General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - The claim that Lt. Gov. You've Gotta Love is disco-themed is not suitably referenced. Neither in the lead nor synopsis section is there an inline cite at the end of the sentence for this claim. Furthermore the article on the Independent Journal calls it disco/rap, not just disco. I think "disco beat" might be original research taken from the video as the Independent Journal doesn't go into that level detail. The Frozen claim is fine.
  • Interesting: Yes
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: @Guerillero: I was hoping to get this DYK on the pm slot for Wikipedia's Birthday (15 January). Might also consider adding the word rap as well as disco to its theme. Jolly Ω Janner 06:25, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

@Jolly Janner: Daily Beast: " disco song" and "Disco Campaign Ad", Independent Journal: " disco/rap music video", Statesman: "obvious homage to the classic opening of Saturday Night Fever, focused on David "Stayin' Alive" Dewhurst's feet", Houston Chronicle: "a country-disco mashup of a music video", Mediaite: "Then the disco beat and funk riffs kick in", Fort-Worth Telegram: "set to a dance-mix". Calling it Disco-Rap-Country-Dance is kinda overkill. What the majority of sources go with is Disco so I followed (and disco is a type of dance music). Following the summary style of wikipedia got me there not WP:SYNTH. Also I don't think it is that big of a jump from "Disco Campaign Ad" to "disco-themed campaign ad" which is more descriptive. --In actu (Guerillero) | My Talk 14:39, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
there is now an inline cite to Daily Beast which confirms the disco theme. Thank you for expanding on the description of its theme from several sources. I can now see that disco is the best way to describe it. Jolly Ω Janner 23:23, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
