I got my ipod
Shake my body
You got me going
So naughty, naughty

Hey Mr. Music, keep me focused
Keep me moving, like you promised
Take me back to another time
Play that track, c'mon, press rewind

Hey Mr. Music, c'mon and rock me
You're so explosive, you really shock me
In my soul, under my skin
When it's done, play it over again

I love music, I love it, I love it
I love music, I love it, I love it
I love music, I love it, I love it
I love music, I love it, I love it

Hey Mr. Music, you get me through it
You play it for me, know how to choose it
You make me happy, make me cry
You're always there in every part of my life

Hey Mr. Music, c'mon and take me
You got me dreaming, shake me, wake me
Never stop, always in my mind
All day, all night, Mr. Overtime

I love music, I love it, I love it
I love music, I love it, I love it
I love music, I love it, I love it
I love music, I love it, I love it

I need your help
Get me through, another day
Friday's been dragging on
Now I'm out, it's time to play

Belly up, belly up to the ball, boy
Let the belly be seen
Belly up, belly up to the ball, boy
Like a party machine

Belly up, belly up to the ball, boy
Let the belly be seen
Belly up, belly up to the ball, boy
Like a party machine

I love music, I love it, I love it
I love music, I love it, I love it
I love music, I love it, I love it
I love music, I love it, I love it

I love music, I love it, I love it
I love music, I love it, I love it
I love music, I love it, I love it
I love music, I love it, I love it

I got my ipod
Shake my body
You got me going
So naughty, naughty

I got my ipod
Shake my body
You got me going
So naughty, naughty

I love music

As the unquestioned queen of disco, the one and only Donna Summer lit up the late 70s and 80s with flashy, exuberant vocals and automatic earworms. Born LaDonna Adrian Gaines on Dec. 31, 1948, Summer moved to Germany after being cast in a Munich production of Hair. There, she happened to meet Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte, and the trio conglomerated to form a dynamic music team. With Moroder, Summer forged together her first album, The Hostage, which reached moderate success in Northern Europe. Summer’s big break, however, would come later with the release of 1975’s sexual “Love to Love You Baby”, which became one of disco’s first mainstream hits and reached #2 on the Billboard Charts.

1977 came around with the concept album I Remember Yesterday, which featured the Top 10 single “I Feel Love”. The next year, Summer hit the silver screen with the movie Thank God It’s Friday, whose soundtrack featured one of her own the iconic “Last Dance.” This would later become one of the disco legends' signature songs. “Dance” would take home an Academy Award for Best Original Song, a Grammy, and a Golden Globe, and it jumped to a peak of #3 on the charts.

Yet Summer’s illustrious career was far from finished – Summer’s first live album Live and More featured the single “MacArthur Park”, a melting ballad that was a cover of the Jimmy Webb ballad of the same name. “Park” became Summer’s first – and perhaps most memorable – No. 1 hit, and cemented her status as a vocalist as well as a performer. With the track, she became the first female in modern rock history to hold the top spot in both the Hot 100 and the Billboard 200. 1979, though, would really be the peak of her career.
