"Born to Be Alive" is a song written by French singer Patrick Hernandez. It became a worldwide smash hit and reached number one on the US Disco chart. It was first conceived as a hard rock song.
"Born to Be Alive" first became a hit in France, and has become one of the biggest singles in that country.
The song also gained gold status in the USA.
After this single hit record, Hernandez dropped out of the music business, making occasional TV appearances.
The first cover version, by Rick Summer, was released during the same year as Hernandez's hit, 1979. "Born to Be Alive" was also covered by Spanish pop punk group Los Nikis, with lyrics consisting just of repetitions of Me voy a Benidorm, as well as Nekromantix, Roberto Blanco and Kelly Marie.
"Born to Be Alive" was also covered in the Pump It Up series of rhythm dance video games. The song was also featured in the 1997 film Vegas Vacation, starring Chevy Chase and Randy Quaid. A cover of the song also featured on a 2011 advert for Diesel's "Fuel for Life" perfume range.
Patrick Hernández (born 6 April 1949 in Le Blanc-Mesnil, Seine-Saint-Denis) is a French singer who had a worldwide hit with "Born to Be Alive" in 1979.
Born to a Spanish family, Hernández grew up in the 1960s and was interested in music. He toured dancehalls and ballrooms of southern France with a number of groups over the next decade. Hernández met his music partner Hervé Tholance, an arranger, guitarist, and vocalist, during that period. The two formed a duo and started achieving local success backing French musicians such as Francis Cabrel, Laurent Voulzy, and the French group Gold.
In 1978, Hernández met the producer Jean Vanloo with disco music at its peak, and signed a recording contract. Hernández went to Waterloo, Belgium to work on songs.
After working for about a year, the songs were released on the Aariana sub-label Aquarius Records (in France) in November 1978. The first single that was released was the disco song "Born to Be Alive". Its success was immediate, and in January 1979, Hernández received his first gold record from Italy. The song spread throughout Europe, where it hit #1 in France in April and remained there until July. By then, the United States had caught on, and after some remixing, the record was signed to the A-Tom-Mik label and later Columbia Records. The remixed version was released on a commercial 12" single, and it peaked in the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart at #1 and crossed over to the Billboard Hot 100 peaking at #16. It sold over one million copies in the US. The track reached #10 in the UK Singles Chart. By year's end, Hernandez had racked up fifty-two gold and platinum record awards from more than fifty different countries.
To Be may refer to:
To Be Alive! is a 1964 American short documentary film co-directed by Francis Thompson and Alexander Hammid. The film is notable for its use of a multi-screen format and for winning the Academy Award in 1966 for Documentary Short Subject.
To Be Alive! was produced by the S.C. Johnson & Son for presentation at the Johnson Wax pavilion at the 1964 New York World's Fair. The film was designed to celebrate the common ground between different cultures by tracing how children in various parts of the world mature into adulthood. The film was shot over an 18-month period in various locations across the United States, Europe, Asia and Africa.
In screening To Be Alive!, it was decided to use an experimental method consisting of three separate 18-foot screens. Unlike the Cinerama process that joined three screens into a single unbroken entity, the three screens for To Be Alive! were separated by one foot of space.
In 1966, a book based on the film was released by S.C. Johnson. This text included an endorsement by Ralph J. Bunche, the Nobel Prize-winning United Nations undersecretary.

K+AFKA (2012) nasceu na minha viagem a Praga, em 2010, indo ao Encontro de Kafka, a presença mais amada através da distância. Foi longa a viagem até ele, partindo da Floresta Amazônica, onde nasci e vivo - como é longa a viagem de trem no filme, longa como deve ser uma Peregrinação. Ao Túmulo de Kafka. As imagens que avançam, rondando, hesitando, buscando o Caminho, revelam o que eu sentia ao me aproximar de um Espaço Sagrado. E depois, as outras, as imagens que recuam, se retirando, significam Reverência profunda. São oníricas as cores com que antecipei Praga vindo ao meu encontro, ainda durante a viagem de ida. Entendi a Queda da Flor que ofereci a ele, me chamando de volta. Retribuí libertando Kafka pelas mãos de uma estátua que me esperava, quando desci do Castelo. Homenagem à Leveza. ...

We were born to be alive
We were born to be alive
Born, born to be alive
(Won't you be alive)
You see you were born
Born, born
(Born to be alive)
People ask me why
I never find a place to stop
And settle down, down, down
But I never wanted all those things
People need to justify
Their lives, lives, lives
You see you were
Born, born, born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
You see you were
Born, born, born
(Born to be alive)
It's good to be alive
To be alive
To be alive
It's good to be alive
To be alive
To be alive
It's good to be alive
Time was on my side
When I was running down the street
It was so fine, fine, fine
A suitcase and an old guitar
And something new to occupy
My mind, mind, mind
You see you were born, born
Born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
You see you were born, born, born
(Born to be alive)
You see you were born, born
Born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
You see you were born, born, born
(Born to be alive)
You see you were born, born
Born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
You see you were born, born, born
(To be alive)
Born, born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
You see you were born, born, born
(Born to be alive)
