This immortal Bell and James slice of disco-soul goes out to every single hard-working (but tired and bored-to-death) salve who lives through the week just to get to Friday night -- when "Livin' It Up" meant going to dance clubs and having a psychedelic experience without real drugs -- this psychodiscomanic trip was a combination of ingredients: flashing disco lights; body heat and motion all around; a heady mix of perfumes, aftershaves, hairsprays and mouthwash... but mostly it was due to the glory of getting out of the cubicle, the cage, the conformist suit, and into your "anything's possible" superhero persona.
The whispered echos and other "special effects" give this song an undertone of a spy thriller.
The pheromones were flying as we were bumping and boogieing to this crazed liberation celebration, when we could finally fire our cannons and make some memories.
You know what to do - enjoy your trip!
