Saturday Night Fever OST

I do want to mention the pizza slice next time I get pizza I'm [ __ ] stacking him like that I've never done that in my life well I thought he just folded him I didn't know he stacked stacked them he [ __ ] stacked I had a posit like is he [ __ ] is he stacking pizza slices just on top of each other not like a not like a a [ __ ] czone like one on top of the other huh yeah see I thought he fold it and I even thought that I'm like damn that pizza looks good I even said it too and Tammy's like you don't even like New York Pizza I do I New York Pizza is not the best welcome back to as9 radio a

are doing the soundtrack to the movie Saturday Night Fever now Jeff what is your um what's your origin story with Saturday Night Fever the movie the soundtrack all of it what do you got go the first something I saw this movie was in high school um semr at some point I talked about it and I watched it and then that was Netflix was still doing the uh the the subscription thing where they send you DVDs remember yeah and so like I I would just because my intention span um I was I was more eager to for for knowledge I guess or something I watched a lot of these older movies just constantly and that's the first time I saw it didn't really like it that much um I like the music though because I really always liked caseing the Sunshine Band yeah but um I didn't really like the movie that much didn't really understand I thought it was kind of goofy and then fast forward to essentially like when I moved to Arizona and we went to the Tuesday night movies at the local theater which it's like five bucks and they play old movies and we saw Saturday Night Fever there and I was like holy [ __ ] this is a uh problematic things aside like holy [ __ ] this is a a [ __ ] time piece this is absolutely amazing this is what I think is a great representation of what life was like for these people during this time at the the essentially the height of the Disco craze right before the downfall and I think this is uh it's it's great but I do like disco I've never I've never I've never like been one to really hate on Disco I like disco I love cas seen the Sunshine Band I have their their their albums on the vinyls I listen to them listen to them this week and I've always just I've always liked disco it's fine I don't hate it I think it's fun there's a time and place for it so when we get into like the album of the week I have a lot of bangers but I will say if it's like raining outside and I'm I'm feeling like Postal Service I'm not going to jump from poal service to Saturday Night Fever to Casey the sunshine ban disco's definitely I got to be I got to be in the mood for it and even then I can only really take it for so long yeah I do I do enjoy it though all right uh my my origin story I saw it in high school uh I took a film class in high school and we watched it and I remember nothing from it I remember not enjoying it and um I I've never been into disco I never got it I still don't get it um but yeah I never watched it I haven't watched it since then and I threw it on a couple days ago and uh I was watching with with Tammy and uh she was like what is this this is like why why are we watching this and I said I didn't tell her we were doing it on the podcast and I said I just haven't seen it in a long time and then it finished and she's like I don't get it why why is this movie so popular and I in some ways I agree I don't think it's that great of a movie the soundtrack I don't care for disco really I I understand it's significance you know in the music industry and all that kind of stuff but I just don't like this genre of music I really don't baby here we go here we go I really don't man I and I would I really thought the movie was going to be something completely different I thought it was going to be something completely different not John Travolta whining the entire time um but uh yeah that that that's my origin story kind of my initial thoughts on on the on the movie and the soundtrack and also real quick before we dive deep into this this is different because the soundtrack doesn't tell a story the soundtrack are just songs that were in the movie multiple times um so they don't progress the story whatsoever like we've done other soundtracks like Rocky Horror Nightmare Before Christmas a couple weeks ago and that's those are proper musicals those are ones that progress the story this one does not do that at all right it's just a handful of disco songs and scores so let's just jump right into this I mean we're not going so we're not going to go track by track we're just going to kind of give our biggest bangers if we have any stinkers we're going to go through those so do you have any stinkers I have no stinkers no okay I don't either I don't think anything was bad on this everything was appropriate for the movie but I yeah I have no stinkers I I I also had like I had some Village People on the vinyls too and I think I would still I still own a 45 of Macho Man because that's my favorite Village People song um s is such a [ __ ] Banger it is but I I don't oh yeah sorry but like I I I I listen to the cuz I have this on the vinyl to Saturday Night Live I have clean copy OG pressing fever but that's fine I'm going to say it a lot this week or this this episode I've been saying a lot this week just in my mind to myself so yeah I have this on the vinyls I like it I love this soundtrack I think it's fantastic I do enjoy Disco This movie was was in some ways difficult to watch because the appropriation of disco itself in how it's portrayed in the movie is like come on man [ __ ] dumb but then it was a lot darker than than so like when I saw it in theaters I think it was like two years ago maybe a year and a half ago it was a lot darker than I remember I was like wow I don't remember this being that's [ __ ] dark man like good thing I did not bring the kids cuz usually I bring the kids to all these old like 70s rated RoR movies cuz maybe they see like one boob or they say like a bad word one time and that's it but this one was like holy [ __ ] man there's there's some serious [ __ ] in here and like yeah it it glosses over it pretty pretty pretty non chalantly in ways that are that are tough to kind of get by and like the main character Tony's kind of a bad dude in a way that that he's not he's not really redeemable in any way no that's what I was so surprised about like the the whole movie starts out I love the beginning of the movie like the the credit the credit stuff like you know it's just kind of goes into the City and then the song starts and the Travolta is just like strutting down the street with his his suit on and everything and I'm like dude this is [ __ ] rad this is so cool like I I was really really excited for it and then all of a sudden it just like takes a complete left turn and it's like wow this is this is really dark I mean just real quick what they touch upon you know rape suicide well like gang rape and also rape like the main character Tony is is essentially going to rape the main the main woman in the movie yeah it's crazy she forgives him like the next that that scenes the next day yeah and she honestly she even says so stupid I don't normally like let a rapist into my house and then she's like but come in oh my God know right God just bad writing dude it's bad writing but like this is this is man there's just so much this is 1970s New York City New York in the 70s was an absolute [ __ ] hole crime was at its like Peak especially like like like the inner cities and in Bronx and Brooklyn these these kind of like ghettos were just [ __ ] decimated people like claimed that all those fires that were happening in like the Bronx in the 70s were because these these people or corporations that own these high-rise rental places because they were so dilapidated it would cost more money to fix them up they just burned them for the insurance money so that they could walk away and start new somewhere else essentially leaving leaving these like these the Burrows to to rot in the 70s were a [ __ ] rough rough rough time for New York City AR be like one of the roughest New York City's ever seen you know it's like we we've talked about like oh like what's the time period or what's the time you'd ever you want to go back and like experience you know I always thought like 1960s 7s New York Las Vegas and Los Angeles like those three cities like in the 60s and 70s I would love to go in a time machine and see them just to see like how kind of dirty gross [ __ ] up it was it actually was you know it it was definitely [ __ ] up be scary as hell yeah it be scary as hell but it's just like it's such to me it's so fascinating just how these cities were so terrible back in that time and a lot of them you know have come back but also gone back just reading about how disco was formed why it was formed it was it it's it's [ __ ] disgusting it is disgusting the way people were treated and I think like to really get an appreciation for why this movie is better than you think it is because it is better than you think it is it really is I think to get like an appreciation for that we need to like understand where disco came from like who started disco really and like who who who was disco for like who was the the target audience for disco right yeah and so kind of like uh the music coming up from the 60s and that's very the hippie movement and the counterculture stuff but that's a that's that's a that's a white people thing the biggest names were all like the white people the folk artists and so we have this group of people that are doing like the Psychedelic Funk stuff and then we get into like the early 70s where we having like the start of the black exploitation films and so now we're getting these marginalized groups of of essentially like like black people and then gays right yeah because the first like gay the gay March gay pride March that was not until like 1970 coming out of the late 60s riots were happening in New York in the late 60s because like police were raiding gay bars why were they rating gay bars because people in these gay bars I guess dress up they crossdress and so police were allowed to go into these gay bars put people against the wall and physically check to see if they were a man or a woman if you were crossdressing you get thrown in The Slammer this [ __ ] happened the Stonewall riots these were things that happened and this was like late late 60s 1969 these were actual riots happening because police were raiding bars to like physically check how what