Holy smoke! You've done 13 of their songs! That has to be the most of any artist\group. When you put out your Top 10 individuals\small groups, I wonder who will be #1!
This was their biggest song ever. You literally couldn't turn on the radio for about three years after it was released without hearing it at some point. This was the opening theme of the incredible movie Saturday Night Fever, which turned John Travolta from a guy on a TV sitcom into a MAJOR film star. If you want to get an insight into the disco culture of late 70s New York City, you HAVE to watch that movie.
oof...love the sound track...hate the culture the movie portrayed...would never be released today. So much racism and sexism, but it is a product of the time.
nope..... hated disco with a passion... and it took me most of 40 years to appreciate this song... and I was a big fan of the Brothers Gibb for many years growing up. I always hoped that my 2 brothers would join me in a singing group but we had such different tastes and we were stubborn. Saturday night fever was a hated movie for decades. I did eventually watch it but still didnt care for it and couldnt stand travolta after Kotter.... I was so happy when they burned all those disco records in Chicago... but it just made those people go out and buy the records again... dance music ruined rock/prog rock... oh well different strokes...
"If this song doesn't move you, there's certainly something wrong with you." Man, you can't believe how hard I laughed 😂. And you're so right about it. The Bee Gees never had a bad song.
It is a good film but very dark, people tend to remember the music and dance but forget the suicide, gang-bang intended to incite jealousy and the girl living unhappily with a much older man as her sugar daddy.
Well it goes the other way too, when I was a kid in the eighties and nineties my mother's friend refused to believe I knew any songs from the fifties and sixties, flat out refused to believe me. I kept saying, why wouldn't I? It's all my mother plays and all that's on her radio station. I was born in the late seventies and Infact I had heard no other sound until I was thirteen EXCEPT fifties and sixties music, church music and a FEW seventies songs my dad liked when I visited him on weekends. Truely if you have nowhere to be exposed to something, no one who plays a style or an era of music, how would you know about it? Are either of you familiar with songs by Shirley Temple? Can you sing them word for word or tell me what movies they're from? Or tell me what Alice Faye sounded like when she sang? If you can, awesome, but if you have no idea, don't hang it on someone else because they weren't exposed to a style, he's young, maybe in his twenties. They usually listen to modern music
It's a song you hear in the background of movies or other things. Like he said he has heard it on a vine clip. But don't appreciate it until u really give it a listen. Happens to me with a lot of songs I am 27 and just started enjoying this song 3 years ago.
It's strange, I noticed decades ago that there seems to be a revival of music about 2 decades earlier all the time. At least I noticed it in the 70's when I was a teenager when there were 50's dances and music on the radio (people's parents are often 2 decades older), in the 80's, 60's music had a bit of a comeback, in the 90's, the 70's, in the '00's, the '80's, I didn't notice if it continued after that. Also I was exposed to music from old movies I saw on TV in the '60's and '70's, since they played a lot of old movies from the '30's through the '60's on TV, when there wasn't as much programming to fill up the TV time even though there were only a few channels on TV to choose from. So I knew a lot of old songs, at least those that were in movies. Also have noticed that you can assume that the stuff you know from living through a certain time period isn't necessarily common knowledge anymore. But on the other hand I can't say I know as much about popular music from the last two decades as I know about music before that. Not that I'm an expert about any time period!
Lucky enough to have met them all. They were/are the nicest people you’ll ever meet! Barry actually introduced himself to me. Inside, I was like, OF COURSE YOU ARE! Legends.
Louise Van Geyzel I lived and worked in Miami in the TV business. About 2 weeks after they spent a day at our studio, we were driving around Miami Beach and ran into Robin Gibb riding his bike. I said to my wife, “Hey, there’s Robin Gibb on a bike.” She said, “yeah, right!” I pulled alongside and said, “Hi Robin!” And we chatted for a bit. My wife was silent the whole time; she was in shock. It was hilarious!
