The soundtrack was released on November 15, 1977. Prior to the release of Thriller by Michael Jackson, Saturday Night Fever was the best-selling album in music history, and still ranks among the best-selling soundtrack albums worldwide, with sales figures of over 40 million copies.

[@FreedomsRealm]

If you watch the movie be aware that it isn't a kid friendly movie, something to watch after your daughter goes to bed.

[@Jayscollo]

This is an R-rated movie for a reason and some scenes are tough to watch. Without giving too much away, you are on the right track. A good portion of the movie is about a young man played by John Travolta, feeling trapped in his neighborhood and the people In it, he saw things he didn’t like & wanted to get out and start a new. There’s a sequel to the movie, saying a fever called staying alive where you see that same character years later in his new life.

Be prepared, Saturday Night Fever is a serious and pretty dark movie. This film and Urban Cowboy (released three years later in 1980) launched Travolta into superstardom.

[@sarahburford5938]

I was a child when this movie was released. The music and fashions from the movie were everywhere. I eventually saw it as an adult, expecting a dance movie. It is a very dark movie including racist language and a terrible sex scene. I won't spoil the bridge scene she is questioning. I'll just say I was very disappointed when I finally saw it and glad I wasn't allowed to see it as a child.

[@ladysky2883]

@@sarahburford5938That terrible sex scene was really a rape scene. But it wasn't called that. I can't watch that part at all. I lived thru the 70's and you couldn't pay enough to go thru it again. Once was enough.

[@donpietruk1517]

​@@sarahburford5938It was also an accurate portrayal of how people talked and behaved at the time. I thought it was very realistic and captured a lot of good themes about alienation, reality of lower middle class life, dead end expectations and trying to not have your aspirations and dreams crushed. Was it dark? Absolutely. But it was also very real and resonated with a lot of us living in similar circumstances.

[@RichardWhatley-wy5mi]

Don’t Welcome BackCarter, and Grease as for as kicking off his career.

[@normlee6566]

The tv series did not launch him into superstardom. SSF and UC were his first dramatic leading roles. Grease helped put him on the big screen, but his subsequent two films put him on the A-list.@@RichardWhatley-wy5mi

[@FavoriteMovieDate]

Even I went dancing in the 70’s! Disco was the most infectious dancing music! Of course, dancing was at its peak during the Big Band era through the 70’s. It is a crime that dance clubs went out of fashion. Young people today are missing out.

[@debbywilkins2239]

I has a great time in the clubs. We were lucky to experience the 70s

[@tjrivers]

Yes, we danced, danced, danced to the hustle…yes!

[@terrasculp]

“Where do you go when the record stope?” That was the tag-line on the movie poster. Travolta was a local dance hero but, he was starting to realize that he had limited prospects for the future. I mean, all he could do is dance. He starts to realize his life of going to the club, hangin’ with his friends was leading to a dead-end. Basically, Tony Manero is starting to become an adult.. Huge movie for its time. Made Travolta a superstar. Haven’t seen the flick in decades, but I think it’s worth a watch.

[@Chris_T_S]

The dance moves were done by a choreographer for the movie - we all went nuts over them. Also, there were actual CLASSES to teach us how to do them lol, teens (and adults) dedicated many many hours to learn and adapt them to their own styles. NOTE: I totally cracked up when you thought the choreography was from existing dancing. They all sang falsetto harmonising, even their younger brother (who was a soloist in his own right). The 20 odd years prior to Saturday Night Fever, they would falsetto occasionally.

[@nigelsilverthorn9188]

If you watch the film you need to see the uncut version, it was heavily cut for younger mass cinema audiences, but the ‘adult’ versions is quite dark and the only one with a full storyline. There may be a directors cut out there. love to hear a reaction to the film :) enjoy.

[@mperezmcfinn2511]

There's an uncut version?

[@chrisau1067]

​@@mperezmcfinn2511 The uncut version is the 'R' rated version that was originally released to theaters. After the movie became a huge hit the studio re-released the movie in a sanitized PG rated version to draw in the younger 'Grease' audience. The ''PG' version cuts the harsher language, cuts down on the violence, and all but eliminates the rape scene The 'PG' version is actually harder to find than the original 'R' rated version.

