So the Album Saturday Night Fever hit our turntable at home the minute it was released. I was 13, my mother had divorced and discovered nightclubs. I was one of the luckiest kids ever in 1977. Melinda from AustraliaWe all thought this song was straight up about dancing.But, that said, I think I will always here it this way. Goofus Mcfeely from TorannaAlways heard it as "What'cha doing when you're laying in bed? Aaah! You should be dancing!" Interpreted as: don't stay at home alone at night, get out and go dancing with other people.Howard from TexasDoes anyone else hear “What’cha doin with your hand in your butt”?.I thought it was “Whatcha doing in your bed.” Sure makes more sense! Emma from TexasHoward in Texas you just made me laugh to tears I can hardly breathe.She’s juicy? I don’t that refers to the butt! I could be wrong. I agree this song is misheard but I agree in Vegas 1997 lyrics were very clear.although I think my “Whatcha doin’ in your bed?” made sense because it’s like, “ Get up and let’s go dancing.” HOWEVER I do agree it’s TOTALLY sexual, so mines blown outta the water. Emma from TexasVisit You’ll never stop laughing.Debbie from New York, NyI used to think the lyric was "Whatcha doin' in your neighbor's bed"!.Randhou from California"Whatcha doin in your bed on your back".Chuck from CharlotteI always heard it as “Whatcha doin’ on your butt (.on your butt)? Whatcha doin’ on your butt (.on your butt)? You should be dancin’ yeah!” which made perfect sense.So go ahead, personalize it, sing it the way YOU want because, any way you sing it, it's still a great song! Honestly, I don't care what the real lyrics are, I will ALWAYS hear & sing "back" as "butt" because to me, it just makes more sense & it's what I thought the lyric was for decades. Wendy from ChicagoSome of these comments are so funny.The words on every single screen is "whatcha doing on your back aah" Terry from Chicago I have sang this song many times in many places doing karaoke.Would love to have someone contact Barry Gibb for the facts. I believe that they altered the lyrics when some higher-up complained. and I know that censoring lyrics isn't something new. June Z from Long Island NyI specifically remember the lyrics to "You Should Be Dancin'" as "Whatcha doin' in your bed on your back?".Mf Fouch from Jacksonville Fl.To me it has always sounded like, What you doin in your brothers bed?.Barry should feel nothing but pride for the contributions he and the Bee Gees made to music and popular culture. It's so undeserved-he and his brothers virtually launched the greatest movement in pop music into the stratosphere, the sound and style that defined the 70s, especially seeing how music has plunged off a cliff since. Armin from Dallas/fort WorthIt's such a travesty that Barry Gibb has been traumatized by the disco backlash.Liberty Justice from TexasIf you watch the live performance in Las Vegas from 1997, you will clearly see Barry singing "whatcha doin on your back".Mindy from OhioI always thought it said “whatcha doing Amy Beth”.Lilacjen from Gainesville, FlI too, thought they were saying, "Whatcha doin' in your neighbor's bed"!!.Gabe from HereThe lyric is just "What you doin' on your back?" with an echo, not "What you doin' on your bed on your back?".Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
