disco as a 'subject' for rock artists is the absolute worst, except the minutemen, they always get a pass.

I dont know, a few of these are references to a discotheque (e.g. 'School Disco' probably does have a lot to do with school discos), and not an appropriation of disco the genre. So I'm not sure they entirely fit with the original concept? Also, having typed it a few times, 'disco' now looks like an incredibly strange word.

George Harrison - "Disco Jesus"
Was kind of trolling here. This isn't a real song, but fictional song for the reunion album in the excellent out-of-print alternative Beatles history Paperback Writer by Make Shipper.
