Saturday Night Fever - (soundtrack) - "More fun than Zeppelin with more good songs than Rumours!"

Saturday Night Fever: Disco, Delusion & Travolta’s White SuitGrab your gold chains, button that shirt down to your navel, and try not to fall off the light-up dance floor.This week, Classic Rocktails goes completely bonkers over Saturday Night Fever—the 1977 cultural phenomenon that gave the world John Travolta’s strut, the Bee Gees’ falsettos, questionable Brooklyn accents, spectacularly bad decisions, and one of the biggest-selling soundtracks of all time.Doc and Mac break down the movie, debate whether Tony Manero is a misunderstood dreamer or just an extremely well-dressed idiot, examine Travolta and Karen Lynn Gorney’s baffling lack of chemistry, and ask how a film this dark became the ultimate disco party movie.Along the way: the Bee Gees write history at lightning speed, Tony spends an alarming percentage of his salary on one shirt, Mac attempts to defend the movie’s plot, and the guys determine which parts have aged like fine wine—and which have aged like an open bottle of polyester.It’s loud. It’s sweaty. It’s uncomfortable. It’s magnificent.But nearly 50 years later, does Saturday Night Fever still hold up?
