Well there's a fire in my heart tonight
Oh there's a fire in my heart tonight
I wanna see you alright

Well there's a fire in my heart tonight
I can feel that it's right
Oh there's a fire.... in my heart
Well there's a fire.... in my heart

Oh there's a fire in my heart tonight
It's gotta be it tonight
Well there's a fire in my....
Heart

VERSE 1:
All my friends warned me about you
They told me so
They told me so
They heard a rumour spread about you
They told me so

My mama said remember one thing
They told you so

I don't care how much I hear it
They told you so
They told you so

CHORUS:

They say I'm walkin' such a fine line

He'll take your heart

VERSE 3:
He'll come between common sense and emotion
They told me so
They told me so
I'm not arrayed on love's a notion
They told me so
They told me so

SONG BACKGROUND: "Darla dirladada" is a song recorded by French singer Dalida, released on single during summer of 1970. It was a #1 hit in France.

The song is based on Greek folk song "Dirlada" (Greek: Ντιρλαντά), originating from the island of Kalymnos in Greece. "The Dirlada has been popular on the Greek island Kalymnos for a very long time.

Dirlada, which we encounter in several versions and in a number of variants, is a work song, which might be sung oil-press to hearten the workers tolling at the hand-press of the time, or in the boats during the processing of sponges, or when pulling the oars.

The tune but also the name, seem to be related to similar songs of the peoples of North Africa, with whom the Kalymnians long maintained - and still maintain - close relations, owing to the islanders' sponge-diving activities along the coasts of Egypt and Cyrenaica. The musicologist Samuel Baud-Bovy speaks of tunes that are common to the peoples of the Mediterranean. We encounter such tunes in Kalymnos, as well. In the years after the last World War, it began to be danced on Kalymnos in a manner reminiscent of Arabic dances, arapika , as they were called; that is, it was danced by couples, as a face-to-face, and the steps were quick and springy.

The song is begun by one singer, the rest of the group joining in at the "break" and repeating the words.

MODERN VERSIONS:
Dionysis Savvopoulos sang "Dirlada" on his 1969 album To Perivoli tou Trelou.

In 1970 the song was recorded by French singer Dalida. It was released as a single from her album Ils ont changé ma chanson, on which it features as the sixth track. Dalida also recorded the song in Italian, German, and English-language versions.

In the same year it was also recorded by Cypriot-American-Israeli singer Trifonas Nikolaidis in Israel and released as an EP with 2 additional songs on the B-side.

It was the inspiration for the 1971 pop song Loop di Love by Juan Bastós.

The famous Greek songstress Marinella recorded two spirited cover versions of the song in 1971. One appeared on a compilation LP with various artists entitled ‘’Ena Karavi Yemato Tragoudia / A Boat Full of Songs’’. The other more known version appears as the last track of her studio album ‘’Enas Mithos/A Story’’

In 1973, Chilean singer José Alfredo Fuentes recorded an adaptation of the song in Spanish, released as "Dirladada".

The song has been covered by the Belgian-Flemish singer Marva. The most notable cover version, so far, is that of G.O. Culture in 1993, which became a huge hit in France.

The song is popular in Finland as well, recorded with Finnish lyrics by Kai Hyttinen in 1972. Erkki Pälli, a Finnish music producer and a journalist, heard this rousing song on a holiday in Rhodos back in 1971–72 and brought it back home with him. He offered it to Kai "Kuju" Hyttinen, who got a hit single of it. Pälli had just misheard the song and in Finland it is known as "Dirlanda" or "Dirlandaa".

Finnish music group Jean S. has also re-covered the song.


In 1982, a high energy disco version by 'Tanya' was released by Canadian Ali Baba Records, and widely bootlegged in the USA, Mexico and South American countries.

In 1995, for their fifth album, the Macedonian rock band "Memorija", recorded a version of this song, titled "Dirlada".

In 2018, the Romanian band D-l Goe covered the song to honour the 1st of March holiday, using an electro rock approach for the Romanian lyrics, previously used by singer Margareta Paslaru.

