John Travolta worked on that dance for 10 months. It was cut from the movie originally but when he saw the pre-screen and saw it wasn't in there, he was pissed. He insisted it be put back in. Smart move. It's one of the most iconic dance scenes ever.
I agree. I saw it as a teen in Brooklyn when it came out at the Loews Albemarle on Flatbush Ave. The theatre was certainly alive during this scene! For me, however, the "More Than A Woman" dance scene still does it for me. I guess you had to be there.
I used to dance for 3 hours hours straight on the disco floor at 17, especially when The Bee Gees and Donna Summer came on. Lucky for me I can still dance for 2 hours straight at 60. 😂
Awesome! I have to confess, in high school I was a rocker, and because of the tribalism of the time I was firmly in the "Disco Sucks" camp... Now, as a 61-year-old I have to say this is just so much fun! Keep on dancing!
@@joanmayfield4791 yeah me too. I could eat anything and not put on weight. I still dance 5 hours a week but nowadays have to be on keto and low carbs to keep my figure
YES!!! The dance floors were lit and the tables were just a place to park your drinks and your coat because we never sat down!!! Hit the club at 9pm and left at 3am. Never. Sat. Down! The men all danced instead of standing around just holding beers. I was 16, 17 and life was gooood! So happy to see you both appreciating a group like the Bee Gees and an era that was so much fun!!!!💖💖
I am 64 years old, with a 15 year old daughter. You have made me realize that I need to introduce her to disco. Because of you I played some Chicago today. She loved it. She is ready for the 60s,70s,80s music education
This is a scene from the movie "Saturday Night Fever", one of the most iconic movies of all time!! 🎵That was John Travolta dancing...and yes, lighted dance floors as well as disco balls, were the THINGS during the disco era!!🎶 The BeeGees have most of the songs on the soundtrack, so PLEASE take a couple of hours if you get a chance and watch this movie! You wont be sorry!!🎵💜🎶🎵
Yeah, those disco dance floors where you're dancing on different colored flashing lights under foot were a real thing, along with sudden releases of dry-ice smoke filling the dance floor. I was too young to go to adult discos at this time, but there were "teen nights" at local amusement parks that would feature disco setups for us and yeah, there were lit-up dance floors, dry-ice smoke, mirrored "disco balls" (which had been revived from the 1930s-40s Big Band era), etc. It was fun, but no, we didn't all dance like that. Some did, but not many. Most of us did disco line dances like versions of the Hustle and the Bus Stop. As others here are saying, that dancer is John Travolta in the 1977 movie "Saturday Night Fever."
There were 2 types of people in the 70s..1) people who loved disco music and danced to it. (2) people who secretly loved disco music and danced to it but wouldn’t admit it !!…such a great song and genre to get your body moving !!
Home boy is JOHN TRAVOLTA LOL ,,, How do they NOT see him ? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
You’ll notice that almost no one ever, ever tries to cover a song from that soundtrack, because every track is simply perfection, and no one can add anything to those songs. Their talents in music were from top to bottom, writing, performing, producing-all top level.
Kim Wilde If I can't have you is a decent cover. New Order off shoot group Monaco does a great version of this song.. and they kept the horns in, Guillermo Martin does a great version of Night Fever that sounds like Enrique Iglesias singing. These are the rare exceptions
Essential watching: "Saturday Night Fever"! The soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever is one of the best selling albums of all time, and the second best soundtrack album after The Bodyguard.
Deney Terrio is one of the original pioneers of the Disco Dance era and the coach and choreographer who taught John Travolta how to dance for the movie Saturday Night Fever... I know you're too young to know Dance Fever but it was a TV show in the late 70s early 80s :)
Are we ever going to get a Bee Gees reaction with Robin on lead vocals. You’re missing out on his beautifully aching voice. Just in case “I Started A Joke” and “Massachusetts” 🙏🏼😉
"Disco Lights" were very much a part of the Disco craze. They not only lined and hovered precariously over and around the dance floor, but adorned many a teenage room circa 1975-1979!!!!!
Samantha Sang had a hit in the '70's with the BeeGees doing back up with a song called Emotion. She could have easily been a BeeGee sister, her voice blends so well with them.
John Travolta could really dance!! This is the best video because it has all 4 Gibb brothers in it! Only one brother, Barry, is still with us, so it is special to see all 4 on the stage together.
@@nelerhabarber5602 Stayin' Alive is the sequel to Saturday Night Fever! He also did country dancing in Urban Cowboy. Very cool about Gene Kelly's brother, I didn't know that.
Yup, we really danced like that, even in the 80's. I spent at least one night a week at the club back in the day, and at least 3/4th of the time was spent dancing. And I agree with that ya'll need to hear "I started a Joke" and "Massachusetts" which puts Robin in the lead singer seat. They were all phenomenal singers.
