oh yes it was just huuge. And deservedly so. The big band sound, the vocals, the bass guitar. Just brilliant and catchy af. Even hearing it now makes me wanna dance at 62 years of age
If I've heard correctly wasn't this like the first Disco hit, wasn't it?......I remember a documentary about Disco and I remember this song being a big deal because it was the drummer that came up with what they called the 4 on the Floor drum beat, which was for 4 beats per measure with the base drum (the floor pedal) drum and prior to that almost every song was beats on 1 and 3 or 2 and 4 ...but that 4 on the floor was 1 2 3 and 4, and that really became what made disco distinct from RnB was that 4 beats per measure.
I just went down a mini youtube rabbit hole because I couldnt remember exactly, but this wasn't the first Disco hit but the drummer's for the Tramp's name is Earl Young, and he is credited for inventing the four on the floor beat pattern (as it was used in Disco), and there's a clip on RUclips "Earl Young Explains his Revolutionary Disco Beat" and the man himself explains it.....and damn what that man can do with a set of drums
This was included on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. In the clubs they would play the longer version of this song and we did indeed burn up the dance floor dancing to this fun song on our platform shoes.
Oh, man!! I was going to make a similar comment. Listening to this song again reminded me how you still hear so, so many of these beats yet today. But, hey, if it works-- DON'T CHANGE A THING!!
That is absolutely true. From House to Hi-NRG to a lot of Techno to today's beats, it all has its origin in that 4-on-the-floor, metronomic seventies disco beat. You tell some people that and they disagree, but it's true. Seventies disco was the first "beats per minute" music.
Oh this takes me back to the late 70"s and early 80's. Disco gets such a bad rap, but dancing back then was just amazing!! This was one of the best in my opinion!!! Thank you so much!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Yes we did!!!!! WOOOOHOOOO! I burned that dance floor up!! What a fun time we had in that era!! It was the best. And this song was a blast to dance too! 🎶 YAAAASSSSSSSS!! 🎶
That bass line, those horns, the soulful lead and great harmonies, those late guitar licks. Probably one of the top 5 disco hits ever, and proof that so many disco songs were also just great songs
You are right Amber, we sure knew how to have fun! I was 20 years old in 1978 and enjoyed both the Disco sound and Rock. This song just sums up the disco era for me! I was out on those dance floors Jay, having the time of my life! It is so much fun to see you guys appreciate the music of my generation! 😊
Right with ya. I was 21 in 78 and spent many, many hours on the dance floor! We had a friggin GREAT time! After disco went kaput here in the states, the USAF sent me to England,then Germany and on to Turkey where disco never died. But I don’t know if it’s still popular today as my time in Turkey ended in 93….then it was back to the states. Party On!! Cheers
I was a kid during the height of the disco era. Some of the greatest, happiest music ever. I think y’all would like “Get Off “ by Foxy and “Knock On Wood” by Amii Stewart .
Me too! Love Ami Stewart's 'Knock on Wood', Thelma Houston's 'Don't Leave Me This Way' and Vicki Sue Robinson's original version of 'Turn the Beat Around'.
Didn’t have to worry about getting shot at the discos back then. I’m 69 years old and I always dip back into my bag of music from the 60’s thru the 90’, Good Times for All.
When I did my funeral plan, I put this song down for the song I wanted to be played when I get cremated. I have always loved this song so I want to dance my way out and I can't think of a better song to do it to. Thanks for your reaction, guys. Take care and be well. Peace.
I was about 18 at the height of disco. We used to wear beautiful dresses and the guys wore suits. The clubs had dance floors that lit from underneath. What a blast! I danced with 19 guys one night, no strings attached, because dancing is what we came there for. One club had rock upstairs and disco downstairs, and the floors were connected with a big spiral slide. What a hoot! When you heard the opening to this song, you made a beeline for the dance floor!
One that I used to tear up the floor with: Thelma Houston: "Don't leave me this way." (single version) (HQ Audio) One heck of a dance song and excellent vocals!
They won an Academy Award Oscar for this song being part of the award-winning soundtrack from the movie "Saturday Night Fever (1977). Note: 1. Stayin' Alive. 2. Night Fever. 3.More Than A Woman. 4. How Deep Is Your Love. 5.If I Can't Have You. 6.You Should Be Dancing. 7.Jive Talking. All these songs are Bee Gees songs used in the movie "Saturday Night Fever." "More Than A Woman" was performed by the group Tavares and the Bee Gees in the movie. "If I Can't Have You" was performed in the movie by Yvonne Elliman.
