Michael Vg asked:
   
  Wasn't it Barry Gibb who said he got the idea for the 
beat in either Staying ALive or Nights on Broadway from 
  the sound the car tires made crossing the Brooklyn Bridge? 
 you can find music almost anywhere. 

Another Michael replies:
   
  I believe the song is "Jive Talking".  The guitar riff for that record was inspired
  by that sound.  Memory doesn't tell me if it was Barry, Robin or Maurice that 
  was inspired by the drive across the bridge.  I've heard the story told by more 
  than one of them.  It was mentioned on VH-1's "Storytellers" too.  I always thought that was the coolest story about song inspiration.
