That song became women's national anthem. I was a teen back then but till this day I still know all the words by heart. Huge, huge hit and fun disco song to dance to.

[@lilyj9924]

💯 & TO ROLLER SKATE TOO, 🔥🔥 OLD SKOOL JAM 💃

[@michellehubbard7865]

Same here

[@TheHardlove4u]

And I must say gay men too.

[@judyduguay8673]

We used to sing this to all the players lol

[@leslielees5438]

Gay anthem too

[@kenpatton8761]

Don’t care what people think, Disco was a friggin blast! Cheers

[@RedRubyG]

This song was every woman's mantra at some point. This song got us thru our breakups!

[@allenwhitmer8192]

Not just women's!

[@RedRubyG]

@@allenwhitmer8192 lol. I stand corrected! I'm glad we all got thru with this one! 🤗

[@kimcutts6153]

Oh. This was a HUGE hit in the UK. And I can still sing it word for word. 🔥❤🎵🎙

[@jennhen2675]

Me too!

[@charlottehardy822]

Absolutely 💃🏻🕺🎶♥️

[@SD-mw1hz]

An anthem to anyone in this situation, someone walks out on you and thinks they can come back like nothing ever happened. Once in our relationship early on we were having a disagreement and my husband said, "I don't know if this relationship is going to work out and I replied, "That may be true, if you feel that way you have 13 ways to leave this house, doors and windows, but just know when you leave do not come back, I was great before you came along and I will be great after you are gone, we will be great together as a team, I would cry but I would get over it, do not use threatening to leave tactics to get me to bow to you. I do not play games like that." We have been married over 20 years and have never had that conversation again. I was not trying to be mean but I needed him to understand I don't play the threatening game.

[@susanhamilton9627]

Gurrlll !

Muhammad Ali used this for entrance music a couple of times!

[@hugsnkizes100]

Not only did people jump up to dance to this song, everyone sang along at the top of their lungs. I have a close friend who finally got out of an abusive situation and have it as her ringtone.

[@bjm9071]

An inspirational song of empowerment! Gloria is 78 years old and still touring! I have tickets to see her this summer.

[@kenpaden]

This song was massive back in the day!!! Can you imagine how much fun it was to dance to in the clubs with the disco ball and lighted dance floor?? Along with this song we had Donna Summer, The Bee Gees, and some other women you should check out from the era are Ami Stewart and KNOCK ON WOOD and Anita Ward and RING MY BELL.....thanks guys!!

[@nenelles-dancelikenobodysw8511]

Did we ever dance to this one!!! It played everywhere. Every disco played it at least once a night 💃 🕺 💃 🕺 💃 🕺 💃

[@suzie4417]

Gloria Gay or was such a star back in 70’s & 80’s! Being strong, telling it straight, showing women how to be strong & loving without a man who treats women badly 🎶💜😻🇨🇦☮️ 💃

[@nautika1]

Gloria Gaynor is absolutely amazing this is one of the greatest 🎵 of all time

[@descendantoffools9767]

Never Can Say Goodbye was another big disco hit for her.

[@michaeltaylor8835]

Loved it

[@christinalikoski4937]

I actually still have the music sheet to that song lol Australia 💕 Christina

[@jojones1082]

That song always takes me back! We used to spend hours dancing and skating to this one. It's a timeless anthem - and a timeless dance hit!

[@deborahlewis656]

I'm 60, grew up to disco( yes we skated to this anthem), then in 90s...dance clubs and gloria were hitting all dance floors, us girls would fill the floor, and sing along to every word😉😂😘

[@sabrinamassie5606]

we knew how to nail it, didn't we Deborah?

[@Cannon-Fodder]

I've been listening to this song since it came out, and it still gives me goosebumps whenever I hear it.

[@TangentOmega]

Absolutely the BEST disco song! Ms. Gaynor is a legend because of this song.

[@bethcushway458]

This song has got me through every break up I've ever had. Absolute anthem!!!

[@endoraismygma]

THE Ultimate Empowering Breakup Song. Takes me back she's a queen ❤🙏

[@Budini67]

"The best revenge is living well." LOVE this song. Played it many times in my life to get through hard times.

[@delisamarchetti5926]

Great song, wonderful pic! It is such an inspiring song. I think it has helped a lot of people feel courage through the years.

[@Dollywood623]

This was an anthem back in the day. Whenever this song was played everyone stopped what they were doing and sang every word. When u guys played this video I remembered all the words. All these years later Still🔥🔥🔥

[@pamelawertz498]

Another disco classic you will love is Thelma Houston - Don't Leave Me This Way. Strong powerful vocals with that awesome disco dance floor feel!

[@DavidMiller-kf1ss]

❤gay anthem. Thanks!