I am still a bass player and I totally agree.👍. Slapping and popping and funky as hell. I was in my early to mid teens when disco hit. Always loved it, but as an aspiring rock and roll guitar player... had to say I hated Disco.🤣🤣. I think that came from the first Van Halen concert that I saw in 1979 when the band happily engaged the audience in a chant of disco sucks! Hilarious stuff.
I turned 18 in 1978 and at that time 18 was the legal drinking age. I loved Disco and met a lot of beautiful women at the clubs, I had the platform shoes and the shirts with the huge lapels, it was time of my life.
I simply can't believe ANYONE has never heard Disco Inferno! It's one of those songs that's on every playlist at every party, wedding, club and occasion I've ever been too and it gets every generation on the floor! I am shocked and stunned and not a little amazed🤣
Y'all would also like a funk disco group called Heatwave that was popular about this time, mid- to late seventies. Their biggest dance hits were "Boogie Nights" (1976) and "The Groove Line" (1977), but they also sang some popular ballads, and they're another R&B group from "across the pond," from the UK.
Guys,you just needed to live in the 70's because we had the best music,the hard rock of Zeppelin,Aerosmith,Rush,Boston,Bad Company,etc,AND Motown,AND funky disco!🎶👊
Okay… The second time when the lead vocalist screams “Saaaaaatisfaction!” That just melts my platform shoes right off my feet. The funk was flamin’ in the clubs and on my stereo.
Mine too! I am usually looking at him as he is singing that part and saying out loud while I am smiling, Sing Man! Every single time I hear it. It's phenomenal.
Even though the disco years didn't last long those few years were fire. The disco floors were unreal. This song was in Saturday Night Fever. This was the ultimate disco movie. Just to travel back 1976 to 1981.
Studio 54 was open in the early 80s, but dance music started around '73 with Barry White and Love Unlimited, until "81-2. By then it was getting more synth-y like Yazoo with "Situation", less disco-y. @@alrivers2297
Jimmy Ellis the lead singer gave it so much soul and grit to all their songs, sadly he passed away a few years ago from Alzheimer's. A true gem of a singer. Another fantastic song by The Trammps is called. Where the happy people go.
I'm a hard rock/metal guy but I love any song or music that makes you shake your ass and dance like a crazy fool like this song does. Long live Disco!!! It's all about letting loose and having fun. De stress people!!!
A MONSTER Disco hit by the Trampps...on the Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack! I can still remember seeing that movie and hearing that song in 1977! Great memories! Thank you for sharing!
Trammps keyboard player Ron Kersey wrote this song with Leroy Green. They were inspired by a scene in the movie The Towering Inferno where a disco 🪩on top of a building is on 🔥🔥🔥fire. /_🔥_\\( °-°)/_🔥_\\ MOTHER ⬇‼
I was taken to see that movie by my parents in 1974 and I was only 6, they couldn’t get a babysitter 😂 the lift hanging off the skyscraper kept me out of lifts until I was 15 !
Disco was an insane movement. This is the greatest disco hit of all time. Amazing arrangement. You had to squeeze to get on the dance floor. Thank you, John Travolta.
C’mon who DID’NT get up when this track came on, the whole floor was full and strutting. If you were lucky enough to live during that time the memories are amazing. ✌️
I’m such a pushover for the horns. Love to see a dozen guys on the stage just jamming. KC & the Sunshine Band, Earth, Wind & Fire, the Dazz Band…good times.
Oh those disco days! This was my anthem for a full year out of the 3 years I frequented the discos in Cincinnati. The feeling this song brings back is overwhelming but so incredible. It's a shame you two can't travel back to see and experience the sights and sounds of those days. Those memories will forever be with me.
I'm not sure if you've heard it or not, but another great disco hit was "Turn the Beat Around" by Vicki Sue Robinson, from 1976. It was covered by Gloria Estefan in the late 80s.
