Amoeba Music

Thank God It's Friday captures the disco era in all of its naive glory. Multiple storylines twine through an enormous nightclub: Two underage girls desperately want in so they can enter a dance contest; the club's owner, Tony, makes a bet with his D.J. that he can woo a beautiful married woman -- whose uptight husband ends up taking drugs and loosening up more than he ever expected; a klutzy girl gets ditched by her best friend and flounders around the club looking for love; and an aspiring singer pleads with the D.J. to let her sing. It ends up being a pretty honest snapshot of the disco era.
