Question

Patrick Cowley devised a portmanteau starting with the word for these people to title a 1981 dance hit that popularized the disco sub-genre Hi-NRG, much like a 1983 club hit noting that for “fifty-two weeks of every year there’s a new one” of these people “every day.” That Miquel Brown song notes that there are “so many” of these people “and so little time.” (15[1])Paul Jabara and Paul Shaffer wrote another Hi-NRG song titled for these people for (*) Donna Summer, who rejected it as she had become a born-again Christian. That single from the album Success lists “tall, blonde, dark and lean, rough and tough and strong and mean” (10[1])examples of these people, who appear “just about half-past ten.” For 10 points, The Weather Girls sing “hallelujah” because “It’s Raining” (10[1])what kind of person? ■END■
