4. “In the House, In a Heartbeat”- John Murphy (28 Days Later, 2002)
5. “Staying Alive”- Bee Gees (Saturday Night Fever, 1977) [Director's commentary: "Stayin' Alive first plays over the opening scene of Saturday Night Fever. It comes in as John Travollta's Tony Manero first appears on screen, strutting with stereotypical confidence. As Travolta interacts with mundane life, however, the song breaks right along with his stride. He is presented as careless and unsteady when the music stops in a way that evokes the lyrics of the song: while Tony slides into the disco scene so confidently you might think he learned to dance before he could walk, in the day to day world he is floundering for fulfillment and survival. The small financial struggles highlighted whenever the music quiets further cements this tone. Tony compares his shoes to a brand new pair in a store window, puts a shirt on layaway, and cut backs an implied regular order of three pizza slices down to two as expressions of financial want, the source of which we quickly see is his dead end job at the hardware store.
The song returns as the soundtrack of Tony's ritualistic preparations before a night out. The camera cuts between him posing surrounded by images of period icons and flashes of the club he'll later dance at with gravitas that adds another layer of meaning: Tony may be struggling through the mundane world, but disco is what gives him the ability to struggle. It keeps him alive and longing for more, willing to hustle through hardship if it means he can reach the floor just once more.
From here the dichotomy between the shambles of Tony's regular life and the dream-like perfection of his life as a dancer will only grow sharper, and the foundation for that relationship could not be laid better than by Stayin' Alive. It is a master stroke of scoring instantly synonymous with the disco era despite the fact that it is not used in the most movie's iconic dance scenes. The average viewer likely does not remember admittedly excellent tracks such as More Than A Woman or You Should Be Dancing, nearly everyone knows Stayin' Alive within a few bars."]