Quick fact: They originally wanted to use a dance double for Travolta's character in SNF, but he went off and trained like mad when he got the role and was consequently able to do all the dancing himself. And it really added to the movie because they could shoot him Fred-Astaire style in full figure. If you haven't seen the movie, you should. It's era-defining, and Travolta is almost preposterously beautiful in it.
Yes, Discos really had those dance floors! I did some of the early moves but there are a few people who can dance like John Travolta! Saturday Night Fever was such a hit that Sesame Street did an album called Sesame Street Fever that I used with my preschool kids. You should see if you can find the album for your kids. I think they would really love it.
I would love to see what young parents today think of School House Rock. I loved it so much as a kid and bought the whole set for my niece and she loved it. I realized years ago that I use what I learned on School House Rock to do simple math fast in my head. Unfortunately the American History ones are highly inaccurate but they have the best songs. Lol I listen to it every now and then still when I want a hit of nostalgia. ✌🏽💗
Happy Anniversary!! Love the Bee Gees. They are so smooth, classic. My daughter always tells me not to dance and point my fingers, lol. But John Travolta did it. Homeboy is John Travolta .
Yes, some floors at discos, not all, were like the one in the video. Some people were great dancers, especially at discos in larger cities. However, most of us danced like mere mortals. Our confidence in our dancing abilities grew as the night went on. BTW, the lighted floors became very slippery when wet. If you stepped on an ice cube, you were toast. Lots of drinks were spilled. Happy Anniversary!
You Should Be Dancing was released in 1976 by the older brothers Bee Gees. What you're watching is a Bee Gees concert in 1979, which Andy Gibbs made an appearance (after having debuted as a successful solo artist).
"Saturday Night Fever" has a couple of the most iconic dance scenes in movie history and the "You Should Be Dancing" scene is one of them! "More Than a Woman" (another BeeGees song) is the other one. The entire movie is essentially a tribute to the disco era (the film's soundtrack is amazing and still one of the best-selling albums in history).
Except for Frank Zappa's parody: Bald Headed Woman, I agree. My wife got the Bee Gee's greatest hits and You Should Be Dancing was. like, the last song on Disc 1; I hadn't heard this tune in DECADES (an over reaction to Disco I guess...) but I was amazed how driven and dynamic the song was==I didn't even know Andy took part in recording it.
No, Andy was a drop-in guest for that night's concert. Even Travolta dropped by once. He didn't record this with them. IF Andy had lived and not suddenly died a few days after his 30th birthday in 1988, he would have officially joined the Bee Fees that year. That was the plan.
This is the movie that put the BeeGees in iconic status! They had at least 6 hits off this movie soundtrack! And yes John Travolta did all of the dancing. He practiced a lot. They talked about how much he practiced for these parts! It truly wasn’t a disco without a lit plexiglass dance floor and disco ball with lights.
Danny Terio worked with Travolta to get the dancing down. He watched Travolta's natural movement and built the dances around those abilities. Danny was the dancing king back then. Not sure I spelled his name correctly. And, this is not technically disco. But, you sure can dance to it..to steal a line from American Bandstand. And.. yes...the floors were like that and we wore dresses that twirled for dancing.
My absolute favorite BeeGees song! My friends daughter got married a few years ago ( she's in her 20's) and this song came on for everyone to dance to, and all of us old schoolers (40' and 50's) got up immediately and started dancing like there was no tomorrow! The 20 somethings just sat there and thought we were all crazy!
That was John Travolta dancing in the hit movie "Saturday Night Fever", at the height of the Disco era! And yes, the dance floors really were lit up like that! One of my favorite dance clubs here in Oklahoma had a huge lit-up dance floor like that. So much fun! Thanks for your reaction!
Disco was my favorite time. My late husband and I were dance teachers and danced everyday . The Bee Gees were the greatest. And yes there were dance floors that lite up. People dressed up . And energy was high ❤️🕺🏼💃
I would like to put you both in a time machine and send you back, so you could experience and feel the wonders of the music back then !Yes We danced like that...some of us still do! You both would have fit in so well back then! and watching you makes me feel it all over again and in my mind I'm dancing on a lighted floor, under a sparkling ball, And all is right with the world Because I'm dancing to the best music in the world!
Oh yes, that was the standard for dance clubs in the mid-70's, the era of Disco. At the end of the night, everyone was a sweaty mess. The BeeGees got on the soundtrack for the movie Saturday Night Fever and the rest is history. Put John Travolta on the map (those scenes were of him dancing in the movie).
Not everyone danced (or could dance) like John Travolta, but many tried! Lighted dance floors were out there in some places, and many more showed up after the movie "Saturday Night Fever" became a hit! John Travolta (or his choreographer) came up with the iconic "Disco Point" that everyone does when they hear a disco song. It was the album cover on the soundtrack of the movie, which y'all need to check out!
If you're looking for an amazing falsetto, you really need to react to "Sherry" by the Four Seasons. Frankie Valli had one of the best falsetto voices around. And yes, discos had dance floors like that.
