Persistent earworm alert CCXVI

Since seeing a 1977 performance of Boney M.'s "Daddy Cool" on Pluto TV Thursday, I haven't been able to scrub that song from my mind.  I'll admit it's catchy, but it isn't just the song that stays with me.  The unusually mixed nature of the audience dancing along with the tune stands out.  There are dancers who are right at home in a club and other older audience members who look like they've just been to the opera.

The song's rhythm also makes me think it could segue with "Stomp!" by The Brothers Johnson.  I wonder if there's any similar footage from 1980 of an eclectic crowd dancing along with it.
