Yeah, I guess the stuff on Mirrors isn't danceable, but that's because it's
still BOC and it's still rock. It's not as if they had tried to make it real
disco. My feeling is that they (or rather "he", since we're probably talking
about Werman here) just wanted to make it sound a little like what was on
the market at the time, in hope, maybe, that it would help sales.
        As for it sounding funky, I dunno, never thought of that actually.
I'll have to give the album another listen and check that out... hmm...
