"Sharks Are Cool, Jets Are Hot" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - The Quick

• "Sharks Are Cool, Jets Are Hot" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - The Quick

Colin Campsie and George McFarlane (both associated with Girls Can't Help It, Haywoode, Endgames) worked successfully with a studio group titled, The Quick in 1979 on "Sharks Are Cool, Jets Are Hot" - a fantastic driving number with a touch of "West Side Story" meets The Club.

The track was highly successful and one of the great send off tracks of the disco era during the close of 1979. The track was followed by a few more hits by The Quick - "Young Men Drive Fast" and the electronic and funk tribal number, "Zulu". The team moved on to producing an 80's feel with a few bands and vocalists throughout the 80's.

I have taken "Sharks Are Cool, Jets Are Hot" and grabbed several pieces that stood out to me most and ReStructured them into a new dance piece that contains most of the excitement with a new twist.