Louise Van Geyzel And yes, I was VERY lucky! They signed my wife’s original Saturday Night Fever album which she then got Travolta to sign. He lives in our town.
they are all dead except Barry. Andy was my favorite he was oh so sexyyyy everyone forgets him but i never ever will. I am the same age as Andy would be now if he was still with us.
No really, its really worth the time to take in the BEE GEES Music Movie, SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER because you not only hear disco music at its greatest, but visually capture the disco scene it inspired.
When they did this soundtrack the group was on the brink of quitting the industry because they thought no one wanted hear their type of music....the rest is history!!!! They were stronger than ever!!!
To me, the Bee Gee's defined disco in the '70's. The entire soundtrack to "Saturday Night Fever" is a sheer masterpiece. Only Barry is left now and I really do miss them. Timeless music!
The Gibb brothers are the best harmonies in the music business! The first time I heard the Bee Gees they where young and their song Massachusetts. Then the seventies came around and the movie Saturday Night Fever turned John Travolta and the Bee Gees into superstars. Disco was born and yes I am giving away my age when I say the Disco era was one of the favorite periods in my life. I see you like it too Jayvee! Enjoy!
It's fantastic seeing younger people appreciating the older songs. I grew up with disco and I love it. Of course I like anything I can dance to, and disco has such a great, prominent beat, it's impossible to not move to it. :)
After all the hundreds of times I've heard it...I listened to it like you did, like a newcomer. I never could learn the love the falsetto (high voice) of the vocals, but DAMMM that groove is undeniable and the production is phenomenal.
How have you not heard this before mate? I honestly didn’t think I was that old!! Please review The Platters - only you and the great pretender. Seriously different sound but you appreciate vocal skills!
I love seeing you react to the Bee Gees, they were some of the greatest songwriters of all time. You should definitely check out Tragedy, it has one of Barry's greatest vocals. You Win Again is another classic, from when they reinvented themselves in the eighties, that's one of my favourites.
And that my friend, is why this was voted the #1 dance song for the entire decade of the 70's. I believe it also ranked at #99 of the all time best songs ever written ;) At the height of this period, they were selling 1million albums a week, which led to a backlash. It got to the point that radio stations started having BG's free weekends where they wouldn't play them at all. !st time that had every happened with a group. This is also to this day the most played song on the planet, it gets played somewhere on the radio every 10-15 seconds worldwide.
This was the big change for the Brothers Gibb. They went from their 60’s sound to the new disco sound that made them a true super group. A request for a 60’s group that you still hear in movies today, the Chambers Brothers and Time Has Come Today.
That song makes my tummy churn, does something to me. Love the Bee Gees, geniuses and such tragedies in the family. Nobody like them. Robin lived in the next town from me.
Most airplayed song around the globus radio station - every 20 seconds - this plays everywhere around the world and for sure it is the most iconic song of the 70´s decade. It’s an indelible cultural hallmark. None of that happens if that opening scene, is set to any song other than “Stayin’ Alive. I can’t imagine one single production tweak that could make “Stayin’ Alive” work better. Everything is exactly where it should be. “Stayin’ Alive” is one of those songs that sounds like it’s always existed. It’s crazy to think that human beings had to make it up out of nothing. It’s a part of our shared cultural heritage now - one of those pop miracles that just never gets old, never wears off, never loses its charge. It remains alive. And indeed one of the most covered pop songs in history (Sherlock Holmes, Airplane, American Idol, The Voice) there are exist minimum thousands of cover versions only here on RUclips.
Not really THAT crazy since the movie is actually very dark and gritty and deals with subjects such as rape and domestic violence. Robin probably couldn't stomach it.
I saw the movie when it first came out. Hated the movie. Would have walked out of the theater if I was alone. Loved the music and the dancing. Bee Gees are my favorite group. Hated every other part of the movie. The music was the only good thing about the movie.
When people think of disco, they think of this song! I was just a kid back then but my older sisters were going to discos and playing The Bee Gees on the stereo all the time! These guys were awesome.