I am so happy to hear you young folks embrace Disco! During the late seventies, I was a teenager. Your understanding of the culture and tastes which prevailed during that era accurately reflect much of what I saw and heard. This song from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack was emblematic of the late '70s culture. Disco.... Yaaay! Continue with the great reactions!
So, I was about 22 years old in the early 80's. I graduated HS around '78, so disco was right there. I mean, I/we had the polyester shirts, pants, and platform shoes. Not too big. But, let me tell you, this song was one of THE most popular song in the dance clubs. So, we had a local restauranteur who had a few restaurants with lighted, colorful floors that people could dance on. It was great. But, yeah, this song along with many others are still played a lot in stores and coffee places. KC, Donna Summer. Yup!
This song is definitely in the top 3 of best disco songs ever made. Other songs you can react to from this genre are GEORGECMCCRAE with ROCK YOUR BABY. This song is thought of as the first true disco hit that introduced the world to the genre. Then you have the song DON’T LEAVE ME THIS WAY. This was originally sung by HAROLD MELVIN AND THE BLUE NOTES but I prefer the version by THE COMMUNARDS as you get a great dance track which is a bit more 80’s. Then there’s EDWIN STARR who had several great songs WAR, CONTACT and THATS THE WAY. Finally one of the best is AMII STEWART with KNOCK ON WOOD.
It's burnin' from the top! Thumpin bass, rhythmic high hat and the classic beat. If you want to know where that roof started on fire, it started right here 🎶🎶🕺
The Towering Inferno was a popular disaster movie at the time. The Twin Towers in NYC were still new, and a movie about being trapped in a major high rise fire hit the zeitgeist perfectly. This song trailed right on that train and became an instant hit.
Love this song so much. When this song came on at the disco, I was ALWAYS inspired to get up and out on the dance floor, even if I had to dance by myself! This song had the BEST bass line EVER for dancing. Many thanks to The Trammps!!
I "couldn't get enough" of the grit in Jimmy Ellis' voice! Being a classic rock lover, I tried not to like ANY disco! But there was no denying the infectiousness of this song , and that funky bassline. And yeah Amber, we did know how to party!😉
One of the few disco tracks that stood out from the many for me. Great vocals, great bass, great horns etc. Most disco was boring and repetitive for me
This was fire on the disco dance floor !! 🔥💥🎷🎺🎸🥁🪩🪩🪩 The Trammps we’re so good & I love the lead singer & how he is having such a good time & smiling, the moves were fantastic & those horns such a big part of disco !
Philly Soul was the start of disco, the band MFSB (Mother Father Sister Brother) was the heart of the Philly Soul sound, and the Trammps were the singing rhythm section of MFSB. Y'all really got right to it today! 😄 The title, at least, was inspired by the movie The Towering Inferno, which y'all should check out.
My big sis is four years older then me. She was in the clubs disco dancing. She would show me the new moves & we would disco dance in our bedroom. They would call her Donna Summer in the club. Now she deals with Parkinson's & all we have are memories. We also use to sing together in our bedroom to like Heart music & all the strong women back in our day. Your channel brings back memories with all this music. I watch you all every night!! ❤❤
LOVE 💕 this song and this band and your reactions. So much more fun watching this with you than alone with my phone.🤠 It's clear that you two can't sit still during this music, just like all of us then
I was about 11 when Disco was at it's peak and I cannot express to you how infectious this music was. I my 6th grade class our PE period was learning the Hustle! Best party music ever!
One of the great songs of the time. Love it! We weren't just dancing to the song..we were also singing it out...burning that motha' dooowwn. Even if you had nobody to dance with, you couldn't resist getting out on the floor and boogey down. Love you guys! Glad you enjoy it as much as I do.
Wide collars, open neck, bright colors and bellbottoms. Had the 3-piece polyester, and yes, light the floor and spin the mirror ball, baby! Thanks for the memories ❤
I agree THIS is some Funky Disco! Is there Anyone Who DOESN'T want to get up on the Dance Floor when this song starts? Not that I'd do it justice out there... :) Love It!!! I can imagine both of You Guys Out There In The Day Using Up ALL Your Energy! Great Choice! :)
Disco was about SO much more than just great music. It was about celebration... And it brought EVERYONE together. We had just come out of a long war which, arguably, we shouldn't have ever entered. People everywhere were exhausted and hurting from seeing so much destruction and misery brought into our homes, in full color, for FAR too long... And from fighting the powermongers to end it and bring the boys home in something other than bodybags. It was a time to reunite, grieve our losses and heal our wounds... And then PARTY until after dawn at every opportunity. Never was the nightclub scene so big or so awesome as those disco-era years. What a time to be young! 🫶🤟
Imagine this the year is 1976, I had a silk shirt my fro wuz tight, platform shoes, and a baby blue leisure suit, the music was alive and soooooo was I…peace
In 1973 the weekend started on Thursday night and ended Sunday morning. We used to cruise from one bar/nightclub to another, dancing and drinking. It would end Sunday morning at a diner. I was 19 and I am thankful.
