How can I forget that 1983 timeless classic? I liked that song so much as a kid. All our childhood stars are going one by one. Na wa o!

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I'm a woman's man: no time to talk...
..Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.

RIP BeeGee

"In the event of something happening to me, there is something I will like you all to see... Its just a photograph of someone that I know... Maybe those who once existed must be dead"..... "Bee Gees"
