Ring My Bell-Anita Ward

Ring My Bell (1979)
Anita Ward

Rating: 3.6

I must admit, I am not a great fan of Anita Ward's vocals; however, she did know how to write a fairly good disco tune. Of course, this being disco (and the 1970's), this isn't a purely innocent song about a visit from the neighbors. The title, "Ring My Bell," is simply a euphemism for a common song topic-having sex. Listen to the lyrics very carefully, and you'll find it to be true; I hadn't listened to this song for a few years, and I was thrown off when I actually figured out what this song was really talking about.

Though I find this song hard to listen to multiple times in a row, it's insanely catchy with a strong back beat, and I can't help singing along with the simple chorus  every time it pops up.

(Side note-this isn't one of the main 1001)
