Now it's a disco, but not for Lola Still in the dress she used to wear, faded feathers in her hair She sits there so refined, and drinks herself half-blind She lost her youth and she lost her Tony Now she's lost her mind!

I wouldn't have this in my playlist. I'm not a huge fan of BM, but the intro alone made me tap the 'save' button. Beautiful remix! I'm a huge fan of Marvin Gaye, wondering if you plan to do some of his iconic songs. Your work is amazing! 🧡
YOU DONT UNDERSTAND! HOW LONG IVE WAITED FOR THIS!!! 😭😭😭😭
sublime
Most upbeat and happy retelling of a tragic loss of a lover. Damn.
True!
Formidable disco
He' s one of Favorites...beautyful voice of sympatic singer

Great information regarding the context of one of my favorite songs!
Really?
I still have an intense desire to watch/listen to Lola Falana sing & dance at any opportunity.

Fan-freaking-tastic, as always!

I don't know why this song reminds me of the old love boat.

Let’s goooo😎🔥💯
When something hits you from the first opening note you know it's going to be good! 'Liked' already!!!! (124 that's me!). Cool video too.
Thanks, and sorry for the late response.
never in a million years did i think you'd do this one considering the session but wow !

Didn't expect to like this but you featured some things I'd never noticed before. That's why I love your channel!
Thanks Matt!
So very well done, never heard it so "dancing easy" style
Instant subscriber! Amazing work…love to see you mix a George Michael tune, maybe Club Tropicana, or Blue Armed With Love!
Thanks for the sub!
Amazing great remix. I just wish it was longer.
Glad you like it!
Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair
and a dress cut down to there
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star,
Tony always tended bar
Across a crowded floor,
they worked from eight til four
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?
At the Copa, Copacabana
The hottest spot north of Havana
At the Copa, Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa .... they fell in love
His name was Rico, he wore a diamond
He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancin' there
And when she finished, he called her over
But Rico went a bit too far, Tony sailed across the bar
And then the punches flew and chairs
were smashed in two
There was blood and a single gun shot
But just who shot who?
At the Copa, Copacabana
The hottest spot north of Havana
At the Copa, Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa .... she lost her love
Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl
But that was thirty years ago, when they used to have a show
Now it's a disco, but not for Lola
Still in the dress she used to wear,
faded feathers in her hair
She sits there so refined, and drinks herself half-blind
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony
Now she's lost her mind!
At the Copa, Copacabana
The hottest spot north of Havana
At the Copa, Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa .... don't fall in love
Don't fall in love

Let's get the party started! 💃🍹🥳
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👌👍👍👍👏👏👏💥
Some reason, this remix reminds me of Robert De Niro’s performance as Vito Corleone in Godfather part 2? 0:36 - 0:50
Wuauu thanks🎉
Can you re-release exactly the same but instrumental?
Tulepera con la papaya
excellent version. congratulations.
