I was discussing the Gloria Gaynor song “I Will Survive” with T-Bone yesterday and she posited that every woman in the world, at one time or another, has listened to that song over and over again after a breakup, and that’s why it’s become such a women’s anthem that makes them go all retarded at bars. That issue — how anyone can find disco uplifting, let alone comforting — aside, it got me thinking…disco singers almost never actually wrote their own [cough, cough] songs, so who *did* write it?

It turns out the ultimate women’s anthem was written by a couple of dudes named Dino Fekaris and Freddie Perren. So not only is it musically laughable, it wasn’t even written with an authentic woman’s voice.

Ladies, if you want to listen to a song that helps you through a tough time, play “Untouchable Face” by Ani DiFranco. That should speed the healing. Christ, even “Everybody Hurts” would be better than some disco shit that a couple of guys wrote, no?