are you how the [ __ ] is that even like how did this happen on Earth I know it long AG it's not that long ago yeah so this is this is why disco is happening in the 70s and disco is happening in the 70s because now we're seeing like mtown kind of like really get into their own and and become something more than just oh yeah that's just mtown that's its own separate sect it's like well no that's there's a lot of like really great songwriters that were also like white people that were writing for mowtown and a lot of black people from mowtown were writing for white people that were in like the The Counter Culture hippie movement so there should have been there should have been what you call integration between the two but there wasn't because we want to romanticize the 60s and early 70s this great cultural movement which it was there's a lot of good stuff but like there was a lot of bad stuff terrible [ __ ] yeah and so I think disco I don't think this this is not like my opinion this is a lot of opinion on on the internets that disco came about because these margin line groups wanted someplace to go to feel safe to be with each other to integrate themselves and that's why disco was formed so given that I think it's great that disco exists because it exists for a certain type of people and that's their [ __ ] music you don't like it don't go who gives a [ __ ] right but then here Karen lies the problem with Saturday Night Fever we got [ __ ] John Travolta starring it and all of his friends are white all the main characters are white and so now we have this this this this thing that was that was created to to make people feel inclusive that were normally not able to feel inclusive now they can't do it anyway because the biggest movie that's ever been for their genre of music is done by people that are not them yeah and even in the movie you know they they go and get in a fight with um the the Puerto Rican gang you know based off of race you know a a racist brawl a racist fight you know which I'm not I'm not opposed to that I'm not opposed to to the language in the movie like I'm not opposed watch wasn't talking about the language talking about actual little fight well I'm I'm not opposed to to gang fights and this is the 1970s that's I I get it it's just like why am I watching [ __ ] John dvol to fight a bunch of Puerto Ricans when like this not his this not his scene it's not who you're not a representation of the scene and that's that was that was such a weird thing about the movie it's like you know you go in and Travolta is like he's loved by everybody at at the Disco Tech you know they they everybody wants to dance with him all the girls love him you know and he really is like a [ __ ] great dancer though killer [ __ ] dancer he did all of those dances I know it's [ __ ] it's great it's [ __ ] one shot in the entire movie that was not him and it was supposed to be him but it was not him the only shot in the entire movie what shot was it it was in the very beginning when he's like he's strutting down and he sees it was EI it was right before he picked up the pizza and he sees the shoes in the store window that are like his shoes and he lifts his leg up to compare the two shoes that shot right there is the only shot that was not him and even Travolta complained about that he that's [ __ ] [ __ ] because you can tell that's not me because the guy's kind of off balance a little bit and in the original like script they wanted Travolta just to be like head shots they don't want any kind of like dancing sequences just head shots he's like no [ __ ] that I put too much time into this and I'm a really good dancer film me baby and and when he was rehearsing and and choreog and they were choreographing the movie he apparently he lost 20 pounds just learning to dance for this or learning the the the dances for this movie 20 [ __ ] pounds I mean he was already like a like a skinny guy like it's crazy to lose that much weight you know real it's insane yeah seriously so um I forgot my train of thought where was I going with this just how great Travolta looked in his painting [Laughter] probably yeah he's in his panties quite a bit but no no no what I was saying is like so so Travolta's character he it's it's just [ __ ] weird like the movie is so he's loved by all the people at the discotech and then he all of a sudden is like this badass kind of Italian not gang member but just like part of this group and then they go and beat up a bunch of Puerto Ricans because the one of the guys in the group got jumped and was in the hospital and then all of a sudden he goes back to like a dance competition and that is his whole life is like this dance competition with the girl yeah and it's it's just a weird [ __ ] story and then the suicide or not the kind of suicide at the end um of of the friend it dude the story was all over the place and then the brother the pre the priest brother comes back and he doesn't want to be a priest like what the [ __ ] is the point of this this story line it was just silly it just [ __ ] silly there's a lot of amazing Concepts in here that are just brushed over because it's just bad story writing and because the the dancing sequences were too long too long in the sense that they couldn't tell a good story within that long I love the dancing sequences I think Dan is [ __ ] fantastic I get to watch in 20 minutes I don't even care it's really good the the my favorite part of the entire movie was when he was dancing on the on the the state the lit up stage like halfway through the movie and he's just doing that solo dance and he dude he's in heels first of all I know he's in those heels and he's like jumping he's doing the Russian little like you know squat kicks or I don't even know what the [ __ ] it's called yeah but he's dude he he is a phenomenal [ __ ] dancer it's unreal I was so impressed by that scene he did this move that I totally forgot about and as soon as I saw it again like this this uh this past week and watching it I jumped up and then ran over to Rene like Rene do you remember this move it's where you take your hands and you interlock your fingers in front of you Palms down and you do like this wavy thing with your elow like worm thing yeah yeah dude when I saw him do that again oh my God I [ __ ] like we used do this [ __ ] all the time as kids right like oh it's just goofy oh it's so good these Tammy Tammy brought that up too she said the exact same thing she's like I totally forgot about that and she's like yeah and there was this this little this this kid when we were in elementary school and we used to yell at him to do the worm like whatever his name was and he would do that and he was like so good yeah and he wasn't he wasn't he was kind of like like a not very popular kid so it was kind of like to make fun of him but like everybody would do that yeah it still really funny that he could do it really well and she and she even told me she's like yeah I feel really bad that we all used to tell him to do that to like kind of make fun of him so you should message him on on Instagram or Facebook find him and say hey I just recently rewatched Saturday Night Fever and that move that we used to make fun of you for doing is [ __ ] amazing and she's and she's like yeah he's probably like some like super rich famous doctor now or something like that yeah cuz I guess he was like this really smart like Chinese kid and uh and yeah he was like one of those you know he was dork back of that back in the 9s she yeah so was pretty funny so so I think I think the movie does a good job at just I mean this is essentially Like A Bronx Tale just with a lot goofier music this is a blending of of of people a blending of of races and that's just that's just the way it was in the 70s like clear as dead there's a lot of like you're right he wasn't in a gang but the Italian American stuck with Italian Americans Puerto Rican stuck with Puerto Ricans so I think so I so I read and stuff I wasn't that wasn't there nor from there but um I I think it does a good job at that I think it does a good job at keeping the tone somber and sad and I like I like that Travolta is this this kid who thinks he's destined for something bigger who wants to be destined for something bigger but because of where he's from because of who his parents are because of his brother who was forced to do something that he didn't want to do and then quit like Travolta is always down in himself and he knows he's worth more but doesn't really have the confidence to do it until he's at the Disco until he's going and dancing to other people and and and exerting like I don't want to say his his dominance but exerting like who his true self is and he could be a great dancer even his brother's like you should be like a [ __ ] professional dancer he's like nah I don't want to do that it's like these are just the Classic like coming of age films that's great no I I do like the whole coming of age thing you know he's a 20-year-old kid you know he didn't graduate I think he even says in the movie he didn't graduate high school he just kind of not thought about college yeah I never thought about college and and [ __ ] where was I going with this God damn it you're you're all over the place here I am all over the place I really really am Travolta's moves little hip thrust got you got you going I know the the panties and everything um but what what I was saying is I really like the um the coming of age story but it wasn't executed well enough like God it could have this movie has so much potential but it's it it falls short so many times and one thing I I thought was just funny like his obsession with dancing and like the very beginning of the movie the intro to the movie he go he sees the shirt in the window he goes in he's like you guys do lay away and it's like dude that is so lay away when we when we were kids you know like my mom would always do layway and [ __ ] you know like at mvin and [ __ ] and I thought that was funny and and then he goes he goes into his job at the paint store and then he he asks his boss like can I get an advance on my paycheck for for tonight because I got to buy this shirt I got to buy this $20 blue shirt and it's like this is his entire [ __ ] personality it's his it's his entire life and I like how that started I thought that was super cool but God damn it dropped so quick it just falls off so quick after that so I I I have three things or two things that I want to get into that but one mvin that's funny because mvin right and which was essentially replaced by Kohl's