Side-A label of the 1977 US vinyl single
"Disco Inferno" is a song by American disco band the Trammps from their fourth studio album of the same name (1976). With two other cuts by the group, it reached No. 1 on the US Billboard Dance Club Songs chart in early 1977, but had limited mainstream success until 1978, after being included on the soundtrack to the 1977 film Saturday Night Fever, when a re-release hit number eleven on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[1][2]
It was also notably covered in 1993 by American-born singer Tina Turner on What's Love Got to Do with It,[3] and in 1998 by American singer-songwriter Cyndi Lauper on the A Night at the Roxbury soundtrack.[4] Among others who covered this are Damien Lovelock, Hardsonic Bottoms 3, and Vicki Shepard.