This is Disco, it's meant to be played on a good sound system at a nightclub. Instead of the 3-minute radio versions, you have to hear the extended 12-inch remixes, which were the ones played at the discos back then. Check out Tom Moulton's 10-minute remix of "Disco Inferno". The best disco remix ever.
Back when disco started & peaked in the 70's, many teen/young guys who loved rock-n-roll absolutely hated disco. Hating on disco became a thing back then. The females not so much. This is a great song with wonderful memories for me. 🙂
Somewhere toward the end of the disco craze, I remember as a kid seeing Stop signs edited/graffitied to read "Stop Disco". I love that its influence never really died.
@@ChrisW-17 ikr .. it was wild. It was a movement for sure. Guys were hardcore against disco. I was very young but it used to really surprise me how serious they were. I'm glad too .. there's lots of excellent disco that takes me back.
An awesome old time classic...This song was played so much on the radio back in the day that I thought I was a DJ...And at every club this song would get the party started.
This was a gigantic Disco hit. You could barely get a spot on the dance floor. The most incredible experience ever!
oh yes it was just huuge. And deservedly so. The big band sound, the vocals, the bass guitar. Just brilliant and catchy af. Even hearing it now makes me wanna dance at 62 years of age

God the music was amazing and we had such fun. NO ONE took themselves serious. The clubs were everything, such energy.
People need to HEAR that. We had fun because we ENJOYED the music, each other, and fun.

I was a kid during the height of the disco era. Some of the greatest, happiest music ever. I think y’all would like “Get Off “ by Foxy and “Knock On Wood” by Amii Stewart .
Knock on Wood by Ami is awesome!
Absolutely Amii Stewart. She needs to be on the Female Friday line up. Knock on Wood would blow their sock off.
I have these two songs amongst many on one of my playlists. Such fun music.
Me too! Love Ami Stewart's 'Knock on Wood', Thelma Houston's 'Don't Leave Me This Way' and Vicki Sue Robinson's original version of 'Turn the Beat Around'.
Get Off was one of the staples of my childhood! Guaranteed to get the party started!!!
The last "happy" music genre, no anger, no hate, multi-racial bands and that heavenly scent of funk all over the place.
People ended up bashing disco but it was such happy music. It brought everyone together. We need it now!

What I remember most about Towering Inferno was that everybody and their cousin was in it!
Now, that's a neat fact.
I was taken to see that movie by my parents in 1974 and I was only 6, they couldn’t get a babysitter 😂 the lift hanging off the skyscraper kept me out of lifts until I was 15 !
@@snowbirdlady8496 cost so much two film companies made it.
Now it just makes me think of 9/11 😢
Disco was an insane movement. This is the greatest disco hit of all time. Amazing arrangement. You had to squeeze to get on the dance floor. Thank you, John Travolta.
These were the most amazing songs to dance to.. everyone just wanted to dance.. everyone got along and enjoyed the music ❤
C’mon who DID’NT get up when this track came on, the whole floor was full and strutting. If you were lucky enough to live during that time the memories are amazing. ✌️
Another great group is The Travares. They had about a dozen hits, including - Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel (1976)
Tavares were one of the best disco groups.
My Fave of many
Yeah, Tavares! I sing Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel to my grandkids!!!
I’m such a pushover for the horns. Love to see a dozen guys on the stage just jamming. KC & the Sunshine Band, Earth, Wind & Fire, the Dazz Band…good times.
💯%!!!!
Oh those disco days! This was my anthem for a full year out of the 3 years I frequented the discos in Cincinnati. The feeling this song brings back is overwhelming but so incredible. It's a shame you two can't travel back to see and experience the sights and sounds of those days. Those memories will forever be with me.
