Why do some people on here claim they are/were Aussies. All three NEVER gave up their British citizenships. They only lived in Australia for 9 years. They even spoke with English accents. Barry spent most of his childhood in the British Isles and the twins were nearly 9 when they left England for Australia in 1958.

Interesting tid-bit, they didn't actually write the songs FOR the movie. They were approached for new songs for a dance movie, that was in early stages. They sent songs they'd already written, but hadn't recorded yet. Barry said he thought one reason SNF was such a success, is because the scriptwriters wrote the scenes to fit the music (rather than what's usually done, where a songwriter tries to write a song to fit an already filmed scene).

Despite popular belief, the name was not specifically a reference to “Brothers Gibb”.

The way I interpret this song, is that LIFE IS MOTION; therefore, STAYING ALIVE, is them singing that they are in motion - THE WAY THEY WALK, TALK, DANCE, BEING KICKED AND REJECTED is LIVING and SUSTAINS THEM TO STAY LIVING. Notice how they act this out in the video, they are literally IN MOTION, WALKING around buildings shot up and in ruins, stopping just long enough to remind the listeners, they are STAYING ALIVE and still in motion. This song is very addictive and the beat demands MOTION from the listener. So, in a beautiful ironic twist, they singing about STAYING ALIVE, also compels their fans to do the same. This is R&B on steroids, even though it's Disco.

Iconic. Killer bass line. 104 bpm drum loop. Using violins to accent the keyboards in places other producers would likely fill with guitars gives a lightness in the overall sway of this song that sets it apart. Dig the timbale accents too! The music evokes images of the spinning dancers it inspired. Disco was such a big thing in the middle 1970's, the elementary school I went to taught us how to dance "The Hustle" on its annual carnival day. "The Hustle" was the dance that went with "The Hustle", an instrumental disco song by Van McCoy that went to number one in the summer of 1975, opening the door for more disco music, like the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack two years later. Another track by The Bee Gees from that album that is more than worthy of a reaction is "Jive Talkin'".

As other mentions, the lead singer on this one is Barry, the only brother still alive. If you want to hear them sing in the lower register then go Predisco with songs from 1967 to 1974 with songs like I Started A Joke (Robin on Lead), Words (Barry on lead) or I've Gotta Get A Message To You (Shared Lead), in 1973 they recorded a song called Elisa, here each brother had a verse, to my knowledge the only song where this happened. Also Past Disco 1981 to 2001 nearly all songs where with the lower registry voices. My favorites of this periode would by My Lovers Prayer, Alone, The Only Love, You Win Again, For Whom The Bell Tolls, Wedding Day, Still Waters, I Will, Bodyguard, Happy Ever After and Rings Around The Moon. These all have either Barry, Robin or shared lead. Maurice also had songs where he was lead, a good example would be Man In The Middle, a song that captures the thing about him being the man in between the 2 ego's of Barry and Robin.

"Stayin' Alive" was written and recorded by the Bee Gees in 1977 specifically for the "Saturday Night Fever Motion Picture Soundtrack", It was the opening track. It was one of the Bee Gees signature songs and one of their most recognizable. When the brothers were just starting out Robin was usually the lead vocalist because of his clear Vibrato BUT at the height of their popularity (mid to late 70's early 80's) it was Barry Gibb and his R & B falsetto that gave them their signature sound. An interesting piece of trivia, when medical professionals are training for CPR they are recommended to play this song in their head because this song has about 104 beats per minute and it is recommended to perform between 100 and 120 chest compressions per minute while doing CPR.

