SONG(S) OF THE WEEK: Scissor Sisters and John Legend

Wait. When did it become 1976 again? Both the Scissor Sisters' new single "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'" (Universal Motown) and the new John Legend single "Save Room" (Getting Out Our Dreams/Sony Urban) sound like the past 30 years of popular music never happened. The Sisters have crafted the answer to the Bee Gees' "You Should Be Dancing," as Jake Shears and Ana Matronic harmonize like a truck full of Gibb brothers over a disco groove that will make you want to bust out The Hustle. Legend, on the other hand, sounds like he's swiped a Burt Bacharach song - complete with organ solos and glossy background vocals - from Dionne Warwick. Can a Jimmy Carter revival be far behind?