I'm not sure if you've heard it or not, but another great disco hit was "Turn the Beat Around" by Vicki Sue Robinson, from 1976. It was covered by Gloria Estefan in the late 80s.
Love to hear percussion!! 🎶
I used to Love dancing to that 💃 🕺 ❤
I love Gloria's rendition!!!
This is the greatest song from the whole disco era pure magic
This song is epitome of a classic. Great song. Grooveline by Heatwave is the best disco tune imo. Anyone remember that great bass line??
I am so happy to hear you young folks embrace Disco! During the late seventies, I was a teenager. Your understanding of the culture and tastes which prevailed during that era accurately reflect much of what I saw and heard. This song from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack was emblematic of the late '70s culture. Disco.... Yaaay! Continue with the great reactions!
1977 all the way
"I did not think yall's generation knew how to party..."
You're so adorable, Amber. You couldn't handle a '70s/'80s party. 😂
70s party right here ............ the 80s were not even in diapers yet lol
Like The Bee Gees, the Trammps were featured in the movie “Saturday Night Fever”.
So, I was about 22 years old in the early 80's. I graduated HS around '78, so disco was right there. I mean, I/we had the polyester shirts, pants, and platform shoes. Not too big. But, let me tell you, this song was one of THE most popular song in the dance clubs. So, we had a local restauranteur who had a few restaurants with lighted, colorful floors that people could dance on. It was great. But, yeah, this song along with many others are still played a lot in stores and coffee places. KC, Donna Summer. Yup!
This song is definitely in the top 3 of best disco songs ever made. Other songs you can react to from this genre are GEORGECMCCRAE with ROCK YOUR BABY. This song is thought of as the first true disco hit that introduced the world to the genre. Then you have the song DON’T LEAVE ME THIS WAY. This was originally sung by HAROLD MELVIN AND THE BLUE NOTES but I prefer the version by THE COMMUNARDS as you get a great dance track which is a bit more 80’s. Then there’s EDWIN STARR who had several great songs WAR, CONTACT and THATS THE WAY. Finally one of the best is AMII STEWART with KNOCK ON WOOD.
@Julie Martin. Go check out Edwin Starr's song: 25 Miles... It's his best song! 😊
The whole Rock Your Baby album is great.
It's burnin' from the top! Thumpin bass, rhythmic high hat and the classic beat. If you want to know where that roof started on fire, it started right here 🎶🎶🕺
The Towering Inferno was a popular disaster movie at the time. The Twin Towers in NYC were still new, and a movie about being trapped in a major high rise fire hit the zeitgeist perfectly. This song trailed right on that train and became an instant hit.
Also....best line ever "I couldn't get enough....so I had to self destruct!!" Love it
Love this song so much. When this song came on at the disco, I was ALWAYS inspired to get up and out on the dance floor, even if I had to dance by myself! This song had the BEST bass line EVER for dancing. Many thanks to The Trammps!!
I "couldn't get enough" of the grit in Jimmy Ellis' voice! Being a classic rock lover, I tried not to like ANY disco! But there was no denying the infectiousness of this song , and that funky bassline. And yeah Amber, we did know how to party!😉
One of the few disco tracks that stood out from the many for me. Great vocals, great bass, great horns etc. Most disco was boring and repetitive for me
Such a fun song! It was great listening to this kind of music when I was a kid.
This was fire on the disco dance floor !! 🔥💥🎷🎺🎸🥁🪩🪩🪩 The Trammps we’re so good & I love the lead singer & how he is having such a good time & smiling, the moves were fantastic & those horns such a big part of disco !
Philly Soul was the start of disco, the band MFSB (Mother Father Sister Brother) was the heart of the Philly Soul sound, and the Trammps were the singing rhythm section of MFSB. Y'all really got right to it today! 😄 The title, at least, was inspired by the movie The Towering Inferno, which y'all should check out.
If you believe that you know nothing about disco
Philly soul/R & B, MFSB was a huge part of the early years of disco. I was there. @@user-yb5si4ej3z
This was all over the clubs in 76.
It was a great time for music for certain. As always, Amber’s reactions are genuine and insightful. Thanks for your work.
The Trammps' song 'That's Where the Happy People Go' was another hit in mid 70s! One of my favorites as a kid.
