Notes: Lush, symphonic disco production with funky guitars, fluttering keyboards, and a steady four-on-the-floor drum beat creates an urgent, danceable energy anchored by Barry Gibb's falsetto sing-screams. Subtle vocal double-tracking and slight sync imperfections add spontaneity without overwhelming harshness.
