It reached #1 on the US Disco chart, #3 on the US Dance chart, #8 on the UK Singles Chart, #8 in Canada,[4] #10 on the Billboard Hot 100, #19 in Australia,[5] and #32 on the US R&B chart in 1974. The single ranked #100 on Billboard's Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1975.

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.
