The Trammps

The Trammps were an American disco and soul band, who were based in Philadelphia and were one of the first disco bands. The band's first major success was with their 1972 cover version of "Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart". The first disco track they released was "Love Epidemic" in 1973. However, they are best known for their Grammy winning song, "Disco Inferno", originally released in 1976 becoming a UK pop hit and US R&B hit, then re-released in 1978 and becoming a US pop hit. The music journalist Ron Wynn noted "the Trammps' prowess can't be measured by chart popularity; Ellis' booming, joyous vocals brilliantly championed the celebratory fervor and atmosphere that made disco both loved and hated among music fans." more »

Since the day, you gave your love to me
Oh, I confess I need it constantly
No remedy could ever cure
This pain you have on me
So I'm yours, my dear
Until eternity, it's you or me

(Hooked for life, hooked for life)
For your love I'm makin' a sacrifice
Like a man with a monkey on his back I'm hooked for life
(Hooked for life)

I'm hooked for life, hooked for life
For your love I'm makin' a sacrifice
Like a man with a monkey on his back I'm hooked for life, yeah
(Hooked for life)

It's alright

People say, ooh, that you're no good for me
What misery they say love's company

All they can see I'm chained and vowed
To this new love I've found
I'll be round
'Til I'm put in a clown, you're safe and sound

(Hooked for life, hooked for life)
Told you baby, yeah
Like a man with a monkey on his back I'm hooked for life
(Hooked for life)

(Hooked for life, hooked for life)
Like a man with a monkey on his back I'm hooked for life
(Hooked for life)

(Hooked for life, hooked for life)
For your love I'm makin' a sacrifice
Like a man with a monkey on his back I'm hooked for life, yes, I am
(Hooked for life)

(Hooked for life, hooked for life)
For your love I'm makin' a sacrifice
Like a man with a monkey on his back I'm hooked for life
(Hooked for life)

(Hooked for life, hooked for life)
Can't you see, just you and me
We together 'till eternity
(Hooked for life)

(Hooked for life, hooked for life)
There's no remedy
