The basic idea of this page has come from listening to a tape recorded in the early 80’s by the legendary DJ Marco Trani (RIP), during one night at the Easy Going disco in Rome, that is present on the web. Honestly, I haven’t liked a remake of Debbie Jacobs – high on your love (US 1979, producer Paul Sabu), which is one of my favorite tracks of the electric funk genre. For that, I’ve decided to create a personalized version, according to my musical tastes. Of course, I have selected two excerpts of the lyrics, the most discussable and politically incorrect, as follows: excerpt 1) “Now from the morning to the afternoon/I keep myself ready and in tune”; excerpt 2) “Now a whistle turns me on/And if you’re lonely, bang a gong”.
You need to know that almost all of disco classics have one or more double meanings, generally related to the American slangs of recreational drugs and sexual intercourses. For those who are not familiar to that, I explain the “hidden” meanings of the two excerpts above reported. The first excerpt means “I’m serious and sober from morning to afternoon, but at the disco I let myself go”. The second excerpt is more explicit, and can mean “there’s a penis that excites me, but in case it belongs to a homosexual (who neglects me), I have a dose of heroin to inject”. Another interesting meaning of “bang a gong” would require the word “gong” uppercase, and not lowercase, more clearly “bang a Gong”. Gong is a surname spread in China, South Korea, and Vietnam, proper of about 3,1 million persons, male and female. What does the expression “bang a Gong” mean, according to the above cited slangs? Well, the translation can be “have a sexual relationship with someone named Gong”. I can propose to male heterosexuals some examples of beautiful women named Gong, as follows: Gong Beibi, Gong Hyo-jin, Gong Ji-ho, Gong Jun, Gong Li, Gong Seung-yeon, Gong Xue, Gong Yoo, and so on. Of course, you can’t bang a Gong without consent.
The personalized version of “high on your love” is named “Max Look Politically Incorrect Dub Mix”, even if the words “Politically Incorrect” are rather banal. The two vocal parts have been intentionally recorded on the background of a strong funky groove. The string-like effects are not symmetric, and a whistling synthesizer part has been put over the “Now a whistle …” repeated sample. The fantastic synth solo of the original track has resulted notably underlined.
File name is “Debbie Jacobs – high on your love (Max Look Politically Incorrect Dub Mix, July 2026)”, length 4’40”, rhythm at 123,7 BPM, it’s a not official remix of a disco classic of the year 1979, even more explicit of the original song.