Happy Anniversary! Amber, you have to do Samantha Sang - "Emotions" as a celebration gift to Jay for Female Friday. - That's John Travolta dancing. - Yes, discos had dance floors like that. - John Travolta actually had a top ten hit song in the 70's "Let Her In" you should check out.
I was 10 years young when I heard this song for the 1st time. I was blown away, I could not wait for you should be dancing to play on the radio. What a sensational feeling.
Great reaction! I wish disco could come back. People would be so much happier and healthier to just dance. Barry was almost electric in this performance.
Great reaction Amber and Jay, can't go wrong with the Bee Gees. One more you might get a kick out of (as you reacted to them recently) is the Foo Fighters version of this where they brand themselves as the "Dee Gees" (David Grohl) featuring the Foo Fighters as you've never heard them (David singing the falsetto parts and of course Taylor Hawkins on the drums).
Happy Anniversary!!! And yes, that's what it was like during the 'disco' movement...lol... I'm still waiting for you guys to react to The Bee Gee's, 'Nights On Broadway' live from The Midnight Special!!
THIS, this video right here is why I absolutely LOVE you two! I quite literally got up and danced a bit with your chair dancing!!! Thank you so very much for the last year, here's to many many more!! Blessings 💜
Omg I miss those days!! Yes we did dance like that and we hit the disco every weekend..we did line dancing also like doing the hustle, we had a blast the 70s was the best time to be a teen..between the disco songs and the rock songs we had the best music also..I think it's to cool that you 2 love the music of that era.
To answer Amber's question, yes, there were clubs just like that. I was a semi-hippy nerdy engineering student from the Midwest whose musical taste ran to Neil Young and Joni Mitchell, but in the early summer of 1974 - before I knew what disco was - I took a trip out east to look at Grad Schools, and I stopped to visit my college roomie at his hometown in Fishkill New York in the Hudson Valley. All the time I was driving I remember my am radio playing the Hues Corporation song "Rock the Boat" - which was early disco.. I found it slightly annoying, but it got in my head nonetheless --- One night, my roomie took me on a drive toward the Big Apple - not in to the city, but fairly close to it, and we went in a dance club. I'd never seen anything like it - guys in colorful silk-print shirts, girls all in shimmering dresses and high heels - a disco ball spinning, scattering light all around, and yes - an elevated dance floor with colored lights flashing underneath in a square grid. Pounding dance beats with strings and horns. Lots of dancing. This was about 3 years before the Saturday Night Fever movie & soundtrack came out, but the New York area was leading the trend. I wasn't hip enough to be part of it, but I can testify - it was real... all that was really going on.
Happy Anniversary Y'all!

Yes..from the movie Sat.nite fever...the dance floor at Night Fever - kingsway hotel - Edmonton Canada...had same floor 78" - 84..Yes we danced every nite like Tavolta💥 Thx 4 memories❤❤❤ Prof. Walt
You Should Be Dancing is from the Album, Children of the World, and was #1 on the BillBoard Hot 100 September 4, 1976. The song was also included on the Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack from 1977, as was Jive Talkin", a #1 hit from August 1975.
Saturday Night Fever, saw this movie in theaters about 5 or 6 times, I learned all the dance moves and taught family and friends how to disco dance!! Great memories!! Awesome reactions guys!! 😊💓🤘✌️ Oh Happy Anniversary!!
Happy anniversary! Now, there used to be a time when music was fun, and that's how it should be. With meaning, no bad words or cursing, and putting people down. I really miss music being what I define as normal, and just good pure fun.
"What you doin' on your bed on your back? Ah" 😆 . Just last year, my wife, I, and a couple of friends were riding in the car listening to this song, and we all wondered what the Bee Gees were saying during that part of the song. We're all over 50 and have been listening to this song since we were children. We looked up the lyrics and we all just howled with laughter. We had no idea that's what they were saying. Now whenever we hear it, we all just fall out laughing!!! So funny!
A great performance to listen to is "Nights on Broadway" live on the Midnight Special. Barry sings in his normal voice, Robin shares the lead vocals, and Maurice sings the falsetto near the end of the song. Great showcase of their talents!
If you haven't already, watch the movie, "Saturday Night Fever". That was John Travolta dancing in this clip from the movie, and the Bee Gees did the movie soundtrack. Huge movie for John Travolta, and lots of radio air play for the Bee Gees. 1977 was a big year for disco music.
This song, by far, is the epitome of what disco is!!! It is THE disco song!! Nothing else like it ever again. It defines the vibe that was disco music. And that’s coming from a lifelong metal head!! Lol
I have only subscribed to one reaction channel but your words during this fabulous performance by one of my all time favs...has convinced me. I am now subscribed to 2 reaction channels. I was blessed to grow up listening to the BeeGees...I had a t shirt of theirs and I wore the thing til it fell apart 😊. It's so refreshing to see people of your age appreciating "real" music. I've tried to get my son interested and he just doesn't understand that it took real talent...not a computer. Keep on keeping on 💙
Pretty amazing they had already written the songs for this movie BEFORE their manager even asked them about doing it. Like ‘poof’, manager says I want you to write songs for a movie about this New Yorker entering a dance competition and the brothers say ‘well we are actually working on this album’ and it was the soundtrack to the movie.
