It's a pleasant tune. The right word is pleasant. I find it pleasing

Man this movie is a really great American melodrama. I need to see it again. I’d forgotten how beautiful the lighting and shot composition are.

Now, this is interesting. Did anyone else know this?

-----------------------------------------------------------------
The string intro of "Night Fever" was inspired by "Theme from A Summer Place" by Percy Faith, according to keyboardist Blue Weaver when he was performing it one morning at the sessions and Barry Gibb walked in and heard the new idea for this song.[5] As Weaver explains the history behind this song:

...'Night Fever' started off because Barry walked in one morning when I was trying to work out something. I always wanted to do a disco version of Theme from A Summer Place by the Percy Faith Orchestra or something - it was a big hit in the Sixties. I was playing that, and Barry said, 'What was that?' and I said, 'Theme from A Summer Place', and Barry said, 'No, it wasn't'. It was new. Barry heard the idea - I was playing it on a string synthesizer and sang the riff over it.[6]
— Blue Weaver

A Summer Place is really nice and would win a lot of these matchups. But, not this one. Undeniable hooks in Night Fever.

I hope it wins it all now that the other bee gees tune is out

Night Fever is one of the best Bee Gees tunes. Give it a listen then decide.