[@drunettaspencer1653]

Yes!!!!!! The Disco era

[@robertcartier5088]

The 60's had "R.E.S.P.E.C.T." and the 70's had "I Will Survive"! I love how she made it such a fun song! When you're dancing to this, you 're not sad that she's turning him away, you're celebrating her independence!

[@toriboy25]

And the late 90's had "It's Not Right but it's Okay" :)

[@v.downes9608]

Great song, great message, great strong lady. Love this song.

[@legoray376]

That song is my all time favorite, when I got pregnant with my oldest… his father left us and this was my song that gave me motivation to keep going with my son and I … still today when I need a boost , I play it! Thank you so much!

[@Frankie--da-fixer]

As a white child that was in love with Disco,this song drove me crazy,I would play it over and over,well not sure about me but it drove my family crazy lol!Great Great song!!!!

[@eloisapompa5048]

This song got me strong thru my separation/divorce in 1980-81. Seven yrs later he did try to come back and just expect me to be free. I said NO and moved to Hawaii! Lol.

[@shellygill5029]

This is a powerful women's song. This is one of those songs that was played in all the discos and rolled rinks. A 70's top hit.

[@linnettetuttle7013]

She’s so awesome… thanks for showing her respect ❤️

[@jackiegoodspeed1849]

We had so many songs which empowered us. " I will survive!" And we did. Excellent choice.

[@joegreen9987]

[@williamcalderon9158]

[@lesleypulling129]

Most of the men disappeared of the dance floor when this came on and all the women sang it out loud love it

[@lolabroadhead3972]

This song was played at every 'family' party in the UK for decades!

[@cherylcuffee5081]

Hi Guys. Glad you reacted to this song. It helped me get over a bad break up. That was forty years ago and I still dance 🩰 to it. 👍 To this song.

[@tabathacooksey6042]

Forever jams! Old school music is beautiful! She is sunshine beautiful queen and voice!!

[@thehorrorfanx]

Best break-up anthem ever!

[@dianewillson1289]

You two would have loved the disco era!! Love the reaction you 2 do!! Mel, would love to hear YOU sing sometime!!

[@beverlysanders4209]

Huge huge hit and i still love it!!!!! Singing the words listening to this

[@christinawoolley6206]

Love this song! It's wonderful and inspiring on It's own, helped alot when I was a young woman but I gotta say.......in the movie The Replacements, it took on an entire new dimension! 😹 ( Not for reactions, just for you) Thank you for sharing! 😽💋🎶

[@michaelpenick2377]

That year produced 2 of the best break up songs with Gloria's and Rod Stewart's "is that the thanks I get"

[@adelaidebeatricelaing4498]

Great song, never tire of hearing it. Absolute classic. And can I also say how gorgeous that colour looks on Mel. Beautiful.

[@robertkenneth6517]

When this anthem starts playing, I always feel like I need to jump up and head to the dance floor!

[@hookedonreactions7649]

This became an anthem for women everywhere.

[@waygone6657]

Thanks, I was thinking of this song a few days ago and couldn't remember who sang it. Awesome song and story about Gloria too.

[@helgar791]

This and her doing her version of "Never Can Say Goodbye" were dance anthems of the 70's.

[@anthonymoore3612]

She's the last of the big Disco artists 🎨 all the other's has passed 😢 on She has survived.

[@kimcutts6153]

Another fabulous song by Gloria is "I am what I am"

[@randyem6910]

Danced to this in the clubs back in the 70s.

[@davidadams7578]

The first queen of disco!

[@christopherscorner]

Gloria gaynor is still going strong today, recently releasing a duet with Kylie Minogue, I just can’t stop writing songs about you. It’s a disco boogie for the 21st-century!

[@fannyprice7529]

The classic of all time - thank you for covering this - it never gets old. A classy era for music ❤️

[@suzie4417]

Mel your hair looks gorgeous & your blouse is a great colour for you !💖 Shawn looks good too !

[@christinalikoski4937]

Wow how I love this song It actually gave me the courage to also walkout that door and dumped that idiot 🤭 Australia 💕 Christina

[@barbaramcdonough6944]

Gloria Gaynor was considered the queen of disco back in the 70s! She is absolutely phenomenal! Listen to her other songs, you will be thrilled! She’s a phenomenal singer with a great great voice

[@greg2976]

As a 19 year old rock music lover. Loved this song! So many great memories are brought back by this song!!!

[@frankiebowie6174]

One of the most interesting things about this track is that there are no electronic instruments, only a real band/orchestra behind her. This was a breath of fresh air in a lot of ways. Not that we were sick of Donna Summers’ electronic presence, but it was an unusual sound at that point.

[@trishriley9681]

Huge hit♥️

[@susanelkins3068]

One of the biggest hits -if not THE BIGGEST! of the 70's/Disco era! She kicks A** !!!!!!!!!!

