By the way,

for what it's worth, the lyrics to Stayin' Alive, by Barry, Robin, & Maurice Gibb:

Well you can tell by the way I use my walk
I'm a woman's man
No time to talk
The music loud and the women warm
I've been kicked around
Since I was born

And now it's all right
It's okay
And you may look the other way
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man

Whether you're a brother
Or whether you're a mother
You're stayin' alive
Stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin'
And everybody shakin'
And we're stayin' alive
Stayin' alive
Ah ah ah ah
Stayin' alive
Stayin' alive
Ah ah ah ah
Stayin' alive

Well now I get low and I get high
and if I can't get either, I really try
Got the wings of heaven on my shoes
I'm a dancin' man and I just can't lose

You know it's all right
It's okay
I'll live to see another day
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man

Whether you're a brother
Or whether you're a mother
You're stayin' alive
Stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin'
And everybody shakin'
and we're stayin' alive
Stayin' alive
Ah ah ah ah
Stayin' alive
Stayin' alive
Ah ah ah ah
Stayin' alive

Life goin' nowhere
Somebody help me
Somebody help me
Yeah

Life goin' nowhere
Somebody help me
Yeah
Stayin' alive

Well you can tell by the way I use my walk
I'm a woman's man
No time to talk
The music loud and the women warm
I've been kicked around since I was born
And now it's all right
It's okay
And you can look the other way
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man

Whether you're a brother
Or whether you're a mother
You're stayin' alive
Stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin'
And everybody shakin'
and we're stayin' alive
Stayin' alive
Ah ah ah ah
Stayin' alive
Stayin' alive
Ah ah ah ah
Stayin' alive


Does it seem apropos?
