I am continuing my string of "bugaloo" songs. This discussion was
started in the "Monster Hunter Nation, Hunters Unite", back in December 2019?
it is a Facebook group with enthusiast of the ILOH "International Lord
of Hate" A.K.A Larry Correia.
We were talking about what song would we use if we looked out of our
window or glanced at our security camera and saw this.....I got the
inspiration for this song driving into work for overtime:) and I had my
Sirius/XM on the 70's channel or #7 and this song came one and the Tragedy would be either for them or for me and truth be told it would be for all Freedom loving Americans because it means that the Republic is truly gone and the Empire has arrived. so We prepare ourselves when the Gas in the sprinkler system gets
engaged. ( now this is for educational/entertainment purposes only)
I figured it would scar the alphabet boys if they come busting in and hearing a song that is related to Disco and Porn in the 1970's. What can I say, My humor is warped....just a bit. Next week will be "You Should Be Dancing By the BeeGee's", Now that should really cause some psych evals., hehehe, some poor ATF guy trying to explain the attraction to his mother because of Disco. and the possibility of Leisure Suits, Flared Collars and Tannerite Rover :D, Now can you imagine "Old NFO" or "Old AFSarge" wearing a leisure suit? and making the moves like John Travolta did in Saturday night Fever? It IS their generation, LOL
"Tragedy" is a song released by the Bee Gees, written by Barry, Robin & Maurice Gibb, included on their 1979 album Spirits Having Flown. The single reached #1 in the UK in February 1979 and repeated the feat the following month on the US Billboard Hot 100.
Spirits Having Flown is the fifteenth album released by the Bee Gees. It was the group's first album after their collaboration on the Saturday Night Fever
soundtrack. The album's first three tracks were released as singles and
all reached No. 1 in the US, giving the Bee Gees an unbroken run of six
US chart-toppers and tying a record set by The Beatles. It was the first Bee Gees album to make the UK top 40 in ten years (not counting the soundtrack for Saturday Night Fever), as well as being their first and only UK No. 1 album. It has sold 20 million copies worldwide.
Spirits Having Flown marked the tail end of the band's most
successful era, prior to a severe downturn in the early 1980s when they
would endure a near-total radio blackout (particularly in America) that Robin Gibb would refer to as "censorship" and "evil" in interviews.
Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb wrote this song and "Too Much Heaven" in an afternoon off from making the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band movie in which they were starring. In the same evening they wrote "Shadow Dancing" which was performed by Andy Gibb (and reached #1 in the US).
Though not originally in Saturday Night Fever, it has subsequently been added to the musical score of the West End version of the movie-musical. The song knocked "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor
off the top spot in the US for two weeks before that song again
returned to #1 for an additional week. In the US, it would become the
fifth of six consecutive #1s, tying the record with the Beatles for most consecutive #1s in the US.
In 1979, NBC aired The Bee Gees Special which showed how the sound effect for the explosion was created. Barry
cupped his hands over a microphone and made an exploding sound with his
mouth. Several of these sounds were then mixed together creating one
large boom heard on the record. The song is also playable on Rock Band 3.
The accompanying music video for "Tragedy" was directed by David Amphlett. It starts with a Doraemon-shaped alarm clock ringing and sees Faye, Claire, and Lisa getting married. The lads, Lee and H, sabotage all three weddings before they all go to a disco. The church and disco scenes were filmed in All Saints' Church, Harrow Weald, London and the adjoining Blackwell Hall, respectively. The external location shots of the boys leaving their house and driving were filmed in Blackheath, South London. The group's actual families all took part in the video, with the girls' fathers walking them down the aisle, and record producer Pete Waterman appears as the wedding DJ.
As an opposite to the BGs and also since my other suggestion was taken I have another! How about Architecture of Aggression by Megadeth? The beginning of it alone would certainly set the tone for the following excitement.