You should try out some of the later music from the 80's and 90's "Wish You Were Here" is about their brother Andy who died, "One" "This Were I Came in" and "You Win Again" it is amazing that their music was in the 60's. 70's, 80's, and 90's
The good ol 80s music roller skating and the funk was unique I'm so glad lived it and great that younger generation gets a bit of what we had back then ..never gets old and gets you moving ..👍
Love your reaction to this song...you even towards the end did a John Travolta move with your arm. Like many comments below if you watch Saturday Night Fever you'll find many of the songs you have reacted to.
Man, Saturday Night Fever is just an astonishing classic. One of those movies that you go in expecting a cheesy Grease style movie and end up just floored by the draining emotion, darkness, love, cruelty, comedy and humanity in it. (Well, if you watch the infinitely better 'R' rather than 'PG' version. Don't get mixed up and watch the shoddy sequel Jayvee, if you're reading this!)
Such a cool opening scene from Saturday Night Fever with John Travolta as Tony Manero bopping down those Brooklyn streets under the el with that paint can in his hand to the beat of The Bee Gees “Staying Alive”. UNFORGETTABLE 🕺
I would really love to hear the original version of this song. The Bee Gees originally released this as "Buried Alive". Shortly after release, they saw that the track stalled - no club play, radio didn't care. Three weeks into release, they pulled it off the shelves and went back to the studio to fix it. Changing one word, from "buried" to "staying" made the song instantly catch fire. If you pay attention to the lyrics, you will see how "buried" makes so much more sense
I can never listen to this song without seeing the image of John Travolta strutting down the sidewalk of a NY city street. He was so damn cool & this song was just the greatest disco song ever!
I was born in 72 so my earliest memories included the Bee Gees and the disco era. I thank God everyday for being born in the early 70's. I was there for the beginning of rap, hip hop, break dancing, disco, punk, heavy metal, grunge... all of it.
JayVee gonna go get some bell bottoms now guys, cause on this channel...He’s 🎵 STAYIN ALIIIIIIIIVE IY IY YEAH! 🎵 Come on, you guys know you just sung that part 🤣 Great reaction brother!
My beegees playlist ruclips.net/p/PLa7uIZdsmEiNqtOEhh5QyEuyEE_l_GuGx
I really Love watching all of your Reaction videos!!
Holy smoke! You've done 13 of their songs! That has to be the most of any artist\group. When you put out your Top 10 individuals\small groups, I wonder who will be #1!
Love to see your reaction to all the Bee Gees music, your funny too, so glad I can watch you puts a smile on my face 😁👍
I miss those days...omg I miss them
Watch Saturday Night Fever to see disco in that era.....I really miss it!!!
It's not just Disco, it's THE quintessential Disco song of all time.
Yes it is!!!!
You said it!
There are so many pop culture references in TV and movies of this track. How young do you have to be to not know it?
It is more than a disco song. It evokes an entire era.
Absolutely!
“You should be dancin’ “ by them as well. That song is guaranteed to get you moving 😊
I love this that song!
😀👍😀
You beat Me to it
That should be accompanied by the video of Travolta's dance moves!
Fantastic dance moves in sat night fever by John. To you should be dancing. Mesmerising, owesome. Brilliant. 🤣🤣🤣🤣♥️
Stayin Alive is the song you’re supposed to sing while performing emergency CPR on someone....it’s got the perfect beat!❤️❤️❤️
Lol The office skit🤠
I just rewatched....forgot all about that one!😂
First I was afraid, I was petrified...
DMB088 no, it goes ‘ah ah ah ah staying alive’
@@DMB088 isn't that I will survive? Which would make sense if you were performing CPR on yourself 🙂
fun fact: Barry was called 'The Lion' because of that perfect 70's mane of hair
It WAS Perfect ❣️❣️❣️
I was looking at how perfect it was in this video. Hubba Hubba
Luscious!
My mom used to call him Furry Face, lol.
My grandma who was a hairdresser would weep for that hair. She said tie as such a waste on a man.
