That was like a trip down memory lane, the good ol’ days if you will. It was like rediscovering your old Bee Gees collection, turning up the volume and discovering that you can still do the Tony Manero strut. Let’s strut together now. C’mon!

Stayin’ Alive…

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I’m a woman’s man: no time to talk.
Music loud and women warm.
I’ve been kicked around since I was born.
And now it’s all right - it’s O.K. -
And you may look the other way.
We can try to understand the New York Times’ effect on man.
Whether you’re a brother or whether you’re a mother,
You’re stayin alive, stayin’ alive.
Feel the city breakin’ and ev’rybody shakin’
and we’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, Stayin’ Alive.
Well now, I get low and I get high
And if I can’t get either I really try.
Got the wings of heaven on my shoes
I’m a dancin’ man and I just can’t lose.
You know it’s all right, it’s O.K.
I’ll live to see another day.
We can try to understand the New York Times’ effect on man.
Whether you’re a brother or whether you’re a mother,
You’re stayin alive, stayin’ alive.
Feel the city breakin’ and ev’rybody shakin’
and we’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, Stayin’ Alive.
Life goin’ nowhere. Somebody help me.
Somebody help, me, yeah.
Life goin’ nowhere. Somebody help, me, yeah.
Stayin’ Alive…

  1. “Saturday Night Fever” turned me off to the American Movie Channel.

    I was jonesing to see the movie again, and when I saw it was playing on AMC I jumped right in and started watching. So they start at the beginning with Tony Manero in the black pants and red shirt strutting down the avenue in Brooklyn dangling the paint cans. And he buys the two slices of pizza and eats them in that way of his, and gets to the hardware store and gets in an argument with the manager.

    And I said to myself, you know, maybe I’m remembering incorrectly, but I’m pretty sure they said the F-word about sixty million times by now.

    AMC had started editing for content. Later on, they started putting in 12 minutes of commercials every eight minutes. Fooey.

  2. The worst is that it’s the same commercial every 12 minutes. Inarticulate fake “feal” people blathering on in party balloon colours. Colour is not as interesting as drama!

  3. Uh…that should be fake “real” people, and the same commercials every eight minutes. Typos, typos. I need more coffee.

  6. Don’t forget that D&G thong while strutting your stuff there Pedram. The huge Gold chain with your name carved in Persian would help as well.

  9. Au contraire Monsieur A.H., Disco era was one of the finest as it brought the animal out in all of us.
