The first is FUN, get your mind out of the gutter people!
As a New Yawker, I felt it was only proper for our first Fun Friday to post a Bee Gees' song from Saturday Night Fever. Unless you lived under a rock for the last 30 years you have seen Saturday Night Fever or at least heard the soundtrack.
Where do you even begin? This movie is a classic and believe it or not regarded by critics as one of the best movies in 1977. Every guy in Brooklyn wanted to be John Travolta and emulated his every move. Today, you could still find them, silly yet true.
The Saturday Night Fever soundtrack was the best selling soundtrack of all time until it was dethroned by Titanic. If that made you sad, don't worry, it made me sad too. The Bee Gees contributed 5 songs to the album. I had to post "Night Fever". Some may argue that it should have been "Stayin' Alive" because it played during Tony's famous strut down 86th Street. I feel "Night Fever" is used in even more important scenes. Tony, the king of the dance floor, is practicing his moves and getting ready for his night out at 2001 Odyssey. It is used again in the big dance scene that starts with that goofy chick saying "I just kissed Al Pacino". Dancing the whole premise of the movie.
Can you dig it, I knew that you could!
Quotes from this movie have been the source of many laughs for me through the years. Best line in a movie ever "What the hell do you expect me to do man, what do you expect me to do, he helped me."
One Porkchop, Hits My Hair scene
Just a note minimum wage was $2.30 an hour in 1977. Now get on your disco shoes and hit the club.
What do you expect me to do, what did you expect me to do, he heeeeelped me! That's for Colie!