My big sis is four years older then me. She was in the clubs disco dancing. She would show me the new moves & we would disco dance in our bedroom. They would call her Donna Summer in the club. Now she deals with Parkinson's & all we have are memories. We also use to sing together in our bedroom to like Heart music & all the strong women back in our day. Your channel brings back memories with all this music. I watch you all every night!! ❤❤
Absolute Disco Classic.
LOVE 💕 this song and this band and your reactions. So much more fun watching this with you than alone with my phone.🤠 It's clear that you two can't sit still during this music, just like all of us then
I was about 11 when Disco was at it's peak and I cannot express to you how infectious this music was. I my 6th grade class our PE period was learning the Hustle! Best party music ever!
You’re right brother, 1977-78 was the most fun you can imagine. The clubs were on fire!
There was a lot of partying and dancing in the 70s and 80s!! I was a little girl in the 70s and loved it. This song is just iconic! 💖💕💖💕
What a boogie-fest!! Have a Thrilling Thursday!!
One of the great songs of the time. Love it! We weren't just dancing to the song..we were also singing it out...burning that motha' dooowwn. Even if you had nobody to dance with, you couldn't resist getting out on the floor and boogey down. Love you guys! Glad you enjoy it as much as I do.
Wide collars, open neck, bright colors and bellbottoms. Had the 3-piece polyester, and yes, light the floor and spin the mirror ball, baby! Thanks for the memories ❤
I agree THIS is some Funky Disco! Is there Anyone Who DOESN'T want to get up on the Dance Floor when this song starts? Not that I'd do it justice out there... :) Love It!!! I can imagine both of You Guys Out There In The Day Using Up ALL Your Energy! Great Choice! :)
I love disco!!
Disco was about SO much more than just great music.
It was about celebration... And it brought EVERYONE together. We had just come out of a long war which, arguably, we shouldn't have ever entered. People everywhere were exhausted and hurting from seeing so much destruction and misery brought into our homes, in full color, for FAR too long... And from fighting the powermongers to end it and bring the boys home in something other than bodybags.
It was a time to reunite, grieve our losses and heal our wounds... And then PARTY until after dawn at every opportunity. Never was the nightclub scene so big or so awesome as those disco-era years. What a time to be young! 🫶🤟
When this song started, it didn't matter if you could dance or not, you just had to get on the floor ans move! What great memories.
You're in for a real treat with this one
Imagine this the year is 1976, I had a silk shirt my fro wuz tight, platform shoes, and a baby blue leisure suit, the music was alive and soooooo was I…peace
Just imagine when we went to discos in the 70's we had these songs for HOURS!! Just the best music to dance to EVER!
In 1973 the weekend started on Thursday night and ended Sunday morning. We used to cruise from one bar/nightclub to another, dancing and drinking. It would end Sunday morning at a diner. I was 19 and I am thankful.
For Female Friday, try Thelma Houston's "Don't Leave Me This Way"--a disco classic.
First! This is a CLASSIC jam!!!! 💝💙
This is Disco, it's meant to be played on a good sound system at a nightclub. Instead of the 3-minute radio versions, you have to hear the extended 12-inch remixes, which were the ones played at the discos back then. Check out Tom Moulton's 10-minute remix of "Disco Inferno". The best disco remix ever.
There're a lot of disco tunes I lerve, but this is definitely one of my faves! Glad you enjoyed it!!
Back when disco started & peaked in the 70's, many teen/young guys who loved rock-n-roll absolutely hated disco. Hating on disco became a thing back then. The females not so much. This is a great song with wonderful memories for me. 🙂
Somewhere toward the end of the disco craze, I remember as a kid seeing Stop signs edited/graffitied to read "Stop Disco". I love that its influence never really died.
@@ChrisW-17 ikr .. it was wild. It was a movement for sure. Guys were hardcore against disco. I was very young but it used to really surprise me how serious they were. I'm glad too .. there's lots of excellent disco that takes me back.
An awesome old time classic...This song was played so much on the radio back in the day that I thought I was a DJ...And at every club this song would get the party started.
This all-time song had soul, funk & disco in it. Transcendent.
Disco was funk. I dance to this all of the time and now I'm in my sixties and I still play it and dance it makes me happy
