I got goosebumps
Those kids have a long career ahead of them in music if they want it.
Barry Gibb is actually a fantastic songwriter, and this is one of his best songs. This version is way better than his though!
Wow, so beautiful. The unrestrained freedom of children just letting it all out. Loved it.
Love The Bee Gees but yes this is fantastic. Love the harmonies, the guitar playing, the kid dancing in the background. Just great all around, thanks for sharing.
Ditto. Thanks for sharing @Svetlovska.
Nice video.
I was in a bar about 20 years ago and a Bee Gees song was playing on the radio and I started tapping my hand to the beat on the bar. The guy next to me, who was drunk and very large, looked at me with a menacing look and exclaimed..”I hate The Bee Gees”. I thought he wanted to clobber me, so I left.
I LOVE many of those BeeGees songs from Saturday Night Fever. Some truly magical moments. The hatred many people feel / felt towards disco is often a lot less about musical merit, and more a symptom of homophobia, misogyny, etc. Disco was very threatening at the time to the dominant rock n roll image of what a man should be.
The movie Saturday Night Fever itself explores those tensions in a really interesting way, though many people don't realise this as a) they haven't watched it but might feel they have, due to its cultural impact, b) shortly after release a PG version came out which cut out a lot of the swearing, raping etc that is in the original cut.
Anyway, there's definitely a lot of crap disco music, but there are some gems for sure, and I personally put some of those BeeGees songs up with the best pop music ever, Night Fever in particular.
They sound great.
I really prefer the late 70s BeeGees to their baroque pop or whatever it was in the 60s.
I agree with you about the original cut of the film. It had that real Manhattan and the buroughs feel of Richard Price’s 70s novels.
‘’What a man should be’, huh? Yup, Gav, you got me. As an ex gay man, current trans woman, who spent the 70s dancing to YMCA in gay discos months before the straight world even knew the Village People existed, I must obviously be all about the ‘hate’, homophobia, etc.
Or maybe, and bear with me on this, it’s a wild idea, ok? Just maybe… despite loving Gay disco, because it actually spoke to my own personal authentic experience, e.g. Sylvester of ‘You Make Me Feel Mighty Real (1978) fame, backing singers Two Tons Of Fun aka The Weather Girls, later makers of It’s Raining Men, I just didn’t like the rather boring straight disco version being offered by the Bee Gees? (As distinct from ‘Hate’ , which if I recall correctly, was what was being directed toward me when I went on Gay Pride marches through a uniformly hostile London, back when they were still protest marches and not shopping opportunities…) The Bee Gees just weren’t anywhere near as spicy, transgressive and yes, real, as I liked my disco to be. To me, they were to disco then what Madonna’s later Vogue was to the actual voguing scene depicted in Paris Is Burning - a safe, watered down version for the straights.
Still. Let me just check. Not liking a particular band vs being threatened with actual immediate violence for existing? I think I can tell the difference…
Ah, obviously - I thought anyway - I wasn't addressing that at you! My reply was to the person who commented on your post saying 'The guy next to me, who was drunk and very large, looked at me with a menacing look and exclaimed..”I hate The Bee Gees”. I thought he wanted to clobber me, so I left.'
My comment was not a claim that that drunk guy was homophobic, it was a general musing about some - well documented - factors contributing to dislike of disco in the culture, and certainly wasn't saying that if people don't like disco it means they are homophobic!
I think you hit the nail on the head. Obviously not true for everyone as is evident here, but a lot peoples hate for disco is definitely rooted in hating people for being LGBT, a woman, a person of color, etc.
Side note: Saturday Night Fever is a GREAT movie. I think it gets sidelined as just some cheesy disco flick but it’s got a lot of heart and is a character drama at the center.
I’m sorry you had to go through all of it. I’m a child of the 90s and things were bad then but I feel lucky to have grown up during a time when things were starting to - somewhat - change for the better. Being hated for being yourself is truly one of the worst things. I do sometimes wish I could’ve been in those gay disco bars of the 70s though. Alas, before my time.
FWIW I think Gav was more commenting on the general attitude, especially of the big burly guy in the comment he replied to.
@HotStrange @Gavinski
No harm, no foul. Just wanted to make the point that as far as I was concerned, the Bee Gees just weren’t damn disco enough!
Play this all the way through, tell me I’m wrong!
Lovely video.
Personally, I love the BeeGees, and I love Disco in general. Barry Gibb is an incredible songwriter who wrote so many classic songs, from Grease to Islands In The Stream, as well as all the great Saturday Night Fever tracks. But I also really like the Carl Bean track above ☝
It never ceases to amaze how culturally rich the 70s were, this music was happening alongside punk, and rock, and funk, and reggae, and all of it mattered, a lot.
Oh yeah there’s definitely a difference between real disco and the BeeGees version haha.
In a parallel universe, this might be a Bee Gees cover?
The photobomb of the little kid on the skateboard makes the video.
Love the BeeGees. Always have. Was on of those raised on their pre-SNF music, who took a while to get into the change.
I’ve always loved the BeeGees, I think mainly because my folks always played their records when I was growing up, not to mention they were all over the radio.
Young me was confused in the late 70’s when the Sgt. Pepper’s movie came out though. With the BeeGees and Peter Frampton doing all those Beatles songs. It wasn’t until many many years later, that I figured everything out lol
But yeah, the BeeGees, the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, the Village People, and KISS were the very first vinyl records that I got with my suitcase record player, Christmas 1978.
It’s all woven into the fabric of my youth.
Btw, these kids are amazing! They’re definitely going places. The little one with the football helmet and flippers in the background had me lmao 😂
For me, the Bee Gees will always be the best embodiment of a musical era where real musicians could afford to be generous enough to put multiple ideas into one song.
For an example, How deep is your love has more hooks and ear candy crammed into it than you can usually find in an entire pop album today. 🙂🤷
...
On the other hand, this is also a fair point:
Sometimes the bass is the star of the show (Good Times), sometimes it's merely a supporting act... It's whatever best serves the song. 😀
