That's the Way (I Like It) was released by KC and the Sunshine Band in 1975 and became one of the defining hits of the disco era, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Its simple, repetitive chorus made it easy to sing along to and easy to sample, and it has since appeared in films, adverts and party playlists. On social video platforms the hook is now reused as a short approval sound, detached from the full song but still instantly recognisable from its groove and chant.
