Why Pink Floyd's single edit version of "Another Brick in the Wall" is considered to be a disco one-hit wonder of 1979 while Pink Floyd is not a one hit wonder when they are an English rock band

Image
 Pink Floyd's single edit version of "Another Brick in the Wall" was heavily remixed in 1979 for its single release, transforming it from a hard rock song into a disco-influenced track. This allowed the song to become a hit on the disco scene, allowing it to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 and become a one-hit wonder of 1979. Despite this, Pink Floyd is not considered to be a one-hit wonder since they have had numerous other hit singles and albums in the years following the release of "Another Brick in the Wall".

Kermit The Frog with The Frogettes - Disco Frog (Disco Club Version)

Image
  “Disco Frog” is a song sung by Kermit the Frog on Sesame Street. It was recorded for the 1979 album Sesame Disco!. Kermit later performed the song on The Muppet Show in episode 418. In this version, Kermit wore a leisure suit and danced on lily pads in the swamp. Kermit danced in front of a black background, and puppeteers were dressed in black so that Kermit’s whole body could be used. In some shots, portions of the black outfits worn by the performers can be seen. Kermit was joined by many frogs (including his nephew Robin) and an alligator. Music Video The video of this song is a mixture of Kermit the frog and his female frog puppets singing and dancing in the full moonlight by the swampy waterside and regular people dancing at the discotheque.

Image
  " Twilight Zone/Twilight Tone " was the epic club hit for the jazz-pop quartet  Manhattan Transfer .
