  Fleur should do Sunset People by Donna Summer, but more in the style of the Hot Chip remix.

  Actually, that would have worked this week too

  I would love someone to do Tryouts For The Human Race by Sparks. That song has the best bassline ever, even by Georgio Moroder standards.

  I'm struggling to think of any of them who could pull it off though. Given it's a song written from the point of view of a sperm maybe Jay James?

  Ok, my full list:
  
  Only The Young - Rasputin / Boney M
  
  Paul Akister - Do What You Wanna Do / T Connection
  
  Fleur East - Sunset People (Hot Chip remix style) / Donna Summer
  
  Jay James - Tryouts For The Human Race / Sparks
  
  Stevi - Walk The Night / Skatt Bros. or (probably a bit more get-away-able) Superfreak / Rick James
  
  Andrea - I'm Coming Out / Diana Ross
  
  Lauren - Thinking Of You / Sister Sledge or Last Night A Dj Saved My Life - Indeep
  
  Ben - Do Ya Think I'm Sexy / Rod Stewart Obvious choice, I know, but really struggling to think what else would suit his voice. Maybe Get Down Tonight by KC & The Sunshine Band?
  
  Stereo Kicks - Give Up The Funk / Parliament - Funk rather than disco but I actually think this could work for them really well if they did a decent job of it.

  Actually, I've changed my mind re Paul's. Again it's funk rather than disco but i would literally explode with sexy stuff if he did Holy Ghost by the Bar-Keys.
  
  Plus Luke got away with Play That Funky Music last year so I think it would be perfectly acceptable :cool:

  I think Jay should get the campest, gayest, most out there 70's glitterball disco tune imaginable and shock the life out of all of us. You Make Me Feel Mighty Real wearing a feather boa would be tv gold

  
  By coincidence, I suggested in a thread last week that Jay James's contribution to disco week would be a whiney, tearful ballad version of "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)".
