It’s like the song is having a big comeback, and everyone wants to be a part of it. It’s just a fun song that makes everyone feel good!
Popular in the world of music is a song that has been known for quite some time and this is “Stayin’ Alive”, composed by the Bee Gees. It was first launched in 1977 as the soundtrack for the film “Saturday Night Fever”. Although it may have been out for a while, it still is one of the personal favorite songs of many people. However, we can’t help but wonder whether the masterminds behind this musical masterpiece are getting a biopic made on themselves or not?
“Stayin’ Alive” is a custom disco song with a functional beat as well as entertaining lyrics. They were the sons of a famous Australian singer couple when they began their career in the early ’60s: three brothers, Barry, Robin, and Maurice. After its release, it gradually became one of the band’s most recognizable tunes; it was playing on the radio most of the time and was a sensation at parties. It also appeared in the opening credits of the film “Saturday Night Fever”.
At present, it is funny to recall that in addition to the years that have passed “Stayin’ Alive” was also on the list of favorite songs. Teens and everyone else like it because the beats are powerful, and cheer always comes with the music. It’s a song you’ll hear everywhere- from parties to weddings- to even exercise classes, because it’s such a catchy and fun dance song. There is no doubt in saying that the fans will appreciate a comeback of the music in any of its element.
Since 2019, a biopic on the three Gibb brothers has been in production. Reportedly, director Ridley Scott is in negotiations to direct a biopic of the Bee Gees. Paramount Pictures is the studio behind the works of the yet untitled film. On the other hand, the script is written by the Tony Award- winning playwright John Logan. Several of his movie scripts have been nominated for the Academy Award as well. Interestingly, Barry Gibb, the only surviving Bee Gee, is the executive producer of the film.
Conversely, even the tune isn’t the only thing. The song has started an insurgence in films, series and events. It appeared in the movie, “Guardians of the Galaxy”, and also in the well-liked TV series, “Stranger Things”. This reminds people of how much they enjoyed it, and causes other audiences to gravitate towards it too.
In addition to the fact that the song is reminiscent of the disco times, it also makes people yearn for those days by itself. The song still has a fanbase of youngsters alike who weren’t around in the ’70s but still find the sound of “Stayin’ Alive” cool, since it has been popular for a long time.
The phrase “Stayin’ Alive”, in the song is not only taken in a casual tone, because it also explains the importance of persistence. This title can’t help but ring like, “Forget the past. Keeping going means victory.” This phrase touches the lives of many people when time is portrayed as the worst enemy.
What began as a fun and light-hearted attempt by individuals to create their own versions of “Stayin’ Alive,” which many shared online, is now an international sensation. It’s so nice to watch how people diverge in terms of imagination when it comes to recreating this popular song.
Finally, after the song ends, “Stayin’ Alive” means more than just the music. It is a part of our culture. A real timeless classic, like the rest of the works of the Bee Gees, it keeps up with the changing times. However you may be listening to it in your room or hearing others play it on the radio, it’s a song that’ll make you dance like it did in the past.
Coming back to the biopic, there are no official announcements made related to the cast or plot as of now. However, fans are sure to get some catchy and classic Bee Gees music in the movie, which will make them relive the magic of the musical trio!
