It was unexpected when a band named Royal Republic released a cover of the well-known Bee Gees song “Stayin’ Alive.” The singers had painted faces and were dressed like a spooky black metal band. Rather than yelling, they energetically sang the disco classic. Online users were blown away by the hilarious and amazing mix.
The video was a hilarious fake documentary about their “black metal” band. They played the song with heavy guitars and pounding drums but kept the famous disco beat. The serious, scary looks on their faces while singing the high notes was the funniest part. It was a perfect mix of tough and silly.

This crazy cover made you remember how incredible the original song really was. To hear the Bee Gees’ magic the way it was meant to be, you had to go back and listen to them live. Their harmony vocals were like nothing else.