[@mperezmcfinn2511]

@chrisau1067 I didn't know there was a PG version. I thought maybe there was an even more bleak version of the rated R cut that I grew up with.

I blush just seeing these clips from Saturday Night Fever. I took my mom to see it while we were in Vermont skiing. There is a “backseat” steamy scene that made me so uncomfortable that I did one of those bursts of embarrassed laughter…in a totally silent theater. Anyway,yes it’s a disco dance competition. John Travolta’s dancing was a pleasant surprise. I just turned 70 today,so this was a big part of that time in my life,with pleasant(mostly)memories! Could I disco dance? Only in the kitchen while drying dishes!🕺🏻💃🏻🤭. Loved your reaction,Britt! You’re a doll!❤️

[@sydneysomer9958]

The best singers AND songwriters on the planet!! At one point in the late 1970's - 5 of the top 10 songs were songs by the Bee Gees or songs other artists sang written by the Bee Gees. They were musical geniuses. Barry is the only one left and he still performs on occasion

[@nelerhabarber5602]

Robin recalls, "The subject matter of 'Stayin' Alive' is actually quite a serious one; It's about survival in the streets of New York, and the lyrics actually say that". Barry Gibb also recalls, "People crying out for help. Desperate songs. Those are the ones that become giants. The minute you capture that on record, it's gold. 'Stayin' Alive' is the epitome of that. Everybody struggles against the world, fighting all the bullshit and things that can drag you down. And it really is a victory just to survive. But when you climb back on top and win bigger than ever before, well that's something everybody reacts to everybody".

[@chomama1628]

Well said.

[@GedMac]

The music for ‘Saturday Night Fever’ was written and recorded before the movie was made. The Bee Gees had recorded the songs for their next album, when they were approached by Robert Stigwood to write same music for a new film which will star the ‘kid from Welcome Back Cotter’, John Travolta. The Bee Gees gave Stigwood about ten songs to listen to, and Stigwood immediately said he was going to use the songs for the movie, and the movie script was modified and built around the songs.

[@patrickmcgavin2245]

Saturday Night Fever is a coming of age story. Where Johns character Tony Manero wants to become a professional dancer. Which is Tony's dream. He's at odds with his father bc his father wants Tony to get a normal/traditional job. And settle down with a wife and children.

He lives for Saturday Night at the dance club. (Fever) Travolta invented that disco move. He's trapped in a job working in a paint store. Their friend gets beat up and tells the gang the wrong ones did it and Travolta's guys go and beat the crap out of the WRONG gang. One guy in his group gets a girl pregnant (he seemed gay) in crisis, and ends up falling off the Brooklyn bridge to his death while the guys messing around on the wire cables. Makes travolta question life. He meets a dif girl who becomes his new dance partner....you gotta go see. Basically trapped trying to find himself, etc. He and his new partner "win" the contest because he's so popular but another couple was better. He grabs the trophy and gives it to the couple and leaves. Go have some breakfast and rent the movie. I was born in 1957, we grew up with the best music on the planet. Every thing since is garbage.

Barry Gibb found his falsetto either when they were writing this album or shortly before. Theres YT interviews of him and them. He went outside the recording studio to yell or scream (on purpose, for the song)while the brothers were inside singing, but then they kept hearing him - his one high falsetto note turned into continuous falsetto singing, just like that! From then on he could switch at will from his regular voice to falsetto.

Dwayne Johnson did this song on "Celebrity Lip Sync Battle", and his dancing is perfect and hilarious! The Bee Gees are amazing, wrote a ton of great music, and this vibe is on point. What other group sounds even REMOTELY like this super-falsetto sound? Also, the Gibbs have the most hair (head, face, chest) of any band of white guys, ever. Great guitar hooks are worth a million dollars. That "somebody help me yeahhhhhh" is my favorite part. One of the Gibb brothers wrote Islands in the Stream - which Kenny (PDC member) and Auntie Dollie took to great heights. Studio 54. The movie is what happens when you write a script based on an album. But it was the 70s, so it was fine! Also, I think there may be parallels with 8 Mile. Lead character gets beat up, gets revenge via his art.