Figures you'd hit double digits on Bee Gees reactions on your one-year anniversary!! Can't go wrong with the Brothers Gibb. You've done so many of their 70s hits (not "Stayin' Alive"?), but they had some great songs in the 80s too, like "You Win Again" and "One". You'd like seeing that side of them.
I was a teenager when this came out. This BLEW UP. it was epic. So much fun. The 70's was by far my favorite time for music. It was an awesome time. I feel so lucky. Thank you both for the memories.
Happy Anniversary guys!! I really enjoyed watching Jay, then Amber started making an appearance and I loved it! I look forward to seeing y'all on a daily basis! Love and hugs!! ♥️❤️
This song is my current earworm. I grew up with it and I am as enchanted with it now as I was as a teen in the 70's. I've been watching several reaction videos like yours and it's so great to see people your age bouncing to this; it really is that kind of a song!
The movie was a pretty good representation of the disco days (however, short lived). And yes, there were, in several large cities, weekly disco dance competitions that paid pretty decent money for the times. But as someone below said, most of us were fun dancers and not at the level to be considered professional stompers.
Happy Anniversary guys! The lyrics are really hard to understand. Given what they actually are, and that it was mid- 1970s, that's probably not an accident. Here they are: My baby moves at midnight Goes right on 'til the dawn My woman takes me higher My woman keeps me warm What you doin' on your bed on your back? Ah What you doin' on your bed on your back? Ah You should be dancing, yeah Dancing, yeah She's juicy and she's trouble She gets it to me good My woman gives me power Goes right down to my blood What you doin' on your bed on your back?

I was a teenager during this era, EVERYONE would get up and dance! Between the flashing lights from the disco ball, and lights under or around the floor, even if you didn’t know how to dance, nobody would notice!!💃🏻🕺🏽😄
Yes, those were disco floors and that actor dancing was John Travolta. For female Friday, you should check out Amii Stewart's official Knock On Wood video . . . another fave from that era.
The BeeGees never get OLD, they stay young forever. Since Amber is wearing a Stevie Nicks shirt, I suggest her hit "Talk To Me." Thanks! John Travolta sure killed it.
The dancer is John Travolta and the movie is Saturday Night Fever. It was a huge hit.
Huge. Disco was real.
God I miss Disco. And Discos.
He went from Grease to this to Urban Cowboy and did them all well.
@@videovisions don’t forget Welcome Back Kotter

I'm 70 years old and yes we did dance like that. It was a good work out,
I'll never get tired of watching young people discover how cool the previous generations actually were!
Yes!
Too right. Every time they see us, they need to remember we got DOWN!

This scene is arguably one of the most iconic dance scenes in film history. It helped make John Travolta world famous.
John sure had the moves! He was fantastic!
Who knew that Vinnie Barberino would turn out to be world famous?! ☺️
This song is partially why the soundtrack to 'Saturday Night Fever' is, deservedly, one of the best-selling albums in history.
This song is joy.
The song was released (1976) a year before the movie's release (1977).
They dont even Notice thats John Travolta dancing lol IM Shocked

Yes, do watch SNF, but be aware, there's some adult & challenging content, including sexual assault, and a ?suicide?

I believe that some people who said they didn't like it were being honest, because they couldn't dance. 😂
And then there was all those folks burning records
Loved the 70's, loved dancing, and LOVED dancing to the Bee Gees.
If you loved rock, you have to love disco. Plain and simple. Don't try to deny it.
You’ll notice that almost no one ever, ever tries to cover a song from that soundtrack, because every track is simply perfection, and no one can add anything to those songs. Their talents in music were from top to bottom, writing, performing, producing-all top level.
Samantha Sang tried. Dionne Warwick covered.
What are you talking about there at least two covers from the soundtrack that were hit records.
That’s true
Tavares covered More Than a Woman on the Soundtrack...
A beautiful rendition that also played in the movie...
Kim Wilde If I can't have you is a decent cover. New Order off shoot group Monaco does a great version of this song.. and they kept the horns in, Guillermo Martin does a great version of Night Fever that sounds like Enrique Iglesias singing. These are the rare exceptions
Almost every night club back then had illuminated dance floors. It was so much fun! Mixed crowds and without ANY PROBLEMS.....GREAT TIMES
Yes we really did dance like this at discos everywhere in the late 70’s. Those were the days. The Saturday Night Fever soundtrack was killer!
The Bee gees Abba Queen Led Zeppelin Boston ,, Queen The Eagles ,, THE 70s Baby
Essential watching: "Saturday Night Fever"! The soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever is one of the best selling albums of all time, and the second best soundtrack album after The Bodyguard.
That album was fire! Yvonne Elleman had her best song on there too!
The soundtrack to Flashdance is amazing too!
