"You Should Be Dancing" by the Bee Gees goes to #1 in America. The next year, it is used in the Saturday Night Fever scene where John Travolta clears the dance floor.
Lecture 15: Barry Gibb and his younger brothers, twins Robin and Maurice, were a musical powerhouse. As the band the Bee Gees (formed in 1958 and originally a pop act) they recorded a number of hits, including a string of #1s. But their real talent was in song writing. In one year alone, 1978, they were responsible for 13 singles on the Billboard Top 200, either as song writers or singers - 12 of which broke the top 40. The Bee Gees would go on to become not just one of the most successful groups of all time, with well over 100 million in estimated unit sales, but also one of the most successful song-writing partnerships in music history. Here’s a live 1979 performance of their 1976 hit “You Should Be Dancing,” featuring little brother Andy Gibb. This song was the band’s first foray in to disco, a genre they would later come to symbolize.
Unpopular opinion, but cemeteries shouldn’t be considered a dark, scary place. I hate it when people say goths are disrespecting the dead when they go spend time in graveyards (although standing on tombs and being a nuisance is in fact disrespectful)
If you were dead, wouldn’t you want people to keep you company? That’s a person’s final resting place. Would you want people to leave you alone as if you were something repulsive? No. You’d want people to be around, filling the air with laughter and life.
When I die I want people to hang out around my grave as if I were there too. Crack jokes about me, laugh about what I’d say or do if I were there. It makes me so sad to see people treating the dead as if they’re repulsive. Imagine how lonely that would be!
