* A fairly extreme example, Music/PainOfSalvation is a fairly dark and brooding progressive metal band, with huge spiralling concept albums about the existence of God and a fair bit of deep introspection. Track five on their album Scarsick is called "Disco Queen". It's a bizarre 7/8 grooving Disco song. With falsetto vocals. Which go "You're my DISCO QUEEN! Let's Disco! Ooh-ooh oo-ee oo-ee, AHHHHH!" Although this was, of course, ming-mong Kryptonite, it's actually pretty good. They used it as an encore for the entire tour. It is extremely entertaining to watch the big, hairy, tattooed metalheads do the John Travolta-dance from ''Film/SaturdayNightFever'' during said song.

* Thanks to the resemblance of her stance to the iconic image of ''SaturdayNightFever'', Iku Nagae of ''{{VideoGame/Touhou}}'' is often portrayed doing something Disco-related in [[FanFic fanfictions]]. Ironically, her [[ImpossiblyCoolClothes oarfish-themed clothing]] looks more like a salsa dancer's.

* ''TheTripods'' is about a VichyEarth kept in MedievalStasis by [[AlienInvasion alien invaders]], so something of an AnachronismStew moment occurs when a spy infiltrating the alien city walks into a bar for their human collaborators called the Red Parrot, and finds a [[StandardDiscoEquipment light ball shining multi-coloured beams]] over dancing men and women.

* DanceBattler maestre Eddy Gordo in the ''{{VideoGame/Tekken}}'' series started off with an alternate "outfit" that was treated as a (relatively obscure) alternate character, Tiger Jackson. No word yet on whether Capoeira works with a disco beat in real life..

* One of these appears in ''[[VideoGame/FancyPantsAdventures Fancy Pants Adventures: World 3]]''. You actually have to collect pieces of the disco ball from elsewhere in the level before it starts - You're rewarded with [[AndYourRewardIsClothes a new pair of pants]] if you do so.

Most extreme cases can be {{Big Lipped Alligator Moment}}s.
