Free Music Notes for Saturday Night Fever
Free Music Review: more than just the Bee Gees
Hit: 5 Stars
For weeks after we bought it with our allowance, my sister and I played the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack almost every Saturday night, dancing our heads off and misunderstanding lyrics to songs we were probably too young to be listening to in the first place. (We were seven and eight, respectively.)
So many years later, I still listen and dance to this awesome album, but I notice that it's not as light-hearted and "Oh God, not disco!" (an attitude I had about the album all through the 80s) as I remember.
The tracks are more intensely driven than they seemed when I was a little girl and some sound as if they have been brushed by a little bit of panic. On "You Should Be Dancing" (Bee Gees, for anyone who may have forgotten) there's a fierce guitar you don't often find in disco. The song reminds me of Flashdance's "Maniac," which came out a few years later, in that you're not dancing because you want to dance, you're dancing because you have to dance.
On "Night on Disco Mountain" there's a mania that's downright scary. It sounds like someone's life is about to end...which may be why this song is played during a scene in which Tony and his reckless friends are playing around high up on the Brooklyn bridge.
Even "Disco Inferno" (so amazing for a really great work-out number!!) is fierce and commanding. Lighter fare (such as "Boogie Shoes" by K.C. and The Sunshine Band and the somewhat geeky, but totally lovable "Open Sesame" by Kool and the Gang) is definitely as I remember it, but Yvonne Elliman's "If I Can't Have You" somehow sounds sadder than ever!
Disco may have been some people's idea of a good joke gone on too long, but here it still remains classic:)
Saturday Night Fever Poster
Japanese special edition of this classic original album re-released on CD and packaged in a 12 x 12 inch album sized LP replica sleeve with all the original artwork and tracks. Universal. 2005.The double-disc soundtrack to the blockbuster Saturday Night Fever (available on a single CD) marks both the zenith and the nadir of disco. It was such a popular sensation that it catapulted the music to stratospheric levels of mainstream popularity, and the album was the bestselling movie soundtrack of all time (until The Bodyguard, and then Titanic). But "Disco Fever" became so hot, it could only flame out just as quickly (along with the careers of the Bee Gees). With this record, disco became a phenomenon and a fad. The Bee Gees' contributions are the strongest, especially the once-ubiquitous "Stayin' Alive" and "Night Fever," and they still hold up. Then there's Walter Murphy's "A Fifth of Beethoven," a trivial piece of pop ephemera that may have set new standards for ephemeral triviality. How often will you listen to this record--and how much will you play when you do? There's no telling--but it remains a classic piece of pop history, and when you're in the mood it's a good thing to have around. --Jim Emerson
