Monti Rock III, calling himself Disco Tex, tells the audience that despite the troubles in the world, they should dance and enjoy themselves. As the song ends, he thanks the audience for their applause. It appears they want him to do an encore of the song. At first, he protests. "I am tired, I can't, I'm exhausted" he tells the audience, adding that his wig is wet from perspiration. But they continue to chant and he begins the song again.

The single (which is essentially Part 1) lasts 3.20 and fades after the words "My chiffon is wet, darling". The complete version (Parts 1 and 2) lasts 7.15.
