Stayin’ Alive (1977) – 470 . place
Just like How Deep Is Your Love, Stayin’ Alive was created at the behest of Director Stigwood. The two brothers wrote the song within a few days while staying at the Château de Heruvelle, located near Paris. Artists such as Elton John, Pink Floyd, David Bowie and Iggy Pop have also come here for the recording sessions. The Bee Gees’ record label, RSO Records, wanted the title of Stayin’ Alive to match the movie, which was at the time Saturday night He will be called. However, the band was unwilling to change the title. Barry: “We definitely didn’t want it to be the title of the song because we thought Stayin’ Alive was a stronger title.” Additionally, Night Fever already had the word “night” in the title, so Stigwood only added one word to the movie title. From that moment on, the movie was called Saturday night fever.
Over the years, the two brothers have had mixed feelings about the song. On the one hand, it brought them huge success, but on the other hand, the hit film and accompanying film always kept them in the disco box, despite their long and varied career before and after this period.
