Saturday Night Fever on the Pop Culturist

June 27th 2007 02:14
John Travolta Saturday Night Fever
One of the most recognizable movie songs has to be 'Stayin' Alive' by the Bee Gees, immortalized by John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever.

This was a pre-Pulp Fiction Travolta, of course, and -even more relevant- a pre-Battlefield Earth Travolta.


Mr. Nice Guy, on the Pop Culturist blog, has written a detailed post on the movie and the disco fever it inspired.

"Featuring the trials and tribulations of a Brooklyn paint store assistant (and local disco king) John Travolta almost single handedly (along with a little help from the Bee Gees) re-invented popular culture in the mid to late 70’s – strutting his stuff amidst flashing lights and mirror balls to hypnotic beat of what was to become the biggest selling soundtrack of all time."

This movie made Travolta as a legend, I guess, and it's often parodied. Not being a disco baby, I can't really get down with the whole thing, but I had quite a few old disco records in my collection, from Donna Summers to Fifth Dimension. Hell, remix it all!

I loved that movie and that music and that John Travolta, although he was rather vile in his attitudes as was the movie rather vile in places.

I've always loved the BEEGEEs how time moves on.
