Stayin Alive" is 45

In February 1978 John Travolta strutted down the street to this immortal song. One of the most instantly recognizable songs from that era, it defined his image for decades

.It was been copied and parodied countless times. But on the 45 anniversary I present this, one of the best renditions.

Right, so you want me to sign up for Reddit so as to watch a cute doggie video?

There are cute kitty videos there, too.

No sign up is required.

I’ve read you’re supposed to do compressions-only CPR to the beat of “Stayin’ Alive.” How ‘Stayin’ Alive’ Will Make You a CPR Lifesaver - FFVA Mutual

And, if it’s looking grim, switch over to “Another One Bites the Dust”.

mmm

I think about half of reddit is cute kitty videos and photos… Not that I’m complaining.

Fourteen seconds of my life I’ll never get back… :disappointed:

This is me beating my drum every time it comes up but… goddamn… that song is so good. It’s a pity we turned it into a pop culture joke.

So I absolutely love the back story to Saturday Night fever. It’s based on a New York Magazine article about disco which basically brought disco into the mainstream (with the help of the movie of course), but the thing is the article was absolutely bullshit.

Disco in NY at the time was a largely underground, gay, culture, more similar to 90s rave culture in terms of the clothing style etc than what we think of as “disco”. But tracking down underground disco clubs to research and is hard work, and who has time for that? So actually what Nik Cohn, the author of the article, described is the nightlife he was familiar with, namely the mod scene in London. So that is what became “disco” in the public eye, even though it never was originally.