Fever - Standing In The Shadows Of Love (12'' Mix) 7.06 (1978) Patrick Joseph Cowley (October 19, 1950 – November 12, 1982) was an American disco and Hi-NRG dance music composer and recording artist. Along with Giorgio Moroder, he often is credited as a pioneer of electronic dance music. During his teenage years, Cowley became a successful drummer with local amateur bands before attending Niagara University and later the University at Buffalo to study English. In 1971, at the age of 21, Cowley moved to San Francisco to attend the City College of San Francisco (CCSF) where he studied music, specifically the use of synthesizers. Cowley met San Francisco-based musician Sylvester in 1978. Sylvester had asked Cowley to join his studio band after hearing some of his early synthesizer recordings. He played synthesizer on Sylvester's 1978 album Step II which included the hits "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" and "Dance (Disco Heat)". In addition, he wrote "Stars" and "I Need Somebody to Love Tonight" from his 1979 album Stars. Cowley also joined Sylvester's live band and joined him on several world tours. Cowley's own hits included "Menergy" in 1981, a frank celebration of the gay club scene, and "Megatron Man", which hit #1 and #2 respectively on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in 1981. That same year, Patrick Cowley was celebrated at the Menergy parties at The EndUp in San Francisco. He also wrote and produced the dance single "Right on Target" for San Francisco artist Paul Parker, which reached #1 on the Billboard dance chart in 1982. "Do Ya Wanna Funk", a collaboration with Sylvester, made #4 on the Billboard dance chart that same year. Cowley also did a 15'45" long remix of Donna Summer's "I Feel Love", which is now a collector's item. Mind Warp, his final album, was composed as he felt the increasing effects of HIV infection, and its songs reflect his increasing detachment from conventional reality as the disease progressed. During a world tour with Sylvester in late 1981, Cowley complained of feeling increasingly unwell. Upon returning to the United States, he visited a doctor who diagnosed food poisoning. Weeks later, with his condition only worsening, doctors again failed to identify what was wrong with him. At this early stage in the history of the HIV and AIDS, misdiagnosis was common and so Cowley, who was gay, was discharged from the hospital (in 1982) after doctors could do nothing more for him. Cowley died at his home in the Castro District neighbourhood in San Francisco on November 12, 1982. He was 32 years old, an early victim of AIDS. A couple of tracks were completed for a planned Sarah Dash album that year, which was cut short by Cowley's death. Despite never fully achieving mainstream commercial success, Cowley is nevertheless regarded as a pioneer of early electronic music and the creator of Hi-NRG, an uptempo strain of disco. Various 1980s artists such as Pet Shop Boys and New Order have cited his influence as a producer. Cowley has been described as "a musical pioneer whose achievements rippled throughout queer culture and beyond into the disco mainstream". Since the 2010s, Cowley's profile has risen as "listeners and scholars excavate disco's intersection with gay liberation." Amid the accompanying emergence of nu-disco in the late 2000s and early 2010s, profiles of Cowley across social media and other high-profile outlets have contributed to a resurgence of interest in his work.

Giorgio Moroder was a key figure in the mid-to-late-1970s Eurodisco scene, and one of real pioneers of using synthesizers in dance music.The early part of his career took place in Munich, where he made his name by discovering Donna Summer (and writing/producing the bulk of her catalogue). In the late 1970s he moved to L.A., and ended up doing a ridiculous amount of film-work. Seriously, if we're talking 80s pop trash and cheesy film soundtracks, Giorgio's name is bound to come up: he scored American Gigolo, Scarface, Midnight Express, Top Gun, Flashdance, The Neverending Story, and some fly-by-night B-movie fare like the horrible colorized recut of Fritz Lang's Metropolis and the Mr. T vehicle D.C. Cab. He wrote/produced "Call Me" by Blondie, "Take My Breath Away" for Berlin, "(Highway to the) Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins, almost anything you can think of by Donna Summer, and that's really just scratching the surface of the tunes he's made that everyone knows (and let's not forget, he has a HUGE catalogue of crazy underground synth disco gems on top of that).
