Steve Dahl is infamous for his radio antics, Disco Demolition Night and more, and now has a successful podcast network. But did you know he was also a Billboard-charting recording artist?
In 1979, Dahl recorded "Do You Think I'm Disco?," a parody of Rod' Stewart's "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy," that peaked at 58 on the Billboard 100 charts in 1979. He went on to record several other songs with his band, Teenage Radiation. Here's a sampling:
"Do You Think I'm Disco?" - 1979
"Ayatollah" - 1979
"Skylab" - 1979
"Crew Cut Hero" - 1981
"Another Kid in the Crawl" -1981
"Falklands" - 1982
Dahl also recorded two albums of original, non-parody songs in the '90s as Steve Dahl & the Dahlfins.