mvin was actually the first place that I ever applied for a credit card and they denied me turned 18 yeah [ __ ] and then like two years later they [ __ ] closed down gone yeah they [ __ ] denied me the [ __ ] [ __ ] uh the other one was dude the $20 shirt right so his his salary he got like a like at first he got like a dollar raise but so Essen he making what six7 an hour a $20 shirt 1970 that's a lot of money for a [ __ ] shirt it is oh totally like that's a that's a good chunk of chains for a shirt and then um yeah like his boss his boss is actually really nice even though they kind of bicker just in the New York bickering way his is really nice yeah I don't want to lose you like you're a good employee and he was a good employee never [ __ ] was late shut up for work on time all the time that's cool give like a $4 raise so okay so Tammy and I thought that were like holy [ __ ] a $4 raise that's huge like he nowadays like I get an 80 cent raise every year you know it's just like only making $4 but then I was thinking oh it's probably $4 a week it's not $4 an hour it's $4 a week that's what it is interesting cuz that would make sense a $4 $4 an hour raise no [ __ ] way I that that that's there's no [ __ ] way this paint store can can even Supply that also backtrack a little bit you know when he in the very beginning when he's running to get the paint from the other place so they can upcharge that lady yeah yeah that lady's John tra's actual mom in real life yeah I know I saw that in the credits saw that in the credits but she was the no she was working at the pizza place right cuz he got the pizza slice no oh that's also the piz slice too that's not I thought that was his mom no the mom that he brings not not the mom he only has one mom but the woman that he brings the paint cans to okay that is his mom that's his mom I I do want I thought it was a pizza lady I do want to mention the pizza slice next time I get pizza I'm [ __ ] stacking him like that I've never done that in my life well I thought he just folded him I didn't know he stacked him I thought he stacked him he [ __ ] stacked I had dep PA like is he [ __ ] is he stacking pizza slices just on top of each other not like a not like a a [ __ ] czone like one on top of the other huh yeah see I thought he' fold it and I even thought that I'm like damn that pizza looks good I even said it too and Tammy's like you don't even like New York Pizza I do I like new New York Pizza it's not the best but yeah that pizza looked [ __ ] good oh dude stacking Pizza is so good and then also I guess just to keep going on the movie here we haven't talked about the songs yet but keep going on the movie here this isn't this is an era of and we've seen it with Star Wars right cuz Star Wars came out the same year as this one did and and remember like when the whole like opening crawl everyone like freaked out over Lucas and you can't [ __ ] do that that's not the way we do movies this is not the way we do movies either we can't have like ambiguous endings like this we need like a happy ending or a sad ending not like a me ending not like a Sopranos ending we need an ending and Saturday if you were [ __ ] did it did it dude and an N you was ending there dude well I don't know about that that's great I I don't I don't love I don't love the end to this one where they're just kind of like yeah let's just be friends like you not lovers was so Le so lame so Le but that's that's pretty lean though that's pretty lean there dude that's cool it's cool though that they [ __ ] like did that that they don't give a [ __ ] I who gives a [ __ ] this is what happens in real life this people become just friends they they they lose interest in each other we don't need a happy ending we don't need a sad ending just end it I respect that I respect that yeah I guess I guess so as far is like the ending I like it I think it's fun I think it's fine yeah yeah I it's whatever um I also wanted to talk about like the the Aesthetics I guess we already touched upon it but the Aesthetics of of the movie I think is fantastic I just love seeing like New York uh I mean I've never been to New York but I love seeing like the Stoops like the houses or the apartments really like like I I love seeing like the staircase on the stoop going up into the house and then they go into her house or like when that place that she moves into I forgot her name what's her name right now Stephanie or something yeah what's her [ __ ] name is it yeah like they go they go into her house I'm like damn dude that that apartment looks so rad like it it just looked really really cool and very 70s like decor and and then then I was thinking like all the all these videos I see about New York nowadays it's like $4,000 a month for a a closet like you live in a [ __ ] closet but back in the 70s you know they were living in these like really cool nice apartment I mean maybe not nice but just like really cool three-bedroom apartments you know huge things are probably playing probably playing nothing for them yeah I just I just love that that that look that I love Stoops like as stupid as weird as that sounds I love that that style that look stop or dope stoop are dope they're [ __ ] cool as hell man they are cool cuz it's just I don't know it's like a it's like it's like a transition from from one world to the other via just like six stairs stups are cool they're [ __ ] red man so I really like that whole aesthetic um I've I've I've been in New York twice and I would never ever go back New York I have no desire to go it's it's it's weird because New York's a place that like even like when I watch movies now I'm like oh dude New York's So Dope like on there dude do you remember do you remember those three times you went there and I go oh yeah I do and yeah [ __ ] that place I hate that place you even went there on New Year's Eve and you hated it I I loved and hated it though it was a LoveHate relationship I loved it because it was amazing it was one of the craziest experiences I've ever I've ever done dude New Year's Eve on New York in New York on New York on New York I was on top of New York New Year's Eve and New York un un [ __ ] real unreal yeah so but I would I wish I would have gone with you guys on that trip why didn't you go with us I don't know I don't know why I I don't know I really don't we we bought we bought like these tickets for like $500 or something they got us unlimited drinks food and no matter what front access to the ball drop which the ball drop was whatever it's it's a tiny [ __ ] ball it's like the size of a [ __ ] marble no not really it's a bigger ball than that it's actually a bigger ball than I ever thought it was going to be but it's still kind of small anyway New York's stupid who gives a [ __ ] about New York yeah yeah but 1970s New York [ __ ] hole I still would love to just go back and see it just like be like a fly on the wall like nobody could see me I could just walk around and not get harassed and just see the dis gusting craziness of New York in the 70s that that just to me would have been unreal it's such a that's such it's such a shame because like post like World War II New York it was it was bustling it was it was Rife with with jobs and and opportunity and things just just got so much worse in the 60s and just kind of went downhill and then like the 70s like that was the most corrupt that the nypd's ever been there was there was numerous corruption charges there was there was it was awful and then and and then just I don't know like rampant like drug use and and I mean this is like well the whole crack epidemic in the early late '70s early ' 80s was really kind of not decimated the city but really made things a lot worse it was just it was just a time of just it was bad it was very bad people were leaving New York and droves more than anytime else and and it was just bad it was bad for people that that were not in Manhattan essentially but even Manhattan was kind of hit but it was it was bad for essentially people that were not like middle to upper class white people in Manhattan yeah yeah also so I I know we barely we haven't even talked about the music and kind of rly so because it's a lot of the same stuff and honestly the movie is more interesting than than the music hold your time bro I I before we jump into that music though uh I want to talk about the the fashion too like the suits they're so dumb but I also love them at the same time the big ass collars just I just the way the the suits fit like it was it was [ __ ] cool man it's so bad but it was so cool at the same time I love it it's interesting that that Travolta's iconic suit is white because White's White's like a purity you know clean sheet but he's a dick because there's black under it which is a two-tone color which I don't think there's a lot of thought involved in that but maybe there was maybe there was dude so but then you notice his friend friend or his his I guess I wouldn't call him his friend cuz they treat him like [ __ ] but but the guy that suicide yeah he wears blue all the time which blew and he's like the most I I don't say the most religious he just talks about religion the most and that's another Concept in the movie that is really cool is the concept of like religion religion's brought up a lot in this movie I was surprised about that and it's really really interesting that this kid is freaking out over his girlfriend that got pregnant and he really wants her to get an abortion but only because he's scared and really when he's asking people like hey should I get an abortion should I get an abortion he's not like he's not searching for an answer like yes or no he's searching for like like guidance he's searching for help he's searching for a friend and it's interesting that even like the priest that that has shunned the the priesthood right he he he like [ __ ] C Catholicism it's all a joke and all Tony does is kind of bad mouth and even like tells his mom like you're making [ __ ] god a a messenger dude like don't do that so like there like that scene all this like religious aspects to it and then this kid who doesn't want to have a baby and he wants his girlfriend to get an abortion ends up like dying which is he's still a kid he there Tony's 19 and this kid was two years younger than him I think two years younger than him so he's like a kid so it's interesting that in the movie we see abortion as as a bad thing as you shouldn't do it but then like suicide is kind of like an okay thing because the suicide is brushed over pretty fast like we get over it really