970. Stayin' Alive by The Bee Gees (1977)

It's hard to imagine how popular the Bee Gees were in 1977-78. They were bigger than anything we've seen in the last 15 years or so. Stayin' Alive became one of their signature songs. It's the perfect example of the right song at the right time with the right movie. The film Saturday Night Fever is a cultural milepost for the baby boomers and the Bee Gees did the soundtrack. The group became something of a joke when people revolted against disco, but are now respected songwriters. In a bizarre twist, Ozzy covered "Stayin' Alive" in 2005.