The start of the movie with travolta walking, this song playing, now it goes hand in hand
Yes, and don't forget the scene in the movie Airplane also.
Walking with a can of paint, no less. Eats two slices, one on top of the other. Travolta is so cool. A man on a mission.
Travolta was so perfect for that role.
Iconic movie intro
@@RayRay-zt7bj I also remember Russel Crowe grooving to this song in Virtuosity.
What Led Zeppelin did for rock and roll the Bee Gees did for disco.
Wax Audio channel has the Mashup of that and this is the acdc one here.

Robin Gibb wrote the song I Started A Joke
oof...love the sound track...hate the culture the movie portrayed...would never be released today. So much racism and sexism, but it is a product of the time.
The song was also used (of course) in the movie Staying Alive (1983), the sequel to Saturday Night Fever.
@@DougRayPhillips i love that movie. Cynthia and fiona are amazing
I prefer Night Fever =/
Absolutely my friend, this song PACKED THE DANCE FLOOR and every guy thought he was John Travolta on the dance floor.
It's so sad and ironic that the oldest brother "Barry" is the only one left.
I feel for him. The last man standing.
I was literally just thinking that while I was watching the video!
I know.... So sad.
He is now
Sir Barry Gibb 😊❤
(I don't care - I'm still in love with Andy. To the point I go by Andie since 7th grade)
Yes, sad. Life is so unpredictable.
Bee Gees. Classic. Loved them.
Even us rockers danced to this in discos under the disco ball...
nope..... hated disco with a passion... and it took me most of 40 years to appreciate this song... and I was a big fan of the Brothers Gibb for many years growing up. I always hoped that my 2 brothers would join me in a singing group but we had such different tastes and we were stubborn. Saturday night fever was a hated movie for decades. I did eventually watch it but still didnt care for it and couldnt stand travolta after Kotter.... I was so happy when they burned all those disco records in Chicago... but it just made those people go out and buy the records again... dance music ruined rock/prog rock... oh well different strokes...
I know I did. I had full out Bon Jovi hair and still loved these disco grooves...all of my friends did, too.
As a rock and metal nut,THIS was my guilty pleasure man.
@@TheCornishCockney I think regardless of what music you listen to this song is just awesome
👍💕
The most iconic song of all time.
You ain't heard The Bee Gees til you've heard Stayin Alive.
ruclips.net/video/OrlWWrSwaB8/видео.html
Aqui no Brasil tem pessoas q n conhecem o grupo Bee Gees, mas com certeza 100% já escutaram Stayn Alive
I'm 57...this is the song that defined my childhood in the 70s. I enjoyed watching your reaction...and your appreciation!
I'm 57 too. I'm not sure what song defined my childhood though.
Me too!! I'm 56
Well i'm 50, and Gail, you sure don't look 57 in this pic!! Woo woo! :D
57 here too! A big part of the soundtrack to our youth!
Im 56 this song always throws me right back to 7th grade.
"If this song doesn't move you, there's certainly something wrong with you." Man, you can't believe how hard I laughed 😂. And you're so right about it. The Bee Gees never had a bad song.
quincy jones himself said when he heard this--they've found it -this is the sound we were looking for!!
You HAVE to see the movie “ Saturday Night Fever” This song is about John Travoltas character. Great music. Great Actors. Great Story.
did you notice that at 4:27, J's hands just naturally, spontaneously started doing that iconic Saturday Night Fever hand/arm gesture?! OMG! PERFECT!
@@karikells lol and had to turn the volume up!
@@aoleon3908 Wasn't he carrying a can of paint?
It is a good film but very dark, people tend to remember the music and dance but forget the suicide, gang-bang intended to incite jealousy and the girl living unhappily with a much older man as her sugar daddy.
Interestingly sylvester Stallone directed the sequel ‘staying alive’. Who would have thought!
The beat's irresistible!
.... This is the beat that's in my head whenever I'm doing CPR!