quick and that's crazy that's [ __ ] crazy not that I with actual opinions aside it's just I think it's super interesting that abortion was such a Hot Topic throughout the whole [ __ ] movie this kid asked constantly about it and then all of a sudden he commits suicide it's like H whatever like what the [ __ ] it's completely it's it's like almost glossed over because when when he falls I mean he he falls he doesn't really commit suicide he slips and Falls but I think in the end he was he was going to commit suicide but anyway the friends kind of gloss over it especially Travolta Travolta is like he's pretty much like [ __ ] you guys he doesn't say it but he's he's like [ __ ] you you guys you guys are [ __ ] up I'm done I'm leaving and he just walks away and leaves and then he walks to the girl's house and then you know that scene but it's just like yeah it's like the cops are like yeah we're going to have to search for him in the morning they're like okay nobody really reacts to it it's like what the [ __ ] dude nobody f one of your best friends just dies you know just falls from a bridge because you guys are all [ __ ] around so godamn much oh and then when we were watching not not that scene but the scene before the on the bridge when they were trying to scare trying to scare a nette yeah Tammy was like that's like you and your friends that's some [ __ ] you guys would do back then I'm like yeah you probably right that's like call me an idiot that's semi that's kind of borderline like harmless fun to kind of like Psychopathic behavior um but but like clearly the kid wanted to die because he was doing this stuff and he said hey look Tony look Tony Tony Tony look look and I think I think he wanted I think he wanted uh TR to kind of be like hey dude don't worry about it like we can get through this together but TR never steps up Tony never steps up but he kind of does because he's trying only he only says like come down he yeah he only says come down if you really wanted to get him he would have grabbed him by his [ __ ] thing and yanked him off because we've seen Tony fight he can fight Tony never really steps up and I think this kid was like ah this is my last attempt because that's why he's up there too he's mad remember the phone call that never happened yeah all he wanted was for for Travolta to for Tony to call that night that's all he wanted crazy it was so sad like that that character storyline was so [ __ ] it was so heartbreaking cuz all he wanted was just he just wanted help like nothing crazy or or anything like that he just wanted to talk to somebody like the priest shuns him you know Tony's brother shuns him completely all of his friends in his group shun him they go to fight the the Puerto Rican gang he everybody like you know they're like we're doing this like I don't know I don't really want to do it then he freaks out and leaves and then when he comes back everybody trashes him for leaving he doesn't even leave though he gets attacked in the car some some [ __ ] Puerto Rican guy like jumps through the window and tries to stangle him to death so he drives away but he still comes back to pick him up yep yeah man yeah that that character man it's it it's tragic it really really is that no n none of his friends ever [ __ ] cared about him at all yeah they're all [ __ ] they're all [ __ ] and then and Tony's an [ __ ] too Tony's a con douchebag and and like like Staying Alive the the the sequel to that should have been like Tony redeeming himself but youever you watch I've seen it when we watched Saturday night life Saturday Night Fever a couple years ago I watched staying alive after that and it's uh it's one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life it's so bad it's so [ __ ] bad it was directed it was either directed or written by Sylvester Stallone it's [ __ ] trash seriously absolute trash wow they had like two people do cameos from the original movie it has like nothing to do with it and it's just like dude Tony's this character is not even like the same one it's like watch Staying Alive is like watching a Dr cholta movie whereas like Satur Night Fever is like watching Tony staying alive is just like I'm watching John Travolta at this point have you wait okay on kind of a side note have you seen the Travolta movie that he did with Fred Durst that's a new one wasn't it like three four years ago have you seen it uhuh so Ryan and I watched it last year surprisingly it's not bad it's really not bad and it got pan like people talked a lot of [ __ ] on it but really it's not that bad of like not a it's not really a thriller but it's different it's Unique it's and Travolta was really good in it he was actually really really good in it so I don't know why people talk so much [ __ ] on it it's not the greatest movie by any means but it was good it was it was decent decent to good I I recommend people watching it just because yeah I should watch it I like Travolta too every movie I've seen and I mean he's made a lot of movies but every movie I've seen him I've liked I you know I've I still have never seen battle Battlefield Earth what is that battlefy yeah I've never seen that one but yeah honestly every Travolta movie I've seen I mean Saturday Night Fever is fine but um yeah everything else I've I've enjoyed you know Greece is is a good musical um Pulp Fiction I love gree great actually funny you mention all three of those because all Travolta does in those movies is [ __ ] dance right dance yeah dude she's a dancer let's jump into the music we talked about the MU the mie so long now for the last half hour uh so Staying Alive we uh we played that one obviously at the beginning so just a quick little backstory the bgs they were in the middle of recording an album at the Chateau de orille I guess it's how you pronounce it I don't know how you pronounce it say in France it's in France what say it in French I that was in French no that was in English say it in French no it was was in French but I just didn't have an accent an over-the-top French accent say say in French de I don't know that was more Spanish we've we've that was kind of Spanish we've already established that it's okay to always make fun of the French I guess okay right well you say it then because I can't do a French accent I'm not that's that's disrespectful and disgusting I would never do that oh that's wrong well anyway they were recording the BG were were recording an album there and they got a phone call from the producers of the movie or whatever director or whatever saying we need some music do you have any they wrote all the music that's in this movie that they did they wrote it all in a week within a weekend and um at this place in France and then they actually recorded it in at a studio in Miami and yeah I just thought that was a interesting little tidbit so arguably some of the most famous songs of all time were written kind of nonchalantly over the weekend I know it's so [ __ ] weird it's Dan live is Iconic do you do you have any stink or you don't have any stinkers here you have a lot of songs that are just they're okay for this scene this movie I have I have no stinkers but I also have no bangers that's hold on there dude I think that's wrong I don't think stay I mean Staying Alive is a good song but God I I just I'm so sick of it you know this is just one of those songs that you've heard a thousand times indirectly like you never go out and say oh I want to listen to some be I want to listen to Staying Alive never do what do you mean who I do of course I do you don't I do absolutely I [ __ ] do get out of here the [ __ ] out of here where does this sit Banger wise for you this might one be this is the best song this is it this is the the greatest disco song that's ever been this is this is amazing true this is like this is God YCA YMCA why why are you yelling at me no stay staying alive staying alive is the greatest disco sound that that has ever ever been it is it is it is like objectively perfect for a disco there's so many parts of this that is that is great that are great do the guar noodle in the beginning that so [ __ ] good everyone's got a solid Groove and that's what's great about disco that's great about Disco Dude everything's got a solid Groove to it there's a lot of like good good Groove it's kind of boring because the drum's just that that's about it it's fine but a lot of good Groove in there and when they end that that chorus and draw out the live part and it goes back in the oh my god dude the Bas line is [ __ ] killer in this come on that's the guitar playing that but there's the base underneath it too the Bas the bass IS F this is there's not a lot of there's not I will say there's not a lot of great baselines it's it's a lot of guitar lower end guitar and keyboard stuffs doing things I thought I thought that that guitar part was the Basse until this week I thought that's what I thought too so it's not no cuz I want I was I even watched videos I watched videos and I was like there's no [ __ ] way dude that's got to be the bass but it's a low ring guitar because you can see the bass player just doing his own thing and you can see one of the one of the Gib brothers be yeah good stuffs yeah dude let's talk about the bees right the bees start off like a psychedelic pot band kind of and then transition to to disco and by 19 1975 1976 they had like 10 albums under their belt I know I I was shocked at how many records they put out yeah I cring them out yeah [ __ ] nuts and like so I have I have four I have four true bees like bangers [ __ ] through and through no matter what then I have like high Lev bees mid- tier bees lower bees and okay songs okay all right I figur the okay songs are going to be more the scores and [ __ ] like that and then the Ivon Elfman or whatever her name was that song was kind of stupid oh um oh yo but so one thing I realized this week about the pgs that I I don't like is is his falsetto vocals God it's it's it's annoying after a while and that's like every song every BG song on this record I don't I can't say that's on every BG's record or every one of their songs but pretty much every song on this record he's singing in in that falsetto and it was a lot it's it's it's just too much way too much I I had actually been looking for for their BG's first album It's called just like the BG's first because it's supposed to be 14 songs by by Billy Gibbs or something like that yeah it's something weird like that I saw that too yeah and I I've been looking out for like that one and then pretty much all way up until the 