Barry is more than just his voice. You're just scratching the surface with him.
Absolutely!
You never need an excuse to play a Bee Gees song. They are my favorite as well. And yes Barry is amazing!❤
I WANNA yell my head off lol Jay n Amber Thats John Travolta dancing How can you NOT notice lol ,,,,,,,,,, Im SHOCKED
The dance was known as "The Hustle!" And, yes! WE REALLY DID DANCE LIKE THAT!
The dancing clip is from the movie Saturday Night Fever and the dancer John travolta. And yes there were dance floors like that!

Are we ever going to get a Bee Gees reaction with Robin on lead vocals. You’re missing out on his beautifully aching voice. Just in case “I Started A Joke” and “Massachusetts” 🙏🏼😉
Not to mention "Gotta Get A Message to You."
I agree regarding Robin - And check out Mo’s vocals too, to get the full picture of these guys: Man in the middle, Closer than Close or Wildflower.
Both great songs!
I’m sure they will get to them in time.
"To Love Somebody"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Imagine their parents blessed with 4 sons who sing like angels.
This song is a testament to the musical genius of the Bee Gees who made a major comeback by merging their original style with disco
"Disco Lights" were very much a part of the Disco craze. They not only lined and hovered precariously over and around the dance floor, but adorned many a teenage room circa 1975-1979!!!!!
A few cars and vans, too!
Guilty!! I loved my disco lights in my bedroom!! LOL!
Samantha Sang had a hit in the '70's with the BeeGees doing back up with a song called Emotion. She could have easily been a BeeGee sister, her voice blends so well with them.
There was a Beegee sister who did at least 1 concert early on when Robin left to do his own thing
She is fire like and comment th-cam.com/video/rk6Qd3VBU48/w-d-xo.html
Fun fact... it was only Barry by himself singing all the background vocals on that song. Robin co-wrote Emotion but wasn't there for the recording.
"Ole boy" getting it on the dance floor is John Travolta...Those are scenes from the movie Saturday Night Fever, which made Travolta a star.
So glad I was in my later teens when the Bee Gees were in their prime. It was a special times, and we knew it!
I chose this song at my son’s wedding. People almost created havoc getting on the dance floor. Not an empty seat in the room 😅
John Travolta could really dance!! This is the best video because it has all 4 Gibb brothers in it! Only one brother, Barry, is still with us, so it is special to see all 4 on the stage together.
Andy does not actually sing in this though. This is the official recording combined with concert footage.
@@nelerhabarber5602 Stayin' Alive is the sequel to Saturday Night Fever! He also did country dancing in Urban Cowboy. Very cool about Gene Kelly's brother, I didn't know that.
Happy Anniversary! TH-cam is better with y'all on it. Y'all definitely make me smile. Glad you are celebrating with The BeeGees.
That floor was all that and more, disco fever.
Saturday night fever. movie and sound track was awesome, check it out!
Ditto. Their reaction made my day!
Yelp we did it was groovy!
She is fire like and comment th-cam.com/video/rk6Qd3VBU48/w-d-xo.html
Yup, we really danced like that, even in the 80's. I spent at least one night a week at the club back in the day, and at least 3/4th of the time was spent dancing. And I agree with that ya'll need to hear "I started a Joke" and "Massachusetts" which puts Robin in the lead singer seat. They were all phenomenal singers.
The bass though! The drums! The horns! Everything perfection!~
Quick fact: They originally wanted to use a dance double for Travolta's character in SNF, but he went off and trained like mad when he got the role and was consequently able to do all the dancing himself. And it really added to the movie because they could shoot him Fred-Astaire style in full figure.
If you haven't seen the movie, you should. It's era-defining, and Travolta is almost preposterously beautiful in it.
Yes, Discos really had those dance floors! I did some of the early moves but there are a few people who can dance like John Travolta! Saturday Night Fever was such a hit that Sesame Street did an album called Sesame Street Fever that I used with my preschool kids. You should see if you can find the album for your kids. I think they would really love it.
I would love to see what young parents today think of School House Rock. I loved it so much as a kid and bought the whole set for my niece and she loved it. I realized years ago that I use what I learned on School House Rock to do simple math fast in my head. Unfortunately the American History ones are highly inaccurate but they have the best songs. Lol I listen to it every now and then still when I want a hit of nostalgia. ✌🏽💗
Happy Anniversary!! Love the Bee Gees. They are so smooth, classic. My daughter always tells me not to dance and point my fingers, lol. But John Travolta did it. Homeboy is John Travolta .
Yes, some floors at discos, not all, were like the one in the video. Some people were great dancers, especially at discos in larger cities. However, most of us danced like mere mortals. Our confidence in our dancing abilities grew as the night went on.
BTW, the lighted floors became very slippery when wet. If you stepped on an ice cube, you were toast. Lots of drinks were spilled. Happy Anniversary!

You Should Be Dancing was released in 1976 by the older brothers Bee Gees. What you're watching is a Bee Gees concert in 1979, which Andy Gibbs made an appearance (after having debuted as a successful solo artist).
