Bee Gees 'You Should Be Dancing' - Get on down party people!

Bee Gees played an undeniable role in the emergence of Disco, notably through their involvement with the soundtrack for the film 'Saturday Night Fever', Starring John Travolta as Tony Manero, 

The films name was derived from the title of a 1976 New York magazine story 'Tribal Rites of the New Saturday Night' about the disco scene written by British journalist Nik Cohn. 

The Bee Gees weren't even involved in the movie in the beginning Travolta told Vanity Fair in 2007. 

The film was a critical and commercial success, grossing more than $20 million within the first few weeks of its release on Dec. 16, 1977

The "Saturday Night Fever” soundtrack album sold 25 million copies between 1977 and 1980, which at that time the most copies sold of any sound recording ever.

To date, the album has sold over 40 million copies in total.

Even after 10 hours on your feet these songs give you that little extra. Glad to see these songs are still going.

When I was 14 years old in the 9th grade back in 1998, in my drama class, the teacher gave us an assignment/project to pick a song to lip sync to in front of the class. I had always loved this song so I decided that this was the song I was going to do.  I got my mom to take me to a vintage clothing store and I bought an awesome 70's disco outfit to wear...white polyester bell bottom pants, platform shoes, and a brown yellow and orange polyester disco shirt with a big wide pointed butterfly collar...When the day came and it was my turn to perform, I walked into the classroom in my disco outfit and started lip syncing and dancing to Staying Alive.

The whole class went crazy, everyone was clapping and cheering...they loved it and my performance was voted everyone's favorite...needless to say I got an A, lol.  I was nervous as heck to do it because I had always been very shy at school, but I'm so glad I did. I was really proud of myself for having the courage to do it. I will remember that day for the rest of my life. ????

This has always been one of my all time favorites.  Bee Gees have a very unique sound, great vocals.

This video reminds me that, in 45 years, I’ve never tired of hearing this song. It’s my go-to wake up song, energizing me every time.

I danced to it this morning with my nine-month-old grandson.

It also reminds me of my first love. We met in 1982. I was 18. He was 23. He was tall, thin, with facial features that resembled John Travolta. He smoothed his dark hair back, wore a similar black leather jacket and heeled shoes like Tony in SNF. He walked like him and tried to sound like him. 

Although I found this behavior to be weird, I was fascinated with him and taken in by his charm. We dated for two years.

He charmed women of all ages, with his handsome smile and never-ending terms of endearment. They blushed and giggled, perhaps because it seemed that John Travolta himself was paying them attention. I was somewhat jealous at times. But, mostly impressed with how easily he made people, especially the ladies, smile.

37 years have passed since I last saw him.

I think of him often. I wonder if he’s outgrown his Tony phase or if the Tony persona stuck with him permanently. Thinking of him at the age of 63 strutting by like Tony wearing a black leather jacket, heeled boots, and slicked back hair brings brings a huge smile to my face.

One of the finest song coming out of the Disco era.  A great song to listen to while power walking.

You forget how talented John travolta is sometimes.  He was amazing in this movie. His dance moves are incredible

I was 20 in 1977, and although disco was sort of on the outside, this movie took it and made a parody of it, and actually increased the "Disco fever" and increased the popularity of the Bee Gees.  It hyped up the disco scene just as platforms were getting higher an higher!

Great "Tribute" video!!! Love it! I was only about 7 when the film came out.  I was living in CA. My mother was from Brooklyn. She came home crying, saying, "I miss NY". We went back 2 years later.  Thanks again for posting this, it put a huge smile on my face!
