"Night Fever" remained the number one Billboard Hot 100 single for over two months in 1978. It also replaced Andy Gibb's "Love Is Thicker Than Water" at number one, and was in turn replaced by Yvonne Elliman's "If I Can't Have You" - all of which were written and produced by the Gibb brothers.
After the success of "Night Fever," the Governor of Florida, Reubin O'Donovan Askew, made the three men "honorary citizens" of the state, due to the amount of time they spent each year recording singles in Miami.
n addition to Saturday Night Fever, the song has also appeared in the movie and on the soundtrack for Mystery Men.
A rare music video was made for the song, however it wasn't shown to the public until 2004 despite the fact the video didn't contain any uncensored content. An interesting note, in the video Barry Gibb was shown without his trademark beard.
The song lists at #33 on Billboard's All Time Top 100.
Night Fever
The Bee Gees Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is movement all around
There is something goin' down
And I can feel it
On the waves of the air
There is dancin' out there
If it's somethin' we can share
And that sweet city woman
She moves through the light
Controlling my mind and my soul
When you reach out for me
Yeah, and the feelin' is right
Then I get night fever, night fever
We know how to do it
Gimme that night fever, night fever
We know how to show it
Here I am
Prayin' for this moment to last
Livin' on the music so fine
Borne on the wind
Makin' it mine
Night fever, night fever
We know how to do it
Gimme that night fever, night fever
We know how to show it
In the heat of our love
Don't need no help for us to make it
Gimme just enough to take us to the mornin'
I got fire in my mind
I get higher in my walkin'
And I'm glowin' in the dark
I give you warnin'
And that sweet city woman
She moves through the night
Controlling my mind and my soul
When you reach out for me
Yeah, and the feelin' is right
Then I get night fever, night fever
We know how to do it
Gimme that night fever, night fever
We know how to show it
Here I am
Prayin' for this moment to last
Livin' on the music so fine
Borne on the wind
Makin' it mine
Night fever, night fever
We know how to do it
Gimme that night fever, night fever
We know how to show it
Gimme that night fever, night fever
We know how to do it
Gimme that night fever, night fever
We know how to show it
Gimme that night fever, night fever
We know how to do it

Listen to the ground
Pay attention to what is happening around you

Something significant is happening
And I can feel it
I am aware of the events taking place
On the waves of the air
In the atmosphere
There is dancin' out there
People are dancing nearby
If it's somethin' we can share
If it's something we can enjoy together
We can steal it
We can take advantage of the opportunity
And that sweet city woman
A beautiful woman from the city
