Star Wars and Other Galactic Funk is a disco album by Meco released in 1977. The album uses various musical themes from the Star Wars soundtrack arranged as instrumental disco music. A single from the album, "Star Wars Theme/Cantina Band", reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on October 1, 1977, holding to that position for two weeks. Star Wars (15:49) LP side 1.

Superman & Other Galactic Heroes. Meco was one of the world's busiest people in 1978. In that year he followed up his successful take on the George Lucas and John Williams universe of Star Wars and Other Galactic Funk with two disco reinventions: Wizard of Oz and Superman & Other Galactic Heroes. This LP does not maintain the fun magic all the way through, as did his disco soundtrack to the 1939 MGM film. The "Main Title Theme" is a fun take on the John Williams song as is "The Flying Sequence and 'Can You read My Mind'. But Superman is not as universal as is Star.

For the distinctive album cover, Meco says he dreamed up the idea of two astronaut types grinding against each other. Illustrator Robert Rodriguez, who updated the iconic Quaker Oats packaging in the 1970s, created the artwork. Music Inspired by Star Wars and Other Galactic Funk was released on Millennium Records, an imprint of Casablanca, in the fall of 1977, just four months after Meco’s fateful trip to the cinema. By October, the album hit No. 13 on the pop charts on its way to 1 million-plus sales, outperforming Williams’s official Star Wars soundtrack. Meco makes like a superhero on cover of his ‘Superman and Other Galactic Heroes’. After the success of his Star Wars cover, Meco recorded disco-fied versions of Close Encounters, Wizard of Oz, and Superman themes, among others.

Superman and Other Galactic Heroes is the fourth album from a series of film-inspired disco records, by composer and producer Meco Monardo and was released in 1978. It was the first Meco record to be released on Casablanca Records, and again features orchestral arrangements by Harold Wheeler. As with his previous records, Meco sticks pretty closely to the formula he established with the popular Star Wars and Other Galactic Funk.