ONE CAN NEVER GET TIRED, OF WATCHING YOU, WATCH THE BEE GEES!!!
That song in Saturday Night Fever, made John Travolta a house hold name!
Welcome Back Kotter made his debut.
Saturday Night Fever was THE MOVIE and THE ALBUM of the disco era. This song opens the movie.
did you notice that at 4:27, J's hands just naturally, spontaneously started doing that iconic Saturday Night Fever hand/arm gesture?! OMG! PERFECT!
Kari Kells I did! You can’t help it.
Disco JV with the pointing! Where's your platform shoes!
Can't get enough of the BeeGees!
And at least one gold chain with a medallion!
When JV started pointing I was DYING @Randal Johnson
In 150 years, they will still hear this, category one of the most Iconic songs.
I never thought I'd see the day that someone of this age would not have heard of this song. Bizarre.
I don't buy it.
Well it goes the other way too, when I was a kid in the eighties and nineties my mother's friend refused to believe I knew any songs from the fifties and sixties, flat out refused to believe me. I kept saying, why wouldn't I? It's all my mother plays and all that's on her radio station.

Truely if you have nowhere to be exposed to something, no one who plays a style or an era of music, how would you know about it?
Are either of you familiar with songs by Shirley Temple? Can you sing them word for word or tell me what movies they're from? Or tell me what Alice Faye sounded like when she sang?
If you can, awesome, but if you have no idea, don't hang it on someone else because they weren't exposed to a style, he's young, maybe in his twenties. They usually listen to modern music

ted ritola I love this track. Queens don’t stop me now are on par for me.
It's also a gritty movie with the sexual assault and suicide/accident.
did you notice that at 4:27, J's hands just naturally, spontaneously started doing that iconic Saturday Night Fever hand/arm gesture?! OMG! PERFECT!
And this was written for the movie
When they did this soundtrack the group was on the brink of quitting the industry because they thought no one wanted hear their type of music....the rest is history!!!! They were stronger than ever!!!
Man, after hearing this banger you need to react to “Tragedy”, one of their best disco themes.
IKR?
Love the BeeGees and their brother Andy Gibb. What handsome and talented guys they were and Barry still is.
I think Tragedy is their opus
Yessssss! The best BeeGees song. It is amazing.
Great song too!
To me, the Bee Gee's defined disco in the '70's. The entire soundtrack to "Saturday Night Fever" is a sheer masterpiece. Only Barry is left now and I really do miss them. Timeless music!
Sweetie you are the man
Stayin’ Alive: The anthem of 2020.
I think your followup to this song should be the BeeGees "You Should Be Dancing" :)
Yes, yes , yes! The grooviest of them all.
I am 53 and was BLESSED to live in the Disco era!🥰
I love watching you enjoy “new” music- thanks for making me smile during these crazy times🌻
Barry 75 and still sings like this. Amazing voice.
The magic of that song, and your amazing reaction, made this a joy to behold.
I agree. This young man is awesome.
I remember going to the 'disco' & looking forward to listening to The Bee Gees, ALL of their songs!!!!!
I love the oldies, the Bee Gees are just one of my favorite groups, glad you like them Jay! And the Carpenters!
Honey you can tell by the way I use my walk, I'm a woman's man, no time to talk!
The BeeGees summed it up right there fellas!!!
The Gibb brothers are the best harmonies in the music business! The first time I heard the Bee Gees they
where young and their song Massachusetts. Then the seventies came around and the movie Saturday Night
Fever turned John Travolta and the Bee Gees into superstars. Disco was born and yes I am giving away my

Jayvee get your hands on the entire soundtrack for the movie Saturday Night Fever! Every song is
good!
No matter what song you play your smile lights up the whole room
This song was played at the beginning of "Saturday Night Fever" when John Travolta made his iconic walk.
Next up for Jayvee to review. Chic's Le Freak, the perfect disco song. I will be waiting.
I agree. I love that song!
Another roller skating song.