Can’t beat The BeeGees for dancing music! 👍🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧
"Saturday Night Fever" has a couple of the most iconic dance scenes in movie history and the "You Should Be Dancing" scene is one of them! "More Than a Woman" (another BeeGees song) is the other one. The entire movie is essentially a tribute to the disco era (the film's soundtrack is amazing and still one of the best-selling albums in history).
One of my favourite movies
Except for Frank Zappa's parody: Bald Headed Woman, I agree. My wife got the Bee Gee's greatest hits and You Should Be Dancing was. like, the last song on Disc 1; I hadn't heard this tune in DECADES (an over reaction to Disco I guess...) but I was amazed how driven and dynamic the song was==I didn't even know Andy took part in recording it.
I absolutely LOVE the "More Than a Woman" dance scene. It was so beautifully done.... yeah, you two definitely need to react to that one!!
More Than a Women for sure!
No, Andy was a drop-in guest for that night's concert. Even Travolta dropped by once. He didn't record this with them. IF Andy had lived and not suddenly died a few days after his 30th birthday in 1988, he would have officially joined the Bee Fees that year. That was the plan.
This is the movie that put the BeeGees in iconic status! They had at least 6 hits off this movie soundtrack! And yes John Travolta did all of the dancing. He practiced a lot. They talked about how much he practiced for these parts! It truly wasn’t a disco without a lit plexiglass dance floor and disco ball with lights.
The 70s 70s 70s 70s 70s LOL OOOOOYAAAH Best dance songs EVEEEEER Staying Alive,, Play that funky music ,, Brick house
Danny Terio worked with Travolta to get the dancing down. He watched Travolta's natural movement and built the dances around those abilities. Danny was the dancing king back then. Not sure I spelled his name correctly. And, this is not technically disco.
But, you sure can dance to it..to steal a line from American Bandstand.
And.. yes...the floors were like that and we wore dresses that twirled for dancing.
My absolute favorite BeeGees song! My friends daughter got married a few years ago ( she's in her 20's) and this song came on for everyone to dance to, and all of us old schoolers (40' and 50's) got up immediately and started dancing like there was no tomorrow! The 20 somethings just sat there and thought we were all crazy!
I had it at both my weddings lol. Those youngsters missed out on heaps of great music
She is fire like and comment th-cam.com/video/rk6Qd3VBU48/w-d-xo.html
That's disco Era in its finest ! Music, dancing, singing and lighting
Wha'cha Doin'' On Ya-Butt? You Should Be Dancin', Yeah! When I saw it written out, I was like, "Oh, that's what they're sayin'!
That was John Travolta dancing in the hit movie "Saturday Night Fever", at the height of the Disco era! And yes, the dance floors really were lit up like that! One of my favorite dance clubs here in Oklahoma had a huge lit-up dance floor like that. So much fun! Thanks for your reaction!
Louisville Ky, had "Whispering Hills" which had the light up dance floor.. so many great nights
She is fire like and comment th-cam.com/video/rk6Qd3VBU48/w-d-xo.html
@@Sportsref13 we had "Charley Bear's up here in Columbus Ohio
Those disco days were fantastic! The music, clothes, guys knew how to dance and it was party time all night!
Jay/Amber, their "To Love Somebody" and "Stayin' Alive" are next for you!! Love the Sister Rosetta Tharpe shirt!
She is Sharp! But, her name is Tharpe!
@@mr.marcus3123 thank you. fixed
Disco was my favorite time. My late husband and I were dance teachers and danced everyday . The Bee Gees were the greatest. And yes there were dance floors that lite up. People dressed up . And energy was high ❤️🕺🏼💃
I would like to put you both in a time machine and send you back, so you could experience and feel the wonders of the music back then !Yes We danced like that...some of us still do! You both would have fit in so well back then! and watching you makes me feel it all over again and in my mind I'm dancing on a lighted floor, under a sparkling ball, And all is right with the world Because I'm dancing to the best music in the world!
"That boy" is John Travolta in one of the most famous movies of the 70s. The soundtrack is still a top 5 selling album.
I guess they don’t watch movies
NUMBER 2
This song is still Phenominal after all of these years! The 70s truly were A Happening!! You really just HAD to be there!!
Totally
I Was I wish the time now was back in the 70s The most fun i have ever had
Oh yes, that was the standard for dance clubs in the mid-70's, the era of Disco. At the end of the night, everyone was a sweaty mess. The BeeGees got on the soundtrack for the movie Saturday Night Fever and the rest is history. Put John Travolta on the map (those scenes were of him dancing in the movie).
Yes, light-up floors was really a thing.
I know Andy LOVED this. He wanted to be in the group with his brothers...
