I agree that all of these were "disco influenced". Here's another one from rockers you wouldn't expect to do anything disco-ish:

Many years ago, I got raked over the coals on a different music forum for daring to suggest that Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" had elements of disco in it. But come on...the structure of the song, plus the fact that it was released in 1979, makes it obvious to me that "Another Brick in the Wall" was disco influenced.

According to Pink Floyd guitarist/vocalist, at the suggestion of producer Bob Ezrin, Pink Floyd added elements of disco, which was popular at the time.

[Ezrin] said to me, "Go to a couple of clubs and listen to what's happening with disco music," so I forced myself out and listened to loud, four-to-the-bar bass drums and stuff and thought, Gawd, awful! Then we went back and tried to turn one of the parts into one of those so it would be catchy.
