History Music / GiorgioMoroder

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: His theme for ''Film/{{TheNeverEndingStory}}'' fades in at the beginning and out at the end. It doesn't have a proper start or end because it's... a never-ending story.

He also collaborated with Philip Oakey (the lead vocalist of Music/TheHumanLeague, who sings the above quote in ''Film/ElectricDreams''), Japan, [[{{Music/Queen}} Freddie Mercury]] and Music/DaftPunk.

* {{Disco}}

* PopStarComposer: Composed the soundtrack for ''Film/MidnightExpress'', ''[[Film/{{Scarface 1983}} Scarface]]'' and the 1984 restoration of ''Film/{{Metropolis}}'' as well as the theme songs of ''Film/{{Flashdance}}'' and ''Film/TheNeverendingStory''.

* LoveTheme: As a Hollywood composer, he's written quite a number of these, most famously the enormous hit "Take My Breath Away (Love Theme from Film/TopGun)". His love theme for ''Film/{{Flashdance}}'' is also well regarded.

* EpicRocking: "Chase", "Evolution", "Call Me". The A-side of the ''Knights In White Satin'' album could also be considered this. Many of the 12'' mixes of his songs (which were designed for the dance floor) are also this (like "I Feel Love").

* PopStarComposer: Composed the soundtrack for ''Film/MidnightExpress'', ''[[Film/{{Scarface 1983}} Scarface]]'' and the 1984 restoration of ''Film/{{Metropolis}}''.
* PornStache: Along with a pair of CoolShades, his mustache became one of his signature elements. The Novation Morodernova, a special version of the Mininova virtual-analog synthesizer pre-loaded with all kinds of typical Moroder sounds, is covered in outlines of shades and staches. And after Daft Punk brought him back into the limelight, he even regrew his trademark stache.

He began his career in the mid-60's, releasing under the name Giorgio ''very cheesy'' singles, most of them becoming unsuccessful (and, fortunately, largely forgotten). In TheSeventies, he started to become more successful, especially after Chicory Tip's hit "Son of My Father". He also founded Musicland Studios (in the late-60's), which held recording sessions by people like Music/LedZeppelin, Music/{{Queen}} and Music/EltonJohn.

* BadassBoast: "My name is Giovanni Giorgio... but everybody calls me, ''Giorgio''."

* ElectronicMusic

* CoolOldGuy: He's in his mid-70s, and has a whole new audience thanks to the CareerResurrection brought on by Big Name Fans Music/DaftPunk.

** He does this in the Music/DaftPunk track "Giorgio By Moroder".

He also produced two albums for Music/{{Sparks}}, as well as scores and soundtracks for various movies and artists, including ''Film/MidnightExpress'' (which became the first all-electronic score to win an Academy Award), ''American Gigolo'' (TheOneWith "Call Me" by Debbie Harry), ''Film/CatPeople'' (the song of the same name became one of Music/DavidBowie's more popular songs, albeit with a poppier version on Bowie's ''Let's Dance'' album), or ''Film/{{Scarface 1983}}''. He also helped restore (and wrote a new soundtrack for) ''Film/{{Metropolis}}''. Another song which was produced by Giorgio (as well as part of the soundtrack) was the ''Film/TheNeverendingStory'' theme (sung by Limahl).
