What is saturday night fever about?

My father keeps talking about a movie called 'Saturday Night Fever' and how it reminds him of his youth. I'm trying to understand what kind of fever he's referring to, as I haven't heard of a medical condition by that name. What is Saturday Night Fever about?

Haha, at my age, 'Saturday night fever' is just the body ache I get from standing too long in the grocery queue! But seriously, it is that classic 1970s dance movie starring John Travolta. No medical connection at all, thankfully!

This is actually a cinematic film from the West focusing on dance and music. Sometimes, people also use the phrase casually to describe the urge to go out and celebrate over the weekend after a long week. To keep your mind calm, a quiet evening of meditation is often much better than any weekend rush.

It is a very famous old Hollywood movie about disco dancing and music. If you were worried it is a new kind of illness, please don't be. It is just a film name, so you can relax.

Bhai, this is not a medical disease or any viral fever. It is a super hit English movie from the 70s with amazing disco songs. Don't worry, you don't need any paracetamol for this one!

There is no need to worry, it is just a movie name about disco culture. If you actually have a real fever on a Saturday night, please just take rest, drink warm water, and see a local doctor if it doesn't go down by morning.
