American musician Meco recorded a disco version of the ‘Star Wars’ theme back in 1977, and it would go on to become a worldwide hit.
However, the performance of this funky track by a local dance troupe on the Dutch television show ‘TopPop’ was an interesting interpretation to say the least.
Check out the screenshots below – and remember, this is supposed to be inspired by ‘Star Wars’.







I should point out that ‘TopPop’ was a serious music program at the time – the Dutch equivalent to our ‘Countdown’ here in Australia, or ‘Top of the Pops’ in the UK. The show had an impressive guest list over the years with artists such as David Bowie, the Bee Gees and Queen all performing live.
