how is the disco in US?
discos in Spain are Ok, the ones in the island of ibiza are very famous. but here in Barcelona i saw once that was prohibited the entrance to a disco to a group of chineses only because the fact that they were chineses. Now, speaking seriously, I felt very ashamed of that, because those acts of racism always infuriate me very much

There are probably several songs with those words, but I'm guessing you heard a techno-remix of ABBA's 'The Name of the Game'.