70s and then I I eventually found like like several I found that one where it's kind of like their ugly [ __ ] faces without the afro and time balding them and then um another one I think it was called be's first actually is the other one but one was supposed to be like psychedelic pop and the one was supposed to be just kind of like uh you know that that kind of like beat pop thing from from [ __ ] England that who cares about really and it wasn't that good like none of it was that good I I was I was surprised yeah I was surprised but then I I've had like multiple times I I get it often when I'm buying crap records but main course they're I don't another [ __ ] 15th album from 75 and well that was that was the album they they I think they were recording oh no no they recorded that album right before this this uh this movie came out that's what yeah cuz one of the songs on that record is on the in is on the soundtrack D in that songs a banger dude well I don't know about that godd damn so I don't know the bgs are fine God three brothers that they're just not fun to look at just ugly but um I mean they are really good singers though I mean their singing is is amazing but it does get annoying and the songs aren't they're fine they're the songs are fine they're fine they're fine they're fine uh and also so Staying Alive the the rumor is the story is they got the BPM of 120 based off of the human heart because they said that they had some one of their friends or something like lie on the ground and they said okay let's make the BPM to this guy's heart and I don't believe that no not at all it's dumb yeah but then also you know sometimes when you take CPR classes they say you know you do chess compressions at the beat of stay so sing Staying Alive while you're doing compressions and that's the proper the proper uh speed to do that and obviously I mean the if anybody seen the office which most people have the American office that's a whole scene in one of the episodes and it's [ __ ] hilarious and it's awesome and it's kind of true though like I I I saw a bunch of videos of people talking about that like legit videos not just from the office that's really a thing that's that's the thing too is I thought that was just a joke from the office and I was like oh that does kind of that kind of makes sense because it's the same tempo I like that they reconed that PG song in the office but like no that's been around for a while I mean I've only taken CPR classes twice one was in The Academy and one was through the YMCA and like we no which was interesting that we did not mention the BG song when I did the for the YMCA right right I feel like that would have been the time but I've never heard this um when I when I go back and resar every two years they they it's brought up every single time because of the office or just in general no just just in general they say just do it at when you do compress and then they have his practice on little dummies like yeah just do just sing Staying Alive in your mind or you can sing it out loud and then we all do it it's great it's so good it's just so good that they can go so high that you can't remember in the office when Andy Andy starts singing that the next part oh my God it's so good and then Kelly's just dancing for no [ __ ] reason like why are you dancing that whole scene is pure chaos I love it so much it's so good and then Dwight cuts the face off of the dummy seals the deal which looks like baloney it looks like baloney it does yes it does looks like baloney I'm calling baloney yeah this is so like dude like open we're opening the movie up here we we're listening to Staying Alive we're seeing Travolta strut down New York City this the rough streets of 1970s New York he's [ __ ] stacking his pizza slices he's got those those red shoes that that red shirt and he's just gawking at ladies just gawking at girls baby just doesn't give a [ __ ] just he stops his strep to backtrack and he backtracks with like the like like he's rotating his arms opposite like backtracking like getting in front of them so they can't walk around him like damn time piece time piece it really is that [ __ ] would not fly nowadays but it's I mean I'm not even go into what kids do these days to to to B their eyes at other kids because it's [ __ ] bizarre and stupid but yeah pretty dope I like it great opener great and then they also play this song several times throughout the movie because it's so good can't get enough of it it's good it's fine um all right so what what do you want to get into what's another Banger for you on this one my 2B Boogie Shoes caseing the sunshine b okay this is a better one this is a better song for sure oh it's only two and a half minutes so you probably like that it was nice not hearing that that faletto vocal it was very very nice great [ __ ] Groove um that Baseline is [ __ ] killer too it's great it's just great not to hear the pgs on this [ __ ] soundtrack what so what else do you have on this one like like I said earlier I love caseing the Sunshine Band I really do I listen I have two other albums that I listen to not like really really often but sometimes when I get in the mood if I listen to one of them I'm going to listen to both of them that's the kind of mood that I will get into and I'll throw my Macho Man 45 to end it off but uh there's a lot of nostalgia with Casey and the Sunshine because my mom loved Casey and the Sunshine Band so she played a lot of Casey and the Sunshine Band growing up and they have a lot of [ __ ] bangers they have like at least 10 songs that you [ __ ] like oh wow that's a banger even The Wedding Crashers right the keep it come and love that part that's caseing the Sunshine Band brother w w I'm telling you get down tonight dude we're oh my God that b is so that's a great song too that is so [ __ ] good but they're also not songs that I want to I'm not going to go out of my way to listen to because I I had a Casey and and the Sunshine Band record I ended up purging it because it's like it's good but I'm just I'm never gonna put it on I'm I'm just I'm it's not going to happen it it destroys me that you like force feed yourself shitty slip knot and shitty corn but then like actual good stuff don't forget bodies you just like oh good Pro I'm not going to listen to it but like you will [ __ ] spoon feed yourself [ __ ] stuff and pretend to like it that's annoying but yeah man this is this is actually like a good good song I love the guitar noodling I like that the bass note matches the guitar riff but only the last couple of notes because the guitar is like it it's allowed to breathe it's allowed to breathe kind of like be up in the front do what it wants to do but really drive that last three notes on that boom boom boom that thing and the solo is super cool I love the solo here because it's simple there's background talking right they're go yeah doing that thing and it just continues to solo even after the song starts back up and he goes like Wow Let's go and they start back up and that's the best part of his like guitar noodling is during the part when the song gets back in now would you I mean would you agree with me on this I mean obviously the BG's contribution to this record is is Iconic I mean everybody knows this movie because of the B songs um but had it been done say this entire soundtrack was done by Casey and the Sunshine Band could it have been better I think so yeah because I think Casey and the Sunshine Band were a band and like a legit band yeah whereas the be's were more like a pop act yeah pop stars more than anything and and they're they're focusing on like on vocal Melodies and kind of putting like instrumentation in the back um so I I I do but like [ __ ] man if you watch like old videos of Casey the Sunshine Band there's like 40 people on stage it's [ __ ] I've seen that yeah there's like a ton of people on stage the only one that that people know is just like Casey the the main guy his name is like Jimmy Casey or something the band name comes from I know fun stuff [Laughter] right yeah but that that's my that's my my 2B that honestly like that should have been my 1B but because staying alive is just such a [ __ ] unreal Banger it's really iconic that is God damn just so iconic and disco was only around for x amount of years like four years or something like that before completely collapsed on it really represents like disco right like you say oh what's like the best classic rock song of all time or jazz song like I don't [ __ ] know dude it could be a billion songs billions and billions you say what's the best disco song he could throw down staying alive and that that would be a good Contender I think that or YMCA are are arguably the biggest disco songs of all time yeah I mean they really are maybe even I think YMCA might be bigger because that s really appeals to kids as well I it's it's tough because like more I don't I don't know yeah I don't know so we haven't we we haven't even touched upon the lyrics I think the lyrics for all these songs are pretty dumb they're very basic straightforward nothing too deep I mean staying alive that song is about staying alive in the Mean Streets of New York at the time but it doesn't really go deep into societal issues and the city and this and that it's very superficial um also these guys are from like Sweden so what the [ __ ] right they're from Sweden or am I think who's yeah where the be's from I forgot now uh I thought they're from no they're I don't know where they're from are they American I think they're I think they're English because I know I think it's Abba Abba is Swedish I'm looking at I'm but I really need to know this I think I think they're they're I think they're English that's fun yeah why does it not say where they're from they're for sure English I think they're from like some weird part of England that I've never I've never like heard of oh yeah they yeah yeah that so they were born on the aisle of man to English parents they lived in Manchester England or charlon Charlton Manchester England until the 1950s so yeah so they're they're English you're right they're English uh uh where was it going oh yeah the lyrics yeah it's like they're writing about the Mean Streets of New York and what do they know about it and then this boogie Sho song it's just to me it's just like about wanting to hook up with a girl all night or if you want to take the more innocent route it's about wanting to dance all with her all night but damn yeah there's there's nothing really too deep lyrically on this entire soundtrack no not at