SYDNEY (AFP) - Some of the thousands of Australians who flocked to Turkey's Anzac Cove to commemorate their war dead were reportedly outraged when Australian organisers of the ceremony played the Bee Gees' hit song "Stayin' Alive."
The disco hit, along with "You Should Be Dancin", was played on a large screen to entertain some 20,000 people -- mainly Australians and New Zealanders -- during a break in the official programme, The Australian newspaper reported.
"It's not a festival," one member of the crowd, Amy Hutton, was quoted as saying. "You are here to pay respect."
"I think they must have rocks in their heads."
