Stayin' Alive - Bee Gees - MP3 instrumental karaoke

From the iconic guitar hook to Barry Gibb's unmistakable falsetto, the importance of the Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive" in popular culture can't be understated. Perhaps the most instantly recognizable song from their entire catalog, the track was released during the peak of the disco era as part of the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. Written by Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb, and Maurice Gibb, and produced by Albhy Galuten and Karl Richardson, "Stayin' Alive" was written over the course of a weekend at the Château d'Hérouville studio in Paris, a recording location they strategically chose due to tax-related reasons. Inspired by the grimy chaos that dominated New York in the late 1970s, "Stayin' Alive" is an ode to all those brave enough to survive in the city's violent, drug-ridden streets. Released as the third single from the film's original soundtrack in December 1977, "Stayin' Alive" quickly rose to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed there for four consecutive weeks. Apart from becoming a ubiquitous international hit that helped revitalize disco music across the globe, medical studies have recently shown that the song's 104 beats per minute proved ideal for correctly performing CPR.
