"Staying Alive" is a 2022 song by DJ Khaled. Despite Drake and Lil Baby starring in it way more than Khaled himself, he's the only one featured on the cover. Originally a tribute to the Bee Gees battlecry, "Stayin' Alive", when the non-existent writers of the song realized that disco has been dead for years, they repurposed their idea and turned it into a completely different song. That song, which this article is about, is a blatant ad for smoking about Drake, Khaled, and Lil Baby roleplaying as doctors, with Drake ranting on about his wife or something. At the end, the three music artists meet at the parking lot as they are evicted from the hospital. Despite being worthless for music today and in the 1970s in every way, the possibility of a modern singer borrowing the Bee Gees' music seemed too good to resist, and as a result, it was on several national music charts, peaking in Canada at #2. Nevertheless, nowadays, no one cares about it. Did we mention that it's a smoking ad really great?
Background[edit | edit source]
The original Stayin' Alive[edit | edit source]
The Bee Gees were an ancient Celtic tribe which at one point, populated most of Europe. However, due to many factors, they were rapidly declining due to several factors, with only four remaining by 1970. While the youngest, named Andy, was actually being successful in assimilation, the other three were persistently stubborn. As a result, between 1970 and 1976, the federal government in collaboration with the RIAA funded Bee Gee archaeological digs, which revealed that their battle song. This song, which was also used in surgeries, showed their will to "staying alive". As a result, in early 1977, the Bee Gees were given access to a nearby forest if they done a rendition of this battle song.
Despite only commissioning one song, by July 1977, the RIAA was surprised to find out that they had recorded a whopping five battle songs, all of which were disco. This was really good for them, as the RIAA was looking for music to promote Paramount Pictures' newest movie, Saturday Night Fever. As a result, the Bee Gees would be internationally famous until Michael Jackson's "Thriller" surpassed them in record sales.
