Saturday Night Fever (musical) Puns

So, I decided to throw up the nightly thread on time tonight, and given I've been tinkering with my phone, it came to my attention that I've never owned two phones with the same operating system.

My phone history is:

1. Nokia 5210 (Nokia Classic OS)

2. Nokia 5800 XpressMusic (Symbian S60)

3. Nokia Lumia 920 (Windows Phone 8)

4. Samsung Galaxy S10 (Android 10)

Add to this a work-issued iPhone 6.

So as an optional topic, fellow /r/Sydney redditors - what's your phone history?

I thought Saturday Night Fever might be something special after watching the first 46 seconds of it. The movie pretty much holds up this level of intrigue and style throughout. It regularly surprised me in the same way it surprised me in the first minute. The soundtrack (which sold over 15 million copies) is joyous. Visually, a soft focus and tilted camera angles give Saturday Night Fever a dreamy look that reinforces its story themes. The story is amazing; it's about a bunch of sleazy people. The sleaze is a logical extension of the area and time these people live in.

Saturday Night Fever makes the audience feel sad for every jerk that walks into the picture, sad that people could grow up to be jerks and not realize they're jerks. Sad that there are jerks in real life who could have been doctors or engineers if they were raised in loving homes. Instead they go to the disco.

It's a glimpse into a time that may or may not have really existed. I'm 20, so I'm always glad to step back in time with a great movie, and Saturday Night Fever does a great job at taking me back to the 70s. It doesn't matter if the film is stylized or not. What's important is that in 1977 people could go see this movie and find a bit of the real 70s in it. Saturday Night Fever has me making plans for a light-up disco dancefloor in my next house.

It's Disco Night at the Indigo.

That's right folks, break out your ruffled shirts and platform shoes and join the party.

The bar is loosely decorated with a disco ball that had seen better days and tables cleared for a rented checkerboard dance floor, with ABBA playing in the background.

Tonight you only pay 70(s)% for the cost on well drinks and beer.

Specialty cocktails include:

• The Mamma Mia: Swedish Pear Cider

• Disco Inferno: Fireball with a kick of habañero whiskey

• Oogie Boogie: Vodka, lemon liqueur, ice tea with a taste of honey

So if disco music, 25% less expensive drinks or jumpsuits are your thing than do the hustle on down to the Indigo.

Tansy and Thomas are ready to serve you your drink of choice.

My dad has a copy of this on blu-ray... one of those films you always hear about, but just passed me by. Well, I threw it on, randomly I might add, and I was expecting a cheesy disco dance movie and to laugh at Travolta.

Wow, not at all what I thought it would be. This was a really dark and depressing film, and very well done might I add. A deep dive look into a meaningless working class life, drugs, Catholicism, poverty, suicide, sexual assault, and racism. The disco scenes were just like what they meant to Travolta's character, an escape from the bleak content around it. It ends on a sort of happy note, despite being proceeded by some real sad and bleak content.

Genuinely great film!

Artist background:

Here, I'll briefly cover all of the artists featured on this album, giving

the Bee Gees a slightly more extended overview considering how much they

contributed to the album.

Yvonne Elliman

>Born in Hawaii in 1951, eight years before the islands had become a state, Elliman got her big break from another musical movie in the 70s: Jesus Christ Superstar. She was discovered by the produceres of the traveling play production and played Mary Magdalene not only in the traveling show, but later in the feature film adaptation of the movie. From the Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack, she landed her first big hit with "I Don't Know How to Love Him". She has recently reconnected musically with her Superstar cast mate, Ted Neeley (who played Jesus himself), on his EP, Rock Opera in 2014.

Walter Murphy

>A pianist and composer by trade, Murphy is best known for re-arranging classical or jazz works into modern (for the time) disco reinventions. His breakthrough 1972 album was A Fifth of Beethoven released on Private Stock, the title track from which was a minor hit at the time of release, reaching #80 on the hot 100, and is also his contribution to this soundtrack. Since then, Murphy has become one of the two composers who scores much of the original music in the animated television shows Family Guy and American Dad, also composing the main title song for The Cleveland Show. In 2012, he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song for the song "Everybody Needs a Best Friend" in the movie Ted.
