"'One-Two-Five'" is a song by 10cc released as a first single in 1980 from the album 'Look Hear?'. It is a reference to disco's 125 beats per minute tempo.

Release and promotion



"One-Two-Five" was released as a first single outside America ahead of the album 'Look Hear?'. The song was promoted by a music video directed by Russell Mulcahy based on the Eric Stewart's idea of 'disco-ectomy'.

The single failed to chart in the band's native UK, which was the first time since 1974's 'The Original Soundtrack' that a lead single wouldn't become a hit. However, the song became a top 10 hit in Norway.
