Today's Morning Edition music is from "You Should Be Dancing" by the Bee Gees which was number one on the Billboard pop chart 40 years ago today.

It was the second Bee Gees song from the movie "Saturday Night Fever" to make it to number one and it was also the first chart-topper to feature Barry Gibb's distinctive falsetto singing voice.

More recently, the song was used in an elaborate dance sequence filmed for the new Ghostbusters movie. It was cut from the main part of the film, but you can see it in the out-takes during the closing credits.
