It is a genre unto itself. It is bizarrely satisfying on a musical level, and gives me a chuckle with every track. It was brilliant, and whoever thought it up deserves credit for thinking way outside the box.

I would actually love Patti or Bernadette do a similar treatment to some of their signature songs.

I bought the Merman Disco Album when it came ut in 1979. It brought so much joy on so many levels. Not sure what she was thinking - assuming a colleague, agent, producer, thought it might make her more relevant. But what a wicked treat that album is!

I had it also and still have it digitally in my music library. From what I have read she first recorded the Disco version of There's No Business Like Show Business and when they started playing it in clubs they convinced her to record and release a whole album. If there is a gayer or campier album out there I haven't heard it :-)

The best track is "Some People."
