It's an insanely catchy song, but I'm so sick of it from overplay.

There was never a topic on this song??? I wore out the '45 back in the day. I still love the song some 30+ years later.

You can't hear this song and not think of the beginning of Saturday Night Fever.

Hit #4 on the R&B chart.

It’s 1977 and disco is red-hot, as is the opening sequence for box office smash Saturday Night Fever. As the Bee Gees track revs up, you can feel the electricity and sensual tension, as its first verse syncs perfectly with Tony Manero’s (star John Travolta) purposeful strutting on his way to work in Brooklyn. “Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk/ I’m a woman’s man, no time to talk/ Music loud and women warm/ I’ve been kicked around since I was born” sing the brothers Gibb in their inimitable falsettos. Nearly 50 years later, the song — about surviving while pursuing your dreams — still resonates. The second of four No. 1s pulled from the film’s groundbreaking soundtrack, “Stayin’ Alive” has since become the most lasting of the movie’s many pop culture moments — and of disco-pop’s enduring imprint. — G.M.