❤❤❤❤
He did and Barry wanted him to be in the band but Robin pushed back on that so it never happened, then it was too late.😂
Not everyone danced (or could dance) like John Travolta, but many tried! Lighted dance floors were out there in some places, and many more showed up after the movie "Saturday Night Fever" became a hit! John Travolta (or his choreographer) came up with the iconic "Disco Point" that everyone does when they hear a disco song. It was the album cover on the soundtrack of the movie, which y'all need to check out!
I danced on lighted dance floors in the '70s.
It's not the floor that lights up it's the lighting above the floor that causes that effect.
My boyfriend’s roommate could give John a run for his money. Scott could dance! No jealousy from my BF when we danced together. He was just that good.
If you're looking for an amazing falsetto, you really need to react to "Sherry" by the Four Seasons. Frankie Valli had one of the best falsetto voices around. And yes, discos had dance floors like that.
Happy Anniversary! Amber, you have to do Samantha Sang - "Emotions" as a celebration gift to Jay for Female Friday.
- That's John Travolta dancing.
- Yes, discos had dance floors like that.
- John Travolta actually had a top ten hit song in the 70's "Let Her In" you should check out.
I was 10 years young when I heard this song for the 1st time. I was blown away, I could not wait for you should be dancing to play on the radio. What a sensational feeling.
Great reaction! I wish disco could come back. People would be so much happier and healthier to just dance. Barry was almost electric in this performance.
Then it switched to C&W,disco era was over,
Great reaction Amber and Jay, can't go wrong with the Bee Gees. One more you might get a kick out of (as you reacted to them recently) is the Foo Fighters version of this where they brand themselves as the "Dee Gees" (David Grohl) featuring the Foo Fighters as you've never heard them (David singing the falsetto parts and of course Taylor Hawkins on the drums).
Omg, YES!!! And DeeGees Shadow Dancin with Taylor on vocals! 🤩 Just gutted about such a tragic loss 😭💔
I was totally going to recommend this, too! It’s so good. Haha.
Yes, yes, yes! Barry Gibb was quite honored that the Foos did this. They did a whole album called "Hail Satin" and it's great!!
You should check out Bee Gees Wonder Wall . By Joshua Woo . He's a Streamer on Twitch. For all you Falsetto needs 👍😘
Happy Anniversary!!!
And yes, that's what it was like during the 'disco' movement...lol... I'm still waiting for you guys to react to The Bee Gee's, 'Nights On Broadway' live from The Midnight Special!!
THIS, this video right here is why I absolutely LOVE you two! I quite literally got up and danced a bit with your chair dancing!!! Thank you so very much for the last year, here's to many many more!! Blessings 💜
We TRIED to dance like that! Hah! And yes, many discos had light up floors.
Omg I miss those days!! Yes we did dance like that and we hit the disco every weekend..we did line dancing also like doing the hustle, we had a blast the 70s was the best time to be a teen..between the disco songs and the rock songs we had the best music also..I think it's to cool that you 2 love the music of that era.
The Bee Gees never disappoint when it comes to Music 🎶
To answer Amber's question, yes, there were clubs just like that. I was a semi-hippy nerdy engineering student from the Midwest whose musical taste ran to Neil Young and Joni Mitchell, but in the early summer of 1974 - before I knew what disco was - I took a trip out east to look at Grad Schools, and I stopped to visit my college roomie at his hometown in Fishkill New York in the Hudson Valley. All the time I was driving I remember my am radio playing the Hues Corporation song "Rock the Boat" - which was early disco.. I found it slightly annoying, but it got in my head nonetheless --- One night, my roomie took me on a drive toward the Big Apple - not in to the city, but fairly close to it, and we went in a dance club. I'd never seen anything like it - guys in colorful silk-print shirts, girls all in shimmering dresses and high heels - a disco ball spinning, scattering light all around, and yes - an elevated dance floor with colored lights flashing underneath in a square grid. Pounding dance beats with strings and horns. Lots of dancing. This was about 3 years before the Saturday Night Fever movie & soundtrack came out, but the New York area was leading the trend. I wasn't hip enough to be part of it, but I can testify - it was real... all that was really going on.
Happy Anniversary Y'all!
Bee Gee's "You should be dancing" Lyrics:

Thx 4 memories❤❤❤
Prof. Walt
Love the Bee Gees from their 60s sound right through! Great singers, musicians and composers! Awesome!
You Should Be Dancing is from the Album, Children of the World, and was #1 on the BillBoard Hot 100 September 4, 1976. The song was also included on the Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack from 1977, as was Jive Talkin", a #1 hit from August 1975.
Saturday Night Fever, saw this movie in theaters about 5 or 6 times, I learned all the dance moves and taught family and friends how to disco dance!! Great memories!! Awesome reactions guys!! 😊💓🤘✌️
Oh Happy Anniversary!!
Happy anniversary! Now, there used to be a time when music was fun, and that's how it should be. With meaning, no bad words or cursing, and putting people down. I really miss music being what I define as normal, and just good pure fun.