That’s John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever. He worked in a paint store. The movie is a depiction of night club life in Brooklyn during the disco era.

[@tomsmusic1138]

the brothers were in Europe taking time off to write some new music. A movie production group contacted them via their agent. They wanted them to come write some songs for a new movie they were going to make. The brothers said no but they have written 5 new songs that they could some and review them to see if any would work for them. The producers showed up and reviewed the songs the Bee Gees had written. They loved them and took all 5 with them back to the States. It wasn't until the movie came out that they got to see how their songs were incorporated into the movie Saturday Night Feaver. It turns out that when the producers got down to making the movie they restructured the movie around the songs the Bee Gees had written. PS Most people don't know that Berry was Knighted by the Queen for his lyric writing. I believe the Bee Gees have a record of having the most top 10 or something like that song than any other group. Songs didn't last in a number-one slot, in those days because of the number of new songs by new and older groups were coming out all the time. Great times to cruse the drive-ins (8 Oscars) listening to music blaring then meeting girls and hooking up. That is pretty much what the guys I hung around with did 4-5 nights a week. Great times make great memories.

This song is great….a good reminder of the late ‘70s “disco movement.” The movie is very cultural and dance contests were popular. The Bee Gees are one of the greatest bands ever. They could reinvent themselves from early ‘60s music, to early ‘70s and finally to disco. John Travolta is known for his superb acting, dancing and singing. Just check out the movie/musical “Grease.” The Bee Gees and Travolta are probably as great as talents ever.

[@Tomhusker]

Pan of caint... Absolutely adorable

[@NC-Mama-Bear]

Robin, one of the twins, is usually the lead singer with his strong vibrato voice, Barry harmonizing in his amazing falsetto and Maurice making the song smooth. You hear and see that more clearly in Too Much Heaven and How Do You Mend a Broken Heart. Watch them on The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson. They spontaneously sing Massachusetts from Carson's sofa and Maurice is absolutely hilarious!

[@beegeesbuster1]

One thing you have to remember about The Bee Gees music from the film is that most of them were not written for the film. After their Children Of the World album from 1976, which included their number 1 single You Should Be Dancing (Later also included in the movie) they were in a chateau in france to record their follow up album. When their manager called them up and said he needed songs for a movie project they said, that there were no time to write a whole album but they just finished some songs and he could listen to them and see if they could be used. So by coincidence they wrote songs that for some reason fitted the film perferctly. The Bee Gees wrote five number 1's for this movie. You Should Be Dancing, How Deep Is your Love, Night Fever, Stayin Alive and If I can't Have You, the latter sung by Yvonne Ellimann but The Bee Gees also recorded it. Another song on the album which by many is considered the best of them all is More Than A Woman which on the album has both The Bee Gees and Tavares version on it. The Bee Gees version is just a stunningly beautiful love song.

Barry had a falsetto, but he also had a really great "straight" singing voice you can hear in some of their early songs. Very talented bunch. They had so many hits there were "BeeGee free weekends" on the radio, and they took a break and wrote songs for other people like Barbra Streisand, Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton (Islands in the Stream), and others. Unmatched for their contribution to music.

you should definitely watch the movie, for me, as i have lived trough those times it brings back a lot of memories i watched this movie in the cinema when it came out, and went disco dancing afterwards 😁😎 the movie is not only a jewel in music hits, its also a drama in the life of 70s guys and galls, in one word, ICONIC

They , The Bee Gees, second or third comeback, they actually wrote all the music for the movie before they even saw the movie, wow!!

This movie soundtrack was a huge hit during the disco era. I went to clubs during that time and this song was always played. Dance floor packed immediately.

The Spirit of the 70s lives on.. I don't listen to disco, classic rock instead. I'm told I'm stuck in the seventies.

Check out the whole soundtrack!

How you got superspeed on tape decks was you had to have a duel deck, and you record on high speed. Then you could listen to the Chipmunks singing Black Sabbath. The other way was to turn up the speed on your turntable.

Soundtrack of Saturday Night Fever. Strangely enough, they cut the album before the movie was made. It was providence!