I didn't know somebody in the world had never heard this...
Danced to this in Studio 54 NY. And danced listening to this now. Thank you.
The best!
✌🏼🙏❤️
The Bee Gees are incredible 🎉...I feel they are phenomenal...no group will ever be as great as they are!
It's fantastic seeing younger people appreciating the older songs. I grew up with disco and I love it. Of course I like anything I can dance to, and disco has such a great, prominent beat, it's impossible to not move to it. :)

Bee gees - Tragedy
One of the bee gees was married to Lulu known for "Shout " she was an amazing young scottish singer in the 60s and beyond
Maurice was married to her.
She also sang To sir with love.
My mum was the same age, same era in the 60s in Glasgow, what a time for music and dancing
Barry would love to see you do this if he hasnt already.
OMG! That movie and its opening scene with John Travolta walking down the streets...whatta move! I have fallen in love with him forever!
How have you not heard this before mate? I honestly didn’t think I was that old!! Please review The Platters - only you and the great pretender. Seriously different sound but you appreciate vocal skills!
And Smoke Gets in Your Eyes!
Agree! I love Only You!
meladonna and Randal, Hell yeah fantastic tracks too!! Just trying to plant some seeds with this young fella.
I think every person on earth has this song
Oh he's just acting like he's never heard it. At 4:27 he starts doing the finger pointing dance that's directly related to this song.
Yes...the BeeGees are how I got through my workouts. I was a body builder in the 1970 and early 1980s......great to work out to music......
How Deep Is Your Love By The Bee Jees Please And Thank You Very Much
I've already done that one I made a beegees playlist check it out
@@JayveeTV K Thank you
That was great. Only one pause..well done..lol...hahaha.... The fab Bee Gees. I loved the disco era. Saturday Night Fever is worth watching.
I love seeing you react to the Bee Gees, they were some of the greatest songwriters of all time. You should definitely check out Tragedy, it has one of Barry's greatest vocals. You Win Again is another classic, from when they reinvented themselves in the eighties, that's one of my favourites.
It is a sheer pleasure to watch you with delight over music that I've had enjoyment of for nearly 45 years!
Can't wait to see you learn and hear more!
More Bee Gees You should be dancing and Jive Talking
JJJJJJIve talking?
I think he already did “Jive Talking.”
And that my friend, is why this was voted the #1 dance song for the entire decade of the 70's.

Oh yeah! Step out on the dance floor with that song and you are transformed. Thanks for the nostalgia!

Well said.
The Bee Gees and John Travolta were simply a once in a lifetime combination!! 👌
I think it’s crazy that Robin Gibb said he never watched the complete movie.
Not really THAT crazy since the movie is actually very dark and gritty and deals with subjects such as rape and domestic violence. Robin probably couldn't stomach it.
I saw the movie when it first came out. Hated the movie. Would have walked out of the theater if I was alone. Loved the music and the dancing. Bee Gees are my favorite group. Hated every other part of the movie. The music was the only good thing about the movie.
He smacks my hair.....come on that alone is worth the price of admission.
When people think of disco, they think of this song! I was just a kid back then but my older sisters were going to discos and playing The Bee Gees on the stereo all the time! These guys were awesome.
I too can’t believe you have never heard this song before. Anything by The Bee Gees is truly awesome. Try the hit “ You Win Again” it is great 👍
💯🙌🏿
All that glorious hair! Takes me back to my 70's when I was a young woman. Smooth and sexy!
You should try out some of the later music from the 80's and 90's "Wish You Were Here" is about their brother Andy who died, "One" "This Were I Came in" and "You Win Again" it is amazing that their music was in the 60's. 70's, 80's, and 90's
You Win Again one of my favourites also Spirits having flown
Love You Win Again
Another great song is a duet of Barry Gibb & Michael Jackson "All In Your Name" which is AMAZING!!