[@ronaldedilbertoona1146]

We all survived! Thank God.

[@quixote6942]

The True Beauty of 70's and 80's Rock (and even Disco) is, All lines were Blurred. Color wasn't a Factor, neither was Sexual Preference and Songs Celebrated Empowering Women. A Black man could be listening to Kenny Rogers and not get a Stink Eye from his friends and a White man can be Rocking to Rick James without being called a Poser. For All of today's "Advancements", We've become more judgmental of others and our Differences have never been so much a factor in our lives. YES, we DID have problems we worked out, but it's because we could take a joke and pointing out a persons Differences didn't mean as much. I Think you both would enjoy the 80's, and Mel could definitely enjoy rocking the Many Neon-Colored Styles from back then (And I think Shawn would look cool in a Dashiki Shirt with Bell Bottoms and High Platforms!).

[@cjturner370]

❤❤ THIS OLD SKOOL JAM✊✊ , IT WAS 🔥🔥🔥 BACK IN THE DAY @ THE CLUB💃 & @ THE ICE SKATING RINK.

[@tommywars4067]

This was an important song in dance clubs at the time. It spoke to so many people. And we danced like crazy to it.

[@roseabbatino1838]

way to go Gloria Gaynor

[@christopherrobertson8098]

When the video was made gloria was still wearing a half body cast after a severe spinal column injury sustained whilst rehearsing for a gig. There are a couple of occasions in the video where the top edge of the cast can be seen under her outfit.

[@johnligon2368]

Just found the channel. This is one of my favorite aongs. Makes. Me smile and dance when i need it. You guys are awesome. Thx for being there

[@kaychristensen4394]

Let y'alls Auntie Kay tell a funny story I'd have forgotten eons ago if not for this song. Nearly 20 years after this hit ex and I had been out for dinner with our best friends. We girls had consumed two too many dirty vodka martinis so the guys put us in the backseat for safety reasons. We pull off I-30 onto Roosevelt Road in Little Rock and into the lot of the first convenience store, she and I singing this at the top of our lungs, word for word. Ex went in for smokes and the clerk hears our outstanding rendition and asks him if we've had a little (!!!) to drink! 😜😝😜 That would be a big 'ol YES MA'AM!! LOVE y'alls channel! ❤

You guys are so likeable, Love Mel neck dancing :)

[@caretaker158]

I was around 7 when Disco hit, but even at that age, I hit the skating rink and tried my hardest to do those moves... and got halfway decent at it. Disco was perfect for skating! Oh yeah, and I've always loved this song!

[@Belluser-we1uc5cb2l]

1978 I was 12 and too young for a bf, however my older sister and most of her friends either got dumped or broke up with their bfs when this song came out. My sister ran out and got the album and all her friends came over. And I heard that song everyday for months. L o l but I liked it

[@kianpa1]

Used to go roller skating all the time in the 70’s. Love it! Thanks!

[@MsBananasmel]

I was born in 1978 but my dad constantly played this record so I knew the words from a young age and it's still one of the best songs ever.

[@nobody_special]

Such an iconic song. Cake did a pretty good cover.

[@markroulette3419]

For a time back in the day, there was a huge fad, called Roller Disco. That is the connection to the woman on the roller skates.

[@nonenone7250]

shawn you really seem deeply impressed taken back on this song...

[@jaynebuchanan4612]

This was a huge hit in Australia, too.

Hi you wonderful people yeah this songs never gets old pure classic ....PS seen a couple of black kids in Central Park NY skate to this on ice and the only reason I mentioned this is because they were absolutely brilliant the moves and rhythm WHOW still think of them when I hear this track Bear Hugs From Dublin Ireland...🤗

[@sarablack2547]

An anthem for broken hearted people primarily women since 78.this always got people on the dance floor dancing, singing every word wether you'd been broken hearted or not.i wish roller skating rinks had been a bigger thing and was still going in the UK! In 2020 Kylie minogue realised her album disco which went to No1 in the UK makeing her the only solo female artist to have a no1 album in 5 different decades.well she rerecorded some of songs as duets including Gloria Gaynor they have a song called can't stop writing songs about you.please check it out.

[@denisepoole5838]

The tune is the same as in the movie "Rocky", he survived too! Go Gloria Gaynor!

[@ReleaseTheQuackers]

I was 6 years old when this came out and would sing to my heart's content as loud as can be while roller skating of course! 44 years later and I will still belt this one out in the middle of the grocery store, but without roller skates...LOL!

[@tanweersharafuddin1919]

I was born 1978 and every gay man in the world loves that song. Biggest 70s disco anthem. Its loved by millions and been remixed hundreds of times. 💋👌🏾 God bless you both. Taz from UK You still haven't done my suggestions yet ... 😥
