Sing-along Saturday: 1979
TO celebrate each year the Star Observer has been in print and to get you in the mood for the weekend – in particular today with Mardi Gras happening – here is what we were singing along to back in 1979.
My Sharona – The Knack
Le Freak – Chic
Do Ya Think I’m Sexy – Rod Stuart
I will Survive – Gloria Gaynor
Y.M.C.A – Village People
Ring My Bel – Anita Ward

Support the Star Observer… while you still can
LGBTQIA+ media is under threat. Queer content is censored by tech conglomerates who amplify bigotry and push out AI slop — so we receive less financial support than ever.
When our community is muzzled and intolerance intensifies, we need queer media more than ever. Your donation means we can continue paying queer journalists to write queer news.
Don’t rely on the straight lies of big tech – support Star Observer instead and donate now.






Man music was so much better back then. My favourite out of these? “Le Freak” by Chic, in it’s full 12″ version. My favourite from 1979? Too many choices…disco is STILL KING!!
