GEN Z KID Checks Out BEE GEES | Staying Alive (FIRST TIME EVER)

[@leehallam9365]

Normally when someone realises they have heard a song before, it kills the reaction. This time it made it.

[@tandaknights9047]

Is this not the beat for CPR? Barry was such a heart throb, and now that we're old, he is because he's been such a man of honor.

Ironically, so is 'Another One Bites The Dust'

Yes those were the times back then that there was real music,real talented songwritters and non-autotuned performers.i.e.one of today's acts could make 3-4 songs if he sampled a Bee Gees song that were highly filled up with clever hooks and self written melodies.You could even hear real acoustic strings in a dance song.Such a feverishly creative era.

Opening scene from "Saturday Night Fever." Take a look at Travolta's walking down the street to this.

[@sarablack2547]

Apparently travolta didn't do the walk by himself. When you see him it's him when the camera is on his shoes it's someone else.

[@carolhayar3037]

@@sarablack2547 Where did the info come from -- & is anyone besides Travolta mentioned in any info?

[@sarablack2547]

@@carolhayar3037 I believe it was a documentary on UK TV about the film.prob to celebrate the anniversary of it being out for 25 years or something.i googled and got this. It was Mr. Zinn's feet and legs, in disco boots and jeans, that walked into the camera during the memorable 1977 opening credits for ''Saturday Night Fever,'' to the music of ''Staying Alive The guy is Jeff Zinn he was travoltas photo double too. He has an IMDb page. In the doc the presenter did the same walk and stopped at the same place tony did for a slice of pizza.

[@carolhayar3037]

@@sarablack2547 I saw where it said it was Jeff Zinn's shoes but Travolta denied it. Anything's possible, with so much differing info on the internet, whether it's an article or a video, it's difficult to know what's real & what isn't, i.e., there are 2 choreographers named (Wilson & Terrio) as working w-Travolta who refused a body double when the producers suggested it; then there's info in a reporter's interview article that mentions a JoJo Smth as the choreographer working w-Travolta but never mentions Wilson & Terrio. What doesn't make sense to me is that w-the great dancing Travolta did, the hrs. of work put in, exercising, etc. why would they need to use someone else's feet. At any rate, I'm a leery sort of person when it comes to stuff on the web & take everything w-a grain of salt. Thanks.

[@ScottPothan]

You have no idea how massive how life enhancing this track was. When Stayin Alive hit I was working on the QE2 week in week out transatlantic crossings. Id go to a club in London and it was Stayin Alive four days later Id be in New York and it was Stayin Alive pumping in the NY clubs then Id be back on the ship and it was Stayin Alive pumping in the crew bars on QE2. In the middle of the bloody Atlantic it was massive ! Stayin Alive was global in a way never known before. And it was the London and New York club scene that drove it: not radio. It was groundbreaking on another level. If you were alive then its a track in your bloodstream forever.

[@tonielliott8659]

Jay you are adorable as hell when you react to the Beegees. You are just like the rest of us Beegees lovers. But you really should go back a little further. Robin has the most amazing haunting beautiful voice. Check out I Started A Joke 1989 from Melbourne Australia. And Maurice is pronounced Morris. I was 17 when I first heard it. I went to go see Saturday Night Fever. I thought it was awesome. My favorite from that movie is You should be dancing. I saw them in concert back in July of 1979

[@1959219]

I also love Robin in Alone. ❤

[@kathieovercash8414]

Your excitement is contagious. This was the first time a drum loop was ever used to record a song. They already had all the songs written for their new album when they were approached to write songs for the movie Saturday Night Fever. They told the producers that they were in Paris recording and didn't have time but they could hear what they already had written and the producers ended up using every song they showed them. At that point they wrote the movie around the songs. It was a low budget film that just exploded. I think it was because of the music. Pretty awesome.

[@eh1702]

This was one of the movies I ever saw that wasn’t the “village-pictures” showings of Charlie Chaplin or Laurel & Hardy. At home, the radio was monopolised by parents, and we weren’t indoors much anyway, even the kids who had TVs (our house didn’t) So EVERY SONG in Saturday Night Fever just burst on us as we sat in out town’s new giant cinema. 1300 kids and teenagers going crazy with it.

You can't listen to this song without groovin' to it!

[@katrinaprescott5911]

Yes, pre-internet, unless you bought thr album and the lyrics were in the liner notes (not always) you pretty much had to guess at them. Which made for some pretty interesting interpretations. There are websites of "misheard lyrics" where people post what they *thought* the lyrics said and then get an answer of what they actually say. It can be very funny.