Great reaction. BeeGees stands for the people who discovered them: Bill Gates, Bill Good, the oldest brother Barry Gibb, their mother Barbara Gibb and later for the Brothers Gibb. In this clip: the tallest guy in the middle with the big hair and beard, the lead singer: Barry Gibb born September 1, 1946, the only surviving Gibb brother. Guy with long hair and red t-shirt: Robin Gibb, born December 22, 1949-passed away May 20, 2012, balding guy with beard Robin's fraternal twin brother Maurice (pronounced "Morris") Gibb, born December 22, 1949-passed away January 12, 2003. They also had another, younger, brother Andy Gibb, born March 5, 1958-passed away March 10, 1988. The three oldest brothers were born on the Isle of Man (UK). Oldest brother Barry got seriously burned when he accidentally pulled boiling tea over himself at 18 months old. He was in coma for a while, nearly died and was in hospital for many months. Because of this, he did not learn to talk until after the twins were born. Later the family moved to Manchester and from there they emigrated to Australia in 1958, right after Andy was born. Their musical career, which they had started as little kids, didn't lead to international success so they moved back to the UK in 1966. Then they had a string of big hits, until they temporarily broke up around 1970 for 15 months. Started back up, looking for a new sound which they first found in 1974 with the transitional album "Mr. Natural". After that "Main Course" was the first album that moved them into a new direction: more rhythm&blues, dance music like with great hits like Nights on Broadway and Jive Talkin'. From 1976 on they went all out with falsetto driven dance music which lead to their biggest commercial success as they provided classic songs for the Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack (1977 Stayin' Alive, How Deep is Your Love, Night Fever amongst them). You should react to the 1979 live version of Stayin' Alive, too kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZ_MiYaebNuKiKs

No, the lead singer is Barry and I believe this was made for the "Saturday Night Fever" movie. The Bee Gees wrote & sang their own music, but they couldn't read nor write music. So that is real talent! And no auto tune. Barry's not talking about himself being a "woman's man"; unless he's talking about his wife Linda, of whom he's been married to for over 50 years. He wrote the words for John Travolta's role. This was 1977. The Bee Gees had a lot of hits in the 80's as well, past the disco era. They weren't just about disco. And they had a younger brother, Andy, who had his own solo career. He had performed with them on stage & was going to join the group. He died at age 30. Barry is the only one left. RIP Maurice, Robin & Andy. xxx

History Check: The subject matter of 'Stayin' Alive' is about survival in the streets of New York inspired by the Nic Cohn paperback Tribal Rites of the Saturday Night who was the plot for the classic Saturday Night Fever Movie. Since 1977 it is the fifth biggest single of all time with 31 million single sold worldwide 👍 It is claimed from in a survey of all radiostations around the globe as most airplayed song of all time in 2017- 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 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 This epic video was filmed on MGM Studios in Culver City in Hollywood California in the filmset ruins of That’s Entertainment starring Fred Astaire from 1974 during the same time when the BeeGees filming the Beatles movie, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band 1978 on the lot at the same time.

They did have hits in the 60's as well. I saw them in Australia before the 2000 Olympics - awesome, just 3 guys and their instruments, kept it simple. In the suburb of Redcliffe in Brisbane Australia they have a laneway that is dedicated to the group called the 'Bee Gees Walk' which Barry helped to put together and attended the official opening. It highlights their career with murals and statues, back where it all started for them.

It was actually a very serious song. It’s about how New York was going through turmoil and the people living there were Staying Alive despite all of the hard times. But they killed it with their music. Bee Gees lover forever ❤️

Well, his name is Sir (has been knighted by Prince Charles) Barry Gibb. Due to Guinnes Book Of Records, on second place by most successful songwriters of all times, only behind Sir Paul Mc Cartney. Most of the songs, he wrote together with his brothers, so they also have their share.

I only wish all of his brothers Robin, Maurice AND Andy could've all long enough to be knighted. They all deserve it. Especially Andy. He never even got his chance.

I found your channel surfing KZbin and saw you was reacting to my FAVORITE JAM. So, now I am a new subscriber and appreciate younger people hearing good music with clean lyrics that is meaningful. You two keep up the works you are doing.

Nope, the lead singer is Barry Gibb. Robin Gibb used to be the lead singer of the Bee Gees in the late '60s - by the mid-'70s that changed and Barry Gibb became the lead singer.

My Mom loved them. 💜 She had this as her ringtone. Barry is the only one left. I cried when Robin and Maurice passed away. That meant it was all over. I grew up with them. Part of my childhood is gone. Feel so sad for Barry being the only one of them left! 😢💜 First time I heard them I was amazed!! Their music will live on forever!!💙 Their other brother was Andy Gibb. He was an amazing singer too. He died too soon. ❤️🌟 Their sound was all them. No extras. Just their voices. Pure!! I miss the 70s and 80s pure music!! 💜. Barry was so fine!! So was his brother Andy!! OMG!!🥰
