"You Should Be Dancing" was a single by the Bee Gees, from the Children of the World album in 1976. The single rose to number five on the UK singles chart and hit number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. It was this song that first launched the Bee Gees into disco stardom, although rock-oriented drums and guitars can be heard in the background.
"You Should Be Dancing" is known today as the first chart-topper in which Barry Gibb uses his now-trademark falsetto (he had previously used it on the top-10 "Nights on Broadway", and on "Fanny (Be Tender With My Love)"). The song was prominently featured in the movie Saturday Night Fever.
