1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest. The iconic disco film

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: Saturday Night Fever recently celebrated its forty fifth anniversary, as

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: did its soundtrack, which still stands as arguably the most

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: influential film album of all time. The Bigs famously contributed

5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,959
Speaker 1: multiple songs which are still played today, more than a Woman,

6
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: If I Can't Have You Staying Alive, how Deep as

7
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 1: You Love, and of course the title song Night Fever.

8
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 1: They're all disco standards that also perfectly encapsulate the story

9
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: and vibe of the movie, which is white shocking that

10
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: the Bags never read the script. Album supervisor Bill Oaks

11
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: revealed the Billboard he couldn't believe it when he visited

12
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: the studio, and they somehow made the perfect music for

13
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: the film, saying they hadn't even looked at the script.

14
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: They were told, in broad terms, it's about a guy

15
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: who works in a paint store and blows all his

16
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: wages on Saturday night and he goes to a club.

17
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: They do the hustle. The mission was to get the

18
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: Bags to write a disco track that you cannot stop

19
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: dancing to with a great melody, and that's how they

20
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: came up with night Fever. For instance, the Saturday Night

21
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: Fever soundtrack was so impactful on American culture, and the

22
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: Library of Congress added it to its national recording registry

23
00:00:58,400 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: that's direct from Hollywood.