The good ol 80s music roller skating and the funk was unique I'm so glad lived it and great that younger generation gets a bit of what we had back then ..never gets old and gets you moving ..👍
Love your reaction to this song...you even towards the end did a John Travolta move with your arm. Like many comments below if you watch Saturday Night Fever you'll find many of the songs you have reacted to.
From the 60s through the 90s, the Bee Gees were great! They'll always stay popular in my book!🎶🎶
This is from the movie Saturday Night Fever with a young John Travolta. Oldie but a goody!
My first R rated movie
mandy gray I think I snuck in to see it....
Man, Saturday Night Fever is just an astonishing classic. One of those movies that you go in expecting a cheesy Grease style movie and end up just floored by the draining emotion, darkness, love, cruelty, comedy and humanity in it. (Well, if you watch the infinitely better 'R' rather than 'PG' version. Don't get mixed up and watch the shoddy sequel Jayvee, if you're reading this!)
@@PeterEvansPeteTakesPictures apparently the article that inspired the film was fake, written by a Londoner and a figment of his imagination.
Such a cool opening scene from Saturday Night Fever with John Travolta as Tony Manero bopping down those Brooklyn streets under the el with that paint can in his hand to the beat of The Bee Gees “Staying Alive”. UNFORGETTABLE 🕺
must have been a curse for Barry to have a voice like that and then to look as good as he did.💚
albertzappa This is Barry’s falsetto voice he has a normal chest voice as well. Check out their song “ Words”.
If it was a curse, I think it's one Barry rather enjoyed.
I would really love to hear the original version of this song. The Bee Gees originally released this as "Buried Alive". Shortly after release, they saw that the track stalled - no club play, radio didn't care. Three weeks into release, they pulled it off the shelves and went back to the studio to fix it.
Changing one word, from "buried" to "staying" made the song instantly catch fire.
If you pay attention to the lyrics, you will see how "buried" makes so much more sense
I'm surprised someone hasn't heard one of the biggest disco hits of the 70s. Ok, it's 43 years old but gets still played here and there.
Over 40 years old and this song is still, as young people say, pure fire! It's the greatest disco song ever!
This is what great music sounds like.
If the BeeGees are played in a British club it'll fill the dance floor. It's an anthem!
“Stayin’ Alive” always puts me in a good mood, too. It’s beyond catchy-it’s compelling.
Used to DJ in the pub on the south bank of Brisbane, Australia where the BeeGees got their start. Very proud of what the boys achieved.
Robin's solo song "Juliet" is another good one!
This song is legend. Even I turned up the volume to get the full sound. Glad you reacted to this. This falsetto is epic, so is the groove.
Cheers!
One of the best groups ever to come out of Australia!!!
They are not Australian, they where born on the Isle of Man between England and Ireland.
We did dance to this, the Hustle, the Bus Stop, the Bump, all that. That four-on-the-floor disco beat kept you moving.
wow Bee Gees Saturday Night Fever soundtrack , I love the movie!
The Brothers Gibb are EVERYTHING. They deserve every prop.
The scene in the movie "Airplane", Ted is telling the story of how he met Elaine.
❤️🤣
Awesome film
Oh my goodness YES!!!!!!
When she would sit on his face and wriggle.
I can never listen to this song without seeing the image of John Travolta strutting down the sidewalk of a NY city street. He was so damn cool & this song was just the greatest disco song ever!
It’s so great watching you listen to this! Your reaction is spot on!
I was born in 72 so my earliest memories included the Bee Gees and the disco era. I thank God everyday for being born in the early 70's. I was there for the beginning of rap, hip hop, break dancing, disco, punk, heavy metal, grunge... all of it.
Your videos give me life! Love experiencing these songs "for the first time" again with you! Love your genuine and joyful spirit!
2020's anthem! Due to COVID-19 I gotta do everything to be "Stayin' Alive."
JayVee gonna go get some bell bottoms now guys, cause on this channel...He’s 🎵 STAYIN ALIIIIIIIIVE IY IY YEAH! 🎵 Come on, you guys know you just sung that part 🤣 Great reaction brother!
