"'Crying at the Discoteque'" is a song by Swedish band Alcazar from their debut studio album, 'Casino' (2000). The track samples Sheila and B. Devotion's 1979 hit "Spacer". Alexander Bard produced the song and can be heard in the middle of this song (he is also featured in the music video). Released in April 2000, "Crying at the Discoteque" became Alcazar's first international hit single the following year, reaching number one in Hungary and the top 10 in Flanders, Germany, Ireland, Italy, and Switzerland.
Music video
A music video was produced to promote the single. It consists of Alcazar as a 1970s band during the process of their music video being filmed, with a theme that the band being on a deserted planet or wasteland. They are wearing outfits making them look futuristic with animal masked dancers in the background. During the filming things go wrong with the set designers getting in the way, the band disagreeing with the director, having script changes and general other mishaps.