"What you doin' on your bed on your back? Ah" 😆 . Just last year, my wife, I, and a couple of friends were riding in the car listening to this song, and we all wondered what the Bee Gees were saying during that part of the song. We're all over 50 and have been listening to this song since we were children. We looked up the lyrics and we all just howled with laughter. We had no idea that's what they were saying. Now whenever we hear it, we all just fall out laughing!!! So funny!
Popular when I was in high school and was fortunate enough to get into Studio 54 in 1978. Seems like yesterday
A great performance to listen to is "Nights on Broadway" live on the Midnight Special. Barry sings in his normal voice, Robin shares the lead vocals, and Maurice sings the falsetto near the end of the song. Great showcase of their talents!
I’ve been WAITING for them to get to that one. And Fanny Be Tender.
Great recommendation
I agree - another great song you should listen to!
If you haven't already, watch the movie, "Saturday Night Fever". That was John Travolta dancing in this clip from the movie, and the Bee Gees did the movie soundtrack. Huge movie for John Travolta, and lots of radio air play for the Bee Gees. 1977 was a big year for disco music.
This song, by far, is the epitome of what disco is!!! It is THE disco song!! Nothing else like it ever again. It defines the vibe that was disco music. And that’s coming from a lifelong metal head!! Lol
Absolutely bang on....peak disco!
I have only subscribed to one reaction channel but your words during this fabulous performance by one of my all time favs...has convinced me. I am now subscribed to 2 reaction channels. I was blessed to grow up listening to the BeeGees...I had a t shirt of theirs and I wore the thing til it fell apart 😊. It's so refreshing to see people of your age appreciating "real" music. I've tried to get my son interested and he just doesn't understand that it took real talent...not a computer. Keep on keeping on 💙
Barry Gibb is a very prolific song writer as well. He wrote for everyone, including the Dolly Parton/Kenny Rogers duet, Islands in the Stream.
Pretty amazing they had already written the songs for this movie BEFORE their manager even asked them about doing it. Like ‘poof’, manager says I want you to write songs for a movie about this New Yorker entering a dance competition and the brothers say ‘well we are actually working on this album’ and it was the soundtrack to the movie.
Listen to The Bee Gees “to love somebody”. Probably the best written song of all time. And not your typical bee gee disco song. This one is from 1967
Agreed. Then do Keith Urban’s version at their tribute event. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Figures you'd hit double digits on Bee Gees reactions on your one-year anniversary!! Can't go wrong with the Brothers Gibb. You've done so many of their 70s hits (not "Stayin' Alive"?), but they had some great songs in the 80s too, like "You Win Again" and "One". You'd like seeing that side of them.
That era can't be beat. 70s greatest singers ever, ever
Yes, the floors were lit and moved with the music! It was enchanting. Spent every weekend dancing at Crazyhorse in Kent, OH
My favorite song from The Bee Gees and this part of Saturday Night fever 🔥🔥🔥
I was a teenager when this came out. This BLEW UP. it was epic. So much fun. The 70's was by far my favorite time for music. It was an awesome time. I feel so lucky. Thank you both for the memories.
Happy Anniversary to the Channel guys. Thank you for bringing light, love, and smiles into the world everyday!
Happy Anniversary guys!! I really enjoyed watching Jay, then Amber started making an appearance and I loved it! I look forward to seeing y'all on a daily basis! Love and hugs!! ♥️❤️
Yes , I been to a lot of clubs with the lights for dance floors !🕺
This song is my current earworm. I grew up with it and I am as enchanted with it now as I was as a teen in the 70's. I've been watching several reaction videos like yours and it's so great to see people your age bouncing to this; it really is that kind of a song!
Congrats!!!! Love you guys! When's that movie channel coming? Saturday Night Fever needs to be your 1st.
The movie was a pretty good representation of the disco days (however, short lived). And yes, there were, in several large cities, weekly disco dance competitions that paid pretty decent money for the times. But as someone below said, most of us were fun dancers and not at the level to be considered professional stompers.
Happy Anniversary guys!
The lyrics are really hard to understand. Given what they actually are, and that it was mid- 1970s, that's probably not an accident. Here they are:
My baby moves at midnight

The harmony of these brothers...in falsetto...unmatched.
I was a teenager during this era, EVERYONE would get up and dance! Between the flashing lights from the disco ball, and lights under or around the floor, even if you didn’t know how to dance, nobody would notice!!💃🏻🕺🏽😄
You really need to watch the movie, but it's definitely an adult movie, it's not all happy dancing. Great reaction, and happy anniversary again!
Yes, those were disco floors and that actor dancing was John Travolta. For female Friday, you should check out Amii Stewart's official Knock On Wood video . . . another fave from that era.
The BeeGees never get OLD, they stay young forever. Since Amber is wearing a Stevie Nicks shirt, I suggest her hit "Talk To Me." Thanks! John Travolta sure killed it.
I love the ‘kids’ finding disco again. Such fun
Saturday Night Fever was HUGE.❤🥳 John Travolta was AWESOME!❤
LOVE the Bee Gees❤
LOVE Saturday Night Fever❤