all and and I think that's that's that's fine that's kind of purposeful I mean the disco scene seen from what I see it what I've I've gathered this this week is is to do two things one as an outlet as a place for people to come together like I said for marginalized groups that can't exist in the popular area because you know [ __ ] the 70s I guess and the other thing is just to hook up just to get some as as as Vince Von would say just to get some strange ass that's it oh it's ridiculous all I know is I'm not a good dancer I've never been a good dancer I do enjoy dancing I do enjoy singing you do dance and you do sing a lot yes I I would [ __ ] get down at a disco I would be so down to go to a disco with the pants and the the shirt with the colar everything yeah I would get all dled up I probably I I probably would still just wear vans though just cuz I just what I'm most comfortable in you got to wear the heels you got to wear the heels no I can't wear heels I feel like I'm like brick my ankle I have health insurance you never know you might you might like it you might like it this not this not Canada or England come on you didn't get free health insurance here [ __ ] all right so then what's your 3B oh I I have 18 tabs open so I just I got rid of that one tab there on there we go on there dude I don't know that what is my 3B oh Jive talking this is the one I was talking about that was from an actual album by the be's that was already released that's cool Boogie Shoes though um that was from 1975 yeah but dude this is a great [ __ ] song the synth makes this song that synth is [ __ ] boss that's what I put it's it's like it's like a synth Bas right it's so good it's like a base like fed through some weird synth effect synth pedal or something God damn that's a good [ __ ] part though yeah it really drives or are you talking about like the the synth like Solo or like or the actual base base part Sy base part I don't know if it's a synth base or if it's a bass it's just there's a Melody there that I know is not like a guitar or a traditional bass and that Melody that comes in and it comes in you know it comes in after like the first verse or something and that that one drives the song yeah similar to I totally agree yeah like like similar to the to go back a little bit earlier in the soundtrack but but uh The More Than A Woman Like similar to how that part the more than a woman a woman for me that part dude [ __ ] melting melting I love that part the song Whatever don't really care about that much but that part I put that in a mid beer mid Banger beer tier oh mid tier Banger mid beer mid tier Banger MTB MTB yeah let's uh [ __ ] Jive talking so let's play a little bit of Jive talking real quick and then uh we'll jump into some more of the music the lyrics as well so here it is Jive talking from the B's there you go a little bit of Jive talking from the bgs from Saturday Night Fever I almost said Saturday live you almost did it's good it's fine turn not F it's not for that come on come on did you see uh see that Barry Gibb re-recorded the song with your girl Miranda lamber my she's your girl right love Miranda lamber you love country music I like Blake Shelton but that's only but only because she only because he's married to Gwen Stefani because going to finally tolerates him correct yes she tolerates him that is it oh so dumb so what do you have lyrically on this one for for jive talk what is that even [ __ ] me dude jive talk and that's like a that reminds me in um that reminds me in um that reminds me of airplane yeah yeah there there's also another um another disco reference in Airplane isn't there something about uh in Airplane yeah yeah there's they they make fun of the entire um Travolta scene when when he's dancing because that's how in airplane that's how the guy not seduces but how he meets I forgot their names in the movie but that's how they meet at a discotech and he pretty much does all the same dance moves as Travolta and it's really over the top and stupid and then he throws her through the air it's very dumb very funny but very dumb yeah I don't know I I think it's just somebody telling their their girl that that they're they're talking silly if they're if they're trying to like break up with them because I don't know they love them so much God it's so stupid I I these are really stupid the lyrics are so dumb like I I I honestly really don't even want to talk about the lyrics I I I I attributed these lyrics especially the Jive talking like like girl you talking crazy like that type of thing which is so stupid from like like the 90s era like are you crazy a lot of lot of kind of like hip hoppers when they were singing would would say that type of thing ah I like the song it's a good song it's it's good it's fine it's fine so what do you have for what's your next be on here after Jack I I have one more true true bee and then everything else is like teered bees or beers as I said but Night Fever like the reason why this movie is called Saturday night life ah just kidding Saturday Night Fever yeah Night Fever I think it's the Banger this is this is the reason the movie is named the way it is like those those sexy like chicka chick is there so good I get I mean I really like that like that that fun like the funk W guitar thing that they do is that kind kind of what you're talking about yeah yeah no I like that part too and then there's like those really cool kind of swells that come into the pre that in the pre chorus that go into the actual chorus itself that's pretty [ __ ] cool too you can you can hear a lot of you can hear a lot of like psychedelic Funk like like a lot of like Chambers Brothers especially in like Boogie Shoes you take his vocals out of Boogie Shoes put some distortion on that guitar that's a [ __ ] psychedelic song dude that's a psychedelic Funk song and it'll drive and and there's a lot of there's a lot of the influence in Disco that you hear in like 60s and 70s music it's just it's just popify it's fine but it's still like it it's still good I mean it's it's a good it's it's a good song it really time in a place time in a place it's a good song It's a good BG song but still a lot of falsetto man I don't know what what their fascination with falsetto was and actually from what I read a little bit they had never really experimented with this much of that style prior to the soundtrack prior to the making of the record that they were doing in France they had done like little falsetto moments in some of their songs but they had never this soundtrack was the first time that I think Barry I think it was Barry the first time that he ever did an entire song in that that style and obviously it made them millions of dollars and blew them up because of you know staying alive and everything else on this record did you see that they were going to use a a a bow skag song instead yeah and then and then the the Record La was like nah [ __ ] that [ __ ] we have her own thing here that's going to make us a bunch of money your thing's dumb and then also Travolta said that Travolta said that all the the songs that he was rehearsing and dancing to in the movie were um to either BOS or Stevie Wonder everything was that and then they had to find because they couldn't get the rights to to to those songs they had to find songs that were similar in pacing and beats and everything like that to where it would make sense in the dance and they did like that's just so bizarre they did a comparison to of how much money like skags Camp would have made had they used his song and it was like in the millions of dollars more than that flop that that they did I know what the [ __ ] was yeah what what did they do they used it for a different movie and and nobody thought this movie was going to succeed because it just it's dumb well yeah I mean let's talk about that real quick so they what I think the budget for this movie was like 3.5 million or some some [ __ ] like that and they made I'm just going back real quick they made like2 200 $300 million $237 million was the box office 3.5 was the budget just on the movie not the soundtrack just the movie that's insane that's that's so [ __ ] insane and the fact also that the movie and the soundtrack have both are they're considered so significant that they've both been you know put into the Library of Congress as being culturally significant historically culture whatever you know as they should yes yes but it I mean it's it's not that great it is that great on on a on a conceptual level this is better than you're giving it credit for I'm like a if you like diving into it and dissecting it then yeah like this is it's dumb it's it's goofy it's you know it's dated but like on a conceptual level like I've I've mentioned numerous things that have put this into like the the upper echelon of films and yeah like George Lucas was doing something with the Sci-Fi thing but so did Close Encounters came from the same [ __ ] year yeah it's true like sci-fi wasn't like this new [ __ ] thing well no sci-fi was wildly popular in the 50s and 60s it was exactly level he did take it next level this is just this is a musical that's that's not even like a musical but it's not a musical though that's the thing it just has a popular soundtrack it's not a musical by any means yeah it really isn't because because because a musical tells a story the songs are are are intertwined with the story the songs here are not at all the only reason why you consider this maybe possibly a musical is because of the instrumentals and the instrumentals you can't confirm nor deny that they drive the plot forward because that whole like salsa one that that does Drive the plot forward it's tough to say that it oh that for sure is a a plot driven thing or that for sure not a plot driven thing it's just it exists but that's more of a score the scoring aspect of it it's not that it's different that's like then you could say any movie is a musical in that sense yeah so long as as like the the what is happening in the movie directly matches what is being played in the background because they writing dance moves to that salsation song they're writing dance move to that that Fifth of Beethoven which is so good too that really good song that song name alone is so [ __ ] cool Fifth of Beethoven so good yeah the way the way they they kind of they mix the Beethoven composition with modern at the time modern day music I thought that was really well done and like disco's giving birth to so many genres arguably disco gave birth to hip-hop like disco hip-hop would not exist