At first glance this song is about going into a nightclub and killing everyone inside, but I think it's actually about taking those people hostage, and shooting them up with heroin.
"Dig a hole, push 'em in, tomorrow they'll be back again" is the best piece of evidence to support this interpretation. It implies injecting the hostages with needles and shooting them up, while the tomorrow part refers to these living hostages, not new random disco people tomorrow. Once they try it they'll need more (presumably, but I've known the government to lie about the addictive properties of drugs before so..?) and come back to where they got it the first time. This coincides the 'Boogie Fever' part of the song title as well.
"We were sent to let them know, It was time to let them go"
They let them see what their madness is like through heroin, and then released them.
Your interpretation of the song is way too literal. The song is about how rock killed disco, figuratively using the image of dancers at a discotheque being eliminated and eventually rock taking over at the end with the guitar segue.

Thoughts? Ridiculous? Dead-on? Implausible?
P.S. Further evidence is in the next song Ghouls Gone Wild.
