Please don't talk about love tonight.
Please don't talk about sweet love.
Please don't talk about being true and all the trouble we've been through.
Ah, please don't talk about all of the plans we had for fixin' this broken romance.
I want to go where the people dance. I want some action ...
I want to live! I love the nightlife, I got to boogie on the disco 'round, oh yea./ Alicia Bridges

Shane O'Shea: [voiceover] A guy named Steve Rubell had a dream: To throw the best damned party the world had ever seen and to make it last forever. He built a world where fantasy was put up as reality and where an 80-year-old disco queen could dance till dawn. Where models mingled with mechanics, plumbers danced with princes. It was a place where all labels were left behind. A place where there were no rules. 54 (1998)
