Stayin Alive, the Ragtime, Rockabilly, Normal Person Voice Range Edition

I was at a wedding a couple nights ago and someone told me how much he hated the song “Stayin’ Alive”. I don’t know if I’m sheltered or what, but I’m fairly certain that no one had ever said that to me before and I fully expect to live the rest of my life without …