[@kellyford5903]

You, Young Sir, possess a million dollar smile 🤩 Great Post-thank you! 💕🇺🇸💕

[@jayeginn5963]

I love your reaction(s) especially to The BeeGees. I don't know how old you are, but at 60 I know I'm way, WAY, older than you, LOL. But, of course, still way younger than The BeeGees. I first saw the BeeGees in 1975 on a chart show on TV doing Nights on Broadway. Well, it was then that my little 11-year-old girl heart was captured by Barry. I had no idea what was happening to me, but I instantly had the biggest crush. I don't really remember when I first heard Stayin' Alive, but I do know that my (girl)friends and I would check the charts on all the songs of Saturday Night Fever and if they would be shown during the pop TV shows. Then of course we'd park ourselves right in front of the TV set and be glued to it whenever they were on and often afterward would call each other on the phone (LANDLINES!!!!) and swoon and giggle and talk about how freaking handsome Barry was, LOL. That was 1977, when I was 13 and they pretty much dominated the charts that year, and all the popmagazines featured them so we could all fill our scrapbooks with the photos and articles. And of course we plastered the walls of our (pre) teen rooms with posters of them, especially Barry (and Andy). Ah, childhood memories, LOL.

BTW, Sesame Street did a take on Saturday Night Fever called Sesame Street Fever. It was a whole album of songs in the same disco beat. I used it with my preschool class . They loved it.

[@Wellch]

Song is “ Too Much Heaven”

[@andtap]

I was about 6 years old when this song first came out and back then it was everything! Bee Gees were the first group I ever became aware of, even before the Saturday Night Fever insanity. I would have been very young but songs like Jive Talkin, Run To Me, To Love Somebody, Nights On Broadway would come on the radio when we were driving in the car and I'd ask my dad to turn it up, haha! I think my love of music began with these 3 brothers. In my opinion, the Bee Gees have no equal.

[@triciaevans7497]

I have fond memories of sitting in front of Dad's home made speakers for hours, pen and paper in hand and trying to work out the lyrics to Chicory Tip (Song of my Father) and T Rex (Ride a White Swan), painstaking process when you had to keep lifting the needle of the record player and guessing where to place it to hear the section you wanted...........we never could work out much of it, years later when i could 'see' them on the internet I realised we never stood a chance, very gobbledeegook lyrics 🤣

[@terezinhafernandes8164]

É muito bom ver jovens conhecendo os Bee Gees. Eles eram e ainda são os melhores. Vc precisa ouvir "Nights on Broadway", "From Whom the Bell Tolls", "I Could Not Love You More", "Winds of Chance (alive version)" e muitas e muitas outras. Eu poderia fazer uma lista quase interminável. Continue fazendo reacts dos Bee Gees. 😊🇧🇷

You should do some more country reactions like kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton they did a duet called Islands in the stream The Bee Gees wrote it.

[@RaynorBear]

... in the 1970s, there was a magazine called "Song Hits" that printed the lyrics to popular songs on the radio at the time. Many times I would have to check these magazines to figure out what the lyrics were to a particular song.

[@sarablack2547]

The 1977 music video for the Bee Gees' song "Stayin' Alive" was filmed on the backlot of MGM Studios in Culver City, California. The video features the group singing on an abandoned subway terminal set that included buildings and a train station. The set was next to the one used to film *Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band* at the same time. I'm sure that location was used when gene kelly was introducing clips from mgm musicals for the movie that's entertainment.❤

It was crazy back in the '70's. Like another viewer said, people were out dancing every night. One thing was how DISCO and ROCK & ROLL were butting heads. ROCK people thought DISCO would take over and people would quit making ROCK. Which is crazy. There were folks that liked DISCO but they wouldn't admit it. Good music will always be good music.

Saturday Night Fever (Opening Credits) that's where you hear this song where Tony (John Travolta) was walking down the street back in Brooklyn NY, my neighborhood!!! Love this you brought me back home when I was a kid. Go watch the opening credits to that movie you'll see and hear it. And YES the Italian guys did double up the pizza like that. And just about every Italian guy both talked and acted like that too. I grew up in that neighborhood went to that club, a few years later I was only 13 when this movie came out in 1977, 2001 Odyssey and the dance floor was way smaller in real life they actually made it bigger for the movie. The dance studio was on 86th st in Bklyn (Brooklyn) I went there a few years later too. The Verrazano Bridge was close to my house too along with the White Castle too. I'd take my walks every Saturday and Sunday and the Italian guys with there tight shorts on and white tight tee shirts would be washing there cars lol to me they were funny why you gotta wash you car 2 days in a row piezan??? Lol being Italian myself I made fun of them not to there face of course lol I do a really good imitation of them lol but I loved them too it was always in jest lol and frankly I miss the buzz outta them hey oh hey dont toucha my car I breaka you face lol. Man I really miss those times and what it was like back then. Watching that movie always brings me back. And not only the Bee Gees but do there brother too Andy Gibb too I loved him oh my gosh he always looked and sounded like Barry too. Peace.
