About The Song
Today, we’re turning back the clock and revisiting one of Summer’s iconic hits, a song that perfectly captured the era’s infectious energy and playful intrigue – “Rumour Has It”. Released in 1977, the song wasn’t Summer’s biggest chart-topper, but it became a staple in the discotheques, a floor-filler guaranteed to get feet moving and hearts racing.
Now, for those of us who remember those heady days, the opening notes of “Rumour Has It” instantly transport us back to that pulsating world. The hypnotic bassline, a steady heartbeat under the shimmering synths, sets the scene for a night where anything is possible. Summer’s voice, at its most playful and alluring, whispers the first lines: “Rumour has it, rumour has it, there’s a whisper in the air…”
This is the essence of the song – a whisper, a hint, a rumor swirling around a potential love interest. It’s a feeling many of us can relate to, that delicious anticipation when you hear someone might be interested. But “Rumour Has It” isn’t just about the thrill of the chase; it’s about the hope that blossoms with that gossip. Summer, with her ever-so-slightly husky delivery, sings of her yearning for this mystery person to be someone special, someone she’s already noticed. “Looking for a girl like me, that’s what I heard you say…” she coos, a hopeful glint in her voice.
So, put on your dancing shoes, dust off your disco ball, and get ready to dive into “Rumour Has It.” It’s a song that reminds us of a simpler time, a time when the dance floor was a place of connection, electricity, and pure, unadulterated fun. Let Donna Summer’s voice guide you back to that era, and let the rumours swirl – they might just lead you somewhere magical.
