Despite the apparent social death that owning Bee Gees music will cause in TYOT* it seems an awful lot of recent music is covers of their stuff, or includes samples from it.

He suffered a heart attack on Sunday morning in hospital.

The Beegees (Brothers Gibb)

Stayin' Alive

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I'm a woman's man: no time to talk.
Music loud and women warm, I've been kicked around
since I was born.
And now it's all right. It's OK.
And you may look the other way.
We can try to understand
the New York Times' effect on man.
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother,
you're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin',
and we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive.
Well now, I get low and I get high,
and if I can't get either, I really try.
Got the wings of heaven on my shoes.
I'm a dancin' man and I just can't lose.
You know it's all right. It's OK.
I'll live to see another day.
We can try to understand
the New York Times' effect on man.
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother,
you're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin',
and we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive.
Life goin' nowhere. Somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
Life goin' nowhere. Somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah. Stayin' alive.
Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I'm a woman's man: no time to talk.

And you may look the other way.

Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive.

Somebody help me, yeah.
Life goin' nowhere. Somebody help me, yeah.
I'm stayin' alive.



Whether they intended it or not, those lyrics could fit into any punk anthem.

True, but the use of the thumbs-up and the play on the lyrics does not come across as very sympathetic, Glutes.

OK, Phil, I concede, the THUD! was a bit indelicate, but as for the thumbs-up, I actually wanted J.T,'s finger pointing heavenward, but the Message Icon selection doesn't offer one... the closest was the thumbs-up icon.http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/19/SNTFIVR.JPG

Speaking of asterisks, thank you Phil. Without you, I couldn't have stolen that idea. Mwahahahhah. :D

[GILD]

... it's a shame that everyone keeps dying.

yeah, what a drag, what r we going to do?

[harper]

I remember when the brothers Gibb were doing pre-disco music. They had a great melodic and lyrical sense for their day. Then they changed to either keep up with or mold the times. Perhaps both.

[jagur]

yeah one of those Gibb brothers died real early too.

That's what happened to Chicago and to the Dooby Brothers... to the great detriment of their music. :mad:

That's what makes the Rolling Stones and Led Zepplin great. They just got better and better, more and more original.