if wasn't for disco well because they use all the Disco beats well rapper Delight use a disco beat so if we consider rapper Delight like as like the first hipop song of all time then that what's happening also also well real quick here dude um the greatest song ever written the the drumming was directly inspired from disco music and that is korns got the life David has said this very disco beat it is David has said he he specifically wanted to do a disco beat on that song and it was kind of rejected by the record label they're like no this is this doesn't fit the corn sound and everybody in the band was like no let's do it it's so weird it's so off-putting for everything we've done and then got to life arguably is one of the biggest corn songs of all time and it is the greatest song ever written so yeah that's a disco right there those are words those are words there have never been true true truer word spoken than that that's a hard word that's a hard word to say anyway um I don't know let's jump into you want to jump into salsation that that's a really cool song so is Calypso or Calypso was that song calpo breakdown yeah that's a good one too I have I have uh I have I have night on Disco Mountain calypto Breakdown salsation and Fifth of Beethoven all as like same same be it's just it's taking it it's instrumental it's taking something that's that's catchy that's that's recognizable that's fun I understand it but it's not it's not doing anything for disco and it's not like hurting disco it's just it exists to be fun yeah but also it's all those songs are are good infusions of the Disco style the Disco beat with with another style of music like Calypso breakdown obviously Calypso disco um you know Manhattan Skyland kind of has like this kind of jazz kind of thing with the trumpet and the buildups with that and everything like that night on disco Mountain I don't know I just didn't think that was a very good one but the only one that I think like like made should be a higher be than the other ones is open sesame because this is like an early version of what we danc to in like the '90s at like the roller rink when I was like this club is closed forever forgot about that stupid techno song like all those all those like EDM songs all the all that techno [ __ ] in like the [ __ ] 99s like this is how how they started they started with just like like the police are coming and like the open sesame as far as I know as far as I'm I I'm understanding like this is kind of where it started this is the first one that we've heard yeah I mean the song is it's cool in the gang and I do like the random noises the random things that are Shad like they yell Shazam a few times and it's just like what the [ __ ] it's just the random things that they say is it's fun it really is kind of fun and some good trumpet going on it's it's a good Funky Song from the 70s like it's a typical Funk song from the 70s and like if you if you were to throw if you were to type into like an AI bot like put like Funk song this this is what would be spit out would be this open sesame yeah it's just so not basic but it's just so of its time it is it is very generic but it does have that drop and no other song on this album has the drop the way this one does and this drops pretty [ __ ] heavy for this era yeah yeah like even Sabbath didn't have any drops that were this heavy just didn't Sabbath is so unrelated to this outside of the cocaine like Sabbath is is not related to this kind of music sa didn't have any stupid uh things to drop into like this so that's why they had no drops but there were no drops so much drugs too yeah okay oh I know yeah oh so I was watching a um a video this week and I guess the BS had like created this limo back in the early ' 80s I think it was and they had uh it was a limo and the back part of the limo was a Jacuzzi out like an outside jacuzzi like you could walk from the inside of the not walk but like go from the inside of the limo into this jacuzzi and they would just drive around La in a jacuzzi and drink a [ __ ] ton of champagne and do a ton of coke just driving or they're being driven around La in this jacuzzi limo I thought God damn dude how much [ __ ] money do you have I know just to pull that kind of [ __ ] you know it's it's who even cares you just you have so much money you have so much clout you have so much status that like literally you you can write your own ticket Like rules do not like literally rules do not apply to you at that point it's true it's true and then you get in trouble you just pay off a cop because we're in the 70s and things are corrupt don't foret the whole Serpico thing too right that was that was NYPD that was [ __ ] uh what like late 60s early '70s the movie Pacino Serpico I never I've never seen that you never seen Serpico no I've never seen it oh my God Pino what are you doing with your life yes I I have not no he's a he's a straight cop in in a world of corrupt cops and he gets shot in the [ __ ] face for it so good it's a really good movie Soo that's like it must be like one of his first movies right um I think it was late 60s it might have been like 1970 1971 so yeah it would have been early he looks really young it's probably preg Godfather I'd imagine cuz I think Godfather was 74 or 75 yeah this is just I don't know man 1970s it it sounds like you know Zeppelin's on the the the top of the world here and the music's so great but like the world is especially in New York is just like falling apart like everything just sucks if you're not if you're not making a lot of money then then you have none and that's that's that's what I'm gathering from like the 1970s the more we do music from the 70s all right so do we have any other songs we want to talk about should we wrap it up what do you think uh let me just let me just scroll I'll I'll think because I mean we've I wouldn't say we've dissected the movie but we've gone through a lot of the movie um key points of it and I don't know I feel like we've we've gone through the soundtrack a lot except for Disco Inferno that's another was just going to say disco infer song Disco Inferno is that song that you don't you're like what is that I don't know what song that is but then when it said the burn baby burn probably like oh yeah I [ __ ] know that song yeah everybody knows that [ __ ] song but but that that song has something that is that is in my mind the most important thing to disco and it's that it's that that that octave if you're playing like a power cord you're doing like the bottom and the top part like that thing like that is so that is Disco to me like just to me personally that is the Disco sound you do that in any kind of Riff that you're playing that and then go back to your riffing that's Disco also the tramps with two M's I've I don't never knew that was them I mean I never knew I've never heard of that band so I I didn't know that was who did Disco Inferno but I definitely know the song But if somebody said like hey like do you know Disco Inferno you'd be like I don't think so right no everybody know yeah no you know it just by the the title no see I don't I see I don't I don't know Disco Inferno by the title I know Disco Inferno because when I hear burn baby burn no I know it from the title I definitely know it from the title then you're you're a disco ad dude I'm a disco man I'm discom man you're a discom man be that's about it I don't I don't think I have any other any other uh really pressing pressing issues here more than More Than a Woman we didn't talk about that one well that's the one we sang or at least I sang the most yeah God and it's it's done by the BS and also by a group called uh tares tarz I don't know how to pronounce it but yeah I kind of like that version better because it's not done in that the falsetto but um that song's fine it's iconic it's catchy it's everybody knows this song yeah so like the B's versions that's mid- tier B for me the the tares T that's an okay song it's fine because I you better than the BG's no not at all that's boy talk I I I think they're very similar to each other but it's the high parts it's it's the annoying high parts come on silly boy talk it's too much it's way too much this is Disco that's the point of disco be over the top come on Disco is annoying God it's like literally like your favorite genre of [ __ ] music is like new metal because you love your [ __ ] corns it's so over the top like new metal is so over the top everything about new metal is so over the top I like two new when it comes but then when it comes to like disco two over the top I don't like that like the [ __ ] like your favorite [ __ ] band is two over the top Jesus Christ two new metal bands Jesus [ __ ] Christ God damn this [ __ ] this [ __ ] guy Tru it's supposed to be over the top that's the point of it okay but it doesn't make it good just because it's over the top doesn't make it good but that shouldn't be a complaint that oh it's too over the top like yeah it's too over the top and not good that's like making pizza oh this tastes too much like pizza like [ __ ] that's what this [ __ ] is not a good comparison anyway it's not a good well I said it's not a good comparison but that's well first you said it's not a good then he said it's not a good comparison I gonna say something else but then I sto myself say you got something [ __ ] say say it well no I'm good I'm good what all right so let's give our let's give our final thoughts on the soundtrack movie um and then G and get and then rate it according to our world famous three-point rating system or three is a perfect album two is a good album you're going to continue continue to listen to one is a Bad album give it a shot and zero is the worst thing you've ever heard uh I think we should do do both I I think we should do the soundtrack and the movie rate each of those that's what I was going to do okay so what do you got you didn't you didn't say ghost I didn't know what to do um so what do you got go oh I can't burp sorry I uh now I'm all like discombobulated because I burped and I don't know what to do I think I think the movie has it it's it's it's set in time this is a period piece that is not like Star Wars you can watch it now like oh wow this is still really [ __ ] solid story that hasn't really been told this this way even still today when we're watching Sci-Fi movies today Avatar I'm looking at you and so when you see like Saturday Night Fever almost said live when you see Saturday Night Fever you're like wow this is a this I I've heard about this disco thing I do want to take