At the end of the day

In this edition of At the end of the day, the themed series was Steve Martin - Musical Comedy.  As I have fairly well addressed this series, at the end of the day I would like to highlight "Stayin' Alive."

I imagine the disco era as vivid in lighting, flashy in apparel, and funky in dance moves.  Urban nightlife, as described by Wikipedia.  Of course, I was born in the 1980s, so.

Wikipedia offers a lengthy background worth reading of the disco genre.

Disco music does have a point - catchy, groovy, and simply fun.

I am guessing that rock bands formed in the 1970s may have been inspired by the disco music parent genres - Pop Rock, Electronic Dance, Funk...just to name a few.

As an example, I can see Duran Duran taking after the disco theme because of their roots in Synth-Pop, Dance-Rock, and New Wave.  The band hoped for their fans to just dance and have fun...much the way nightclubs would be.

At the end of the day, the Bee Gees best describe a generation and genre I cannot.
