The Bee Gees Message Board

My favorite song to this day is Staying Alive. I don't know what it is about that song but it is just a great song that has stuck with me for 30+ years.

I would say it is probably because Saturday Night Fever was the first R rated film I had ever watched, and I was 6 at the time, and I just remember that song so much and remember playing it on the record player until I wore the album out so bad I had to have the parents buy me another copy. I still have the original purchased LP as well as the replacement copy.

I like the remix that is on the special edition greatest hits CD, I wish it was longer. I have been trying to track down an acapella to make my own remix of it for some time... such a great song.

Hi DJfunkmaster,

"Stayin' Alive" is a great song. It really deals with literally survival of the fittest in New York City. "Feel The City breakin' and everybody's shakin', they're Stayin' Alive, Stayin' Alive..." It had nothing to do with dancing, and this was written for a regular album that The Bee Gees were going to make, and when they submitted it, they had no idea it was going to be a film about going to the disco. The movie itself was based on an article written in the "New Yorker" magazine titled "Tribal Rites of The New Saturday Night". Be good,

Nicka

I'm ashamed to say I haven't really hard many Bee gees songs. I wanted to listen to the best of their tracks but never knew which ones I should listen to. I'll be checking out the ones you've all posted tomorrow morning. At the moment, my favourite Bee Gees song is "Wish You Were Here". It has an amazing tune and it's so sad, it makes me feel like crying every time I hear it.

"rings around the moon" and "love never dies"

"reaching out"

so many songs....

Hi Tess

Great to hear that you like "Life In A Tin Can"! It's one of my favorite albums by The Bee Gees. "Method To My Madness" is a wonderful song. I just learned "While I Play" on guitar. Also "Living In Chicago" as well on guitar. It's a great record. Have you heard any of the "A Kick In The Head Is Worth Eight In The Pants"? It's the best record The Bee Gees never released.

Talk soon
