"Crying at the Discoteque" is a song by Swedish band Alcazar from their debut studio album, Casino (2000). The track samples Sheila and B. Devotion's 1979 hit "Spacer".[2] Alexander Bard produced the song and can be heard in the middle of this song. Released in April 2000, "Crying at the Discoteque" became Alcazar's first international hit single the following year, reaching number one in Hungary and the top 10 in Flanders, Germany, Ireland, Italy, and Switzerland.
In September 2020, British singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor released a cover version as a single to promote her greatest hits album Songs from the Kitchen Disco.[47][48] The cover was described as having "distinctive vocals and infectious charisma". It reached number 35 on the Scottish Singles Chart.
Lyrics
Downtown's been caught by the hysteria
People scream and shout
A generation's on the move
When disco spreads like a bacteria
Those lonely days are out
Welcome the passion of the groove
The golden years
The silver tears
You wore a tie like Richard Gere
I want to get down
You spin me around
I stand on the borderline
Crying at the discoteque
Crying at the discoteque
I saw you crying
I saw you crying at the discoteque
I saw you crying
I saw you crying at the discoteque
Tonight's the night at the danceteria
The joining of the tribe
The speakers blasting clear and loud
The way you dance is our criteria
The DJ takes you high
Let tears of joy baptize the crowd
The golden years
The silver tears
You wore a tie like Richard Gere
I want to get down
You spin me around
I stand on the borderline
Crying at the discoteque
Crying at the discoteque
I saw you crying
I saw you crying at the discoteque
I saw you crying
I saw you crying at the discoteque
The passion of the groove
Generation on the move
Joining of the disco tribe
Let the music take you high
The golden years
The silver tears
You wore a tie like Richard Gere
I want to get down
You spin me around
I stand on the borderline
Crying at the discoteque
Crying at the discoteque
Crying at the discoteque
Crying at the discoteque
Crying at the discoteque
Crying at the discoteque
Crying at the discoteque
