" The line ' This ai n't no disco ' sure stuck ! " remarks Byrne in the liner notes of '' Once in a Lifetime : The Best of Talking Heads '' . " Remember when they would build bonfires of Donna Summer records ? Well , we liked some disco music ! It 's called ' dance music ' now .

" The Staple Singers covered this song on their eponymous 1985 album
