Jive Talkin (even tho it wasn't cut specifically for this record)

On one of those "Misheard lyrics" desk calendar things that my brother buys me for Christmas every year, someone reputedly heard "You can try to understand/ New York has the baseball games," which has made listening to that tune weirdly more charming for me (it goes in place of the "measure of a man" line).
Still, went with Night Fever, because that's the mood I'm in.

"If I Can't Have You," with "How Deep Is Your Love" (Bee Gees) a close second.

"Night Fever." But listen to "Open Sesame" again when you get a chance. A forgotten disco inferno.

very tough to pick one, but I'll go with "Night Fever," if only for the breathtaking middle eight "here ah am, waitin' for this Mo-menn to lie-ie-ie"…

I just remembered, isn't "Jive Talkin" on this is a live version? If so, that would probably change my answer.
Not that it's not a good version.

Love that record beginning to end. Even the David Shire instro stuff and classical ripoffs fulfills its purpose. (And that's the beauty of double albums - what would Tago Mago and Electric Ladyland and Zen Arcade be if their creators hadn't given themselves another full album to fuck around with after the obvious crowd-pleasing stuff is out of the way? They'd be single albums, obviously.) And how lucky are we that "Disco Duck" is mercifully nowhere in sight? (It was in the movie.)
My answer (and vote) mirrors Kevin's, right down to the shoutout for "Open Sesame", my favourite untouched-by-Barry Gibb track here. And no, Will, it's the plain old studio "Jive Talkin'".

Yvonne just bumping the Trammps just bumping everything else (except Disco Mtn). Hard call.

Where's "Disco Duck"?

According to Dees, his manager at the time made the unwise decision to cancel plans to include the song on the film's soundtrack because of fears that it would compete with sales of Dees's own album.

The single (and album) was also on RSO. I have his album, it's really not a competitor to SNF.

Changed my mind, I wouldnd'tve minded "Disco Duck" after all. Yeah, I had the single.

Really should have been two separate polls for the Gibb songs ("Night Fever" for me) and non-Gibb ("Open Sesame" although "Disco Inferno" is amazing). What a great record.

My only mixed feeling about "Get Lucky" is that I would be even happier if the opening seconds led into "Night Fever."

@ Eazy, I feel that way about "Killer On The Rampage" by Eddy Grant.

I gave "Disco Inferno" a bump based on Rick Moranis' dance in Ghostbusters.

Tough to think of a first five seconds of a mainstream track more avant weird than the beginning of "Disco Inferno."

That is a great intro!
Underrated track here is David Shire's instrumental "Manhattan Skyline".