Nick to this and I probably will next time it's in theaters which probably be this year at some point I I do want him to see this and just hear his his thoughts and his opinions on it cuz he's like 14 or 15 now so he's old enough kids are getting shot in [ __ ] schools all the time like what's what's Saturday Night Fever GNA hurt right Jesus so it it is it is stuck in time it is stuck in a period where disco um oh my God dud we didn't even talk did you read about the [ __ ] oh dude I do have more notes okay well let's get into that yeah I do have more notes I do have more notes so disco okay so two things did you read about the the Disco demolition night no I did not and then did you read about [ __ ] I had another one I had another talking point too that I just forgot right now but let's go to disc disco demolition night um Disco demolition night was just this this thing that they did with the Chicago White Socks versus the Tigers baseball teams and one of the DJs was like oh yeah let's let's let's draw more people into our shitty [ __ ] teams and let's have people bring a disco album and we'll put it in a big pile in the middle of the Outfield and we'll blow it up we will we will set charges and we will explode these records in the middle of a baseball field and they did they they thought like 5,000 people would show up and like 25,000 people showed up and they had this big pile of of disco records in the middle I have another talking point too they have a big pile of disco records in the middle of the Outfield and they they they blew them up they exploded them why why what year was this this was 1978 maybe like a year after this movie came out what or the same year it came out this movie came out and loved it people hated so so that's another talking point I guess um but after they blew it up uh it got Rowdy it got really Rowdy it got Rowdy to the point where people were running on the field attacking players they were [ __ ] just somebody like dug a hole in the Outfield that was like8 feet deep and just [ __ ] annihilated the field they were tearing down the the foul ball post they were stealing [ __ ] there were thousands of people people running onto the field and this this this VJ was just like uh I think I [ __ ] up and so then obviously the players had to evacuate everybody had evacuate because this was in between a double header this is in between one game in between a second game and so after this happened there was a huge decline in Disco sales after this and so people think that this was like the end of disco but then also like another another another uh thing about why people think disco ended was because essentially it was a it was like racist people think that that that people were tired of of gays and minorities having their own thing therefore it had to be destroyed and that's a whole another subsect subgenre of of things which was really interesting to read about I don't agree I don't disagree I think it's just really interesting she read about it and another thing was the whole reason why Saturday Night Fever even exists was because it was based off of an article written I do read about this to the New Yorker by an English guy who supposedly experienced the entirety of Saturday Night Fever live he he he went out and he was like oh I'm going to cover this disco craze and he he's according to his article he met somebody like Tony if not named Tony and then all of the events in the movie were pretty much in line with what he said come to find out that's all a [ __ ] lie never let his [ __ ] hotel left his hotel like once got scared went back to his hotel all [ __ ] lie I think that's incredible and then uh so too and like the Maxi singles so like the singles the 12in singles have been around decades before the the Disco craze for sure but disco popularized the Maxi single the Maxi single which would later on become really popular with like ' 80s music because a lot of remixes and things like that but you can't do a lot of like cool extended dance beats on 45s and then you don't want like a full LP because there's a lot of songs in that you just can't dance to so RSO the biggest uh record label or no RSO I think owned TK records TK records was the one that put out a lot of 12-in Maxi singles which either had one two three M three mixes on each side of the same song so you could transition between you could buy two of those singles and have you know a 10-minute song that's just all dancing and I think that's cool yeah because again that's kind of like we are seeing DJs now right this is precursor to hip-hop that's what hip hoppers do except now they're just doing like the break beats and stuff and rapping over it but disco did it first no you're right you're right so so there it is so back to you mean you mean instead of using like like a 7 inch 45 right the Big 12 in yeah okay I see what you mean okay the is that what it's called is that what it's called a maxi single I I see them all we have a lot of them at the record store they just don't sell yeah they don't sell there's always like anytime I go into a or not anytime but some sometimes when I go into a store there's like one guy going through all of the singles and I'll have like a pile of just [ __ ] singles and you know that guy's a [ __ ] like that guy probably records music or does something and that's cool that he's doing that um but otherwise it's just they're [ __ ] worthless cuz the same song four different remixes and like who cares really if you're not dancing I guess true yeah but I don't know this this movie this movie did something did something for music like all of these things I just said all of these these these things in in vinyl right and then we see Travolta play like vinyl he pulls out he brings a he brings a tarz record to the first rehearsal with Stephanie yeah and he's like oh yeah let's put this on see if you like this and he puts on a record and that was kind of cool I thought that was cool too like he's like kind of just carrying around the records and I don't know it's just kind of even though we we've been you know KN deep in all of this vinyl stuff like just seeing it in a movie like seeing somebody carry around a record and like putting the needle on it it's just I don't know man it's just you kind of forget like that's the only form of Music at that time so cool yeah it really is so I think I think Saturday Night Fever as like a concept is is is bigger than it as a movie as a movie the writing's fine it's a little glossed over on the parts that should not have been glossed over on but as a concept I mean as a as a institution dude satday figure is [ __ ] fantastic it's one of the Great one of the great for sure so like with that I give satv Night Fever the movie a 2.5 and for all those same reasons I also give the soundtrack a 2.5 with the caveat that again on a rainy day in [ __ ] December I'm probably not going to throw on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack but yeah if it's like Friday night I got nothing to do I'm come with brusi deep I'm gon throw on the switch play some Doom [ __ ] yeah I'll throw on Saturday fever hell yeah absolutely I was in front to back and I a great time so my my final thoughts movie wise I think aesthetically this is this is fantastic it looks great it's grimy it has the fashion everything I mean we we talked about you know just this the scenery Al also they actually filmed the entirety of this movie in was it Brooklyn was it Brooklyn where they filmed it yeah it was close to whatever that bridge was yeah the bay bay bridge or not Bay Bridge that's San Francis but um but Bay Ridge I think it was just Bay Ridge actually yeah so so they actually filmed it all within that neighborhood that area and I thought that was really cool so you really kind of get that that feel of of it all and um yeah so I think that part of the movie is fantastic the writing is it's rough it's not very good the dancing [ __ ] amazing John Travolta absolutely kills it the acting is good like all of them do a really good job from what what I read too I think it was like for they said 40% of the people that were in the movie had never been in a movie before they were just like local actors which I thought was kind of cool like considering the budget was so small they really kind of went Grassroots and they kind of got local talent which is rad um so I like all that all that but then yeah the writing is not very good um the story is H it's it's iffy soundtrack wise yes it's iconic but it's only iconic because it's been shoved down our wrotes for decades the songs are fine but they're just fine like really there's nothing that great about the BG songs so movie wise I'm going to give this a you know honestly movie and soundtrack wise I'm going to give this a 1.75 because I will never go back to the movie I will never go back to the soundtrack willingly like unless it's on and I'm just hearing it in the background I'm never going to go back to it and nothing about this is nothing about this is overtly bad but yeah I'm never going to go back so 1.75 out of three okay okay that's that's what I give it yeah because lyrically it's it's just it's garbage dumb okay all right but um yeah so you give this what' you give this a 2.5 2.5 all around baby 2.5 I give it a 1.75 out of three so uh do we have anything else on this that's it that's all all right well thank you all for listening go to Spotify Apple podcast cast give us five stars five stars only tell your friends and um you know what else to do so go do it and that's it that's [Music] all I do want to mention the pizza slice next time I get pizza I'm [ __ ] stacking them like that I've never done that in my life well I thought he just folded them I didn't know he stacked I thought stacked them he [ __ ] stacked I had a pait like is he [ __ ] is he stacking pizza slices just on top of each other not like a not like a a [ __ ] czone like one on top of the other huh yeah see I thought he folded it and I even thought that I'm like damn that pizza looks good I even said it too and Tammy's like you don't even like New York Pizza I do I like new New York Pizza it's not the best not like a Sopranos ending we need an ending in Saturday if you were [ __ ] did it did it dude an N you is ending there dude well I don't know about that that's great I I don't I don't love I don't love the ending to this one where they're just kind of like yeah let's just be friends like you do not love her so Le so lame so leam but that's that's pretty lean though that's pretty lean there dude I I loved and hated it
