Is it my imagination or have I heard this baseline before?

Was sitting at breakfast today at a restaurant and heard this being played. I swear I’ve heard this somewhere else before. Thought I’d ask here - can anyone place it?

It's not the same bass/synthline, but the beginning gave me some serious Eurythmics vibes.

The rest of it doesn't trigger anything for me though

That’s it, thx.

Yep. Disco Inferno.

 

[DirtDog]

Yup. Disco Inferno with maybe a smidge of Billie Jean mojo?

I got a hearty helping of Riders on the Storm meets Disco Inferno.

The guitar has a Robbie vibe for sure.

Never understood how a band could afford to have that many people in it. How do you gig? $10 and change a piece at the end of the night?
And two bass players? (One playing and the other dancing around with a bass round his neck?)

Uhh, that’s just a video, with the prerecorded audio track, they’re just posing.
Here, they are live…


Every R&B/soul/disco vocal group had a sizable backline, especially with the horns. Yeah, they didn’t get paid much, but it was a gig. Beats hanging on the street corner. Just look at the JB’s…

Not even close, but its DNA is in this…

No, it goes to the IV, then resolves on the V, and there’s a bridge, but we figured it out already…not verbatim, but it’s pretty much the main part of “Disco Inferno”, by the Trammps.
