Don't fear the reaper in a medley.

As a matter of fact, if you have a guy singer, do the verses to Venus, but for the choruses do Hot Stuff to avoid the gender issue. And mash Burnin' into the Hot Stuff chorus.Like this:

Goddess on the mountain top
Burning like a silver flame
The summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name

Lookin' for some hot stuff, baby, this evenin'
(Burn out the day)
I need some hot stuff, baby, tonight
(Burn out the night)
I want some hot stuff, baby, this evenin'
(I can't see no reason to put up a fight)
I'm living for giving the devil his due)
Gotta have some hot stuff
Gotta have some love tonight
I need hot stuff
I want some hot stuff
I need some hot stuff
(And I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you
I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you)

Her weapons were her crystal eyes
Making every man a man
Black as the dark night she was
Got what no one else had
Ow

Lookin' for some hot stuff, baby, this evenin'
(Burn out the day)
I need some hot stuff, baby, tonight
(Burn out the night)
I want some hot stuff, baby, this evenin'
(I can't see no reason to put up a fight)
I'm living for giving the devil his due)
Gotta have some hot stuff
Gotta have some love tonight
I need hot stuff
I want some hot stuff
I need some hot stuff
(And I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you
I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you)


You know you love it.

Reaper Intro

All our times have come
Here, but now there, gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain

(We can be like they are)
Come on baby
(Don't fear the reaper)
Baby take my hand
(Don't fear the reaper)
We'll be able to fly
(Don't fear the reaper)
Baby I'm your man

Reaper middle instrumental section (keep 4 on the floor for dance floor)

Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew then disappeared
The curtains flew then he appeared...saying don't be afraid

Come on baby...and she had no fear
And she ran to him...then they started to fly
They looked backward and said goodby...she had become like they are
She had taken his hand...she had become like they are
Come on baby...don't fear the reaper

We had "Venus" in another medley and it fell pretty flat for us most nights, so we dropped it, even though I really enjoyed playing it and the way we sounded doing it.

Never tried "Hot Stuff", so hard to say. Depends who you're playing for. My instinct is that it is not one of the most recognizable disco-era songs for younger audiences. I don't think most young kids know it the way they know many KC and Sunshine Band or Bee Gees tunes. But for an older crowd, it could work quite well.
