Yes listen to For Whom The Bell Tolls! As someone here suggested. It’s as beautiful as this.

This is one of my absolute favorites from bee gees. Love the beat. It is up there with to love somebody a d love you inside out, words I started a joke.... classics

I'm a sucker for a song with syncopation and this is one of the very best!

"This is Just Where I Came In" is another great and really catchy BeeGees song 😊

I love the little seemingly random snaps at the end of the verses. How could anyone not like this song?

The music has like an industrial sound. These guys are absolute musical genius's!!!!!

This was terrific music from the brilliant Bee Gees during a 'quiet spell' for them ..... one of their best releases in my eyes, the beat, the lyrics, just truly outstanding.

Love Robin's input in this song!

This song went to number 1

Maurice came up the 'stomps' ( the thumping sound) while messing around in his garage on his drum machine.....he was a musical genius....he could coax music out of any instrument he laid his hands on....

The lyric's in this song it's one of the best. love the reaction

After being the most successful group of the 70s with 9 #1 songs, they hit a dry spell in the 80s. This song was a Bee Gees comeback. Music always changes. Artists either change with the times or get left behind. This is why the Bee Gees had such a long, great, career. They kept reinventing themselves by creating a completely different sound updating their music to fit the current times.

Please react to the Bee Gees Song You Should Be Dancing. The live version has Andy Gibb joining his brothers so all Four brothers singing together is amazing.

I love love love these ladies and reaction and i very much this song .

After the Disco slump took place in the at the tail-end of the 70's into the early 80's, the boys were busy writing new songs to try and reinvent themselves (yet again) . . . Very little held them back though, as they always seemed able to conjure up new styles for themselves which they felt would work . . . These were the same days when they came up with a "Love" song for Babra Streisand's vocal skills, Woman In Love - Diana Ross was then looking for a song for her to make a comeback - and they gave her the "Pop" Chain Reaction . . . Also the same decade as Islands In The Stream appeared for Kenny & Dolly, too . . . While in the 90's it was Immortality they wrote especially for Celine to sing . . . (Of course, there were many, many, more songs they wrote for not only other singers, but also to perform them themselves later as well - which is why they have such a huge catalogue of music . . .) - And, many groups or singers have also wished to make covers of some of their better known songs also . . .

I really like the video editing in this one, it's so energetic and really captures the song! Great song and one of my favorites of BeeGees!

It’s one of my favorites from all of my favorites, which are almost all the songs The Bee Gees wrote. Lately I have been going through some their lesser known songs and they’re are all so beautiful. It’s a shame that the radio stations in the US refused to play their music for a few years. Complete albums were totally ignored and they have such great songs. I have noticed in other reaction sites were they’re so dismissive of The Bee Gees music and they’ll just say they sing too high and they’re a Disco band, not bothering to really listen to them. The Bee Gees are great no matter if it’s in their falsetto voices or their chest voices. The Bee Gees didn’t like to be called a disco band because their music was of different genres. In the 70’s it was primarily funk and r&b’s.

You both continue to charm with your chemistry and humor and Bee Gees love!! Thanks so much. This song won #2 in the contest "The UK's Favorite 20 Bee Gees Songs" The song got to No. 1 in the UK and much of Europe, but didn't do well in the U.S. (#75 Top 100)) because the trio was still battling to get radio play after the silly and phobic Disco backlash. America wasn't ready to welcome them back after their 9 songs saturated the airwaves in the latter half of the '70s. The Bee Gees needed a few more years to get the airplay and promo they deserved. "You Win Again" was awarded the 1987 British Academy's Ivor Novello award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. That's saying a lot! You liked the drum stomps? Brother Maurice conceived the drum machine sounds in his garage. Phil Collins asked him for a copy of the stomps.😆 Rock on. Ladies!!

This song came out in 1987 and it completely fell under my radar. I was only listening to FM radio and I doubt this would have gotten much play. It's obviously post disco material. Barry is singing in his "normal" range without so much falsetto. It did appear that Robin may have hit some high notes. I need to hear it a few more times before I put it on my play list.

There is a live video of this from a concert in London I believe that has Phil Collins on drums. It's awesome!

When they first went into the studio, all the producers and big wigs wanted it taken out, but the brothers said no, it's staying. After the song was released everybody wanted a copy of it or how it was done, incuding Phil Collins. Thank you for doing this one as well, awesome song..... just like all the rest!

Watching the two of you appreciate these oldies even brings tears to my eyes at times, nostalgia is a powerful and wonderful thing. My two favourite groups of all time are the Bee Gees and Abba and they have both both produced a wonderful catalogue of great music. If you want to hear a not often played gem from the Brothers Gibb then take a listen to 'The Only Love' you will be totally bowled over. There is a version where they sing live and it goes beyond incredible. A true masterpiece. Keep up the good work ladies and Cheers,

And of course, it is part of what makes the song! Thank you Mo!! Love Robin's "Oh Girl" and love his long hair and tam, and love Barry's ponytail, which he did for a movie he was making :-) They played this song for Nelson Mandela concert with 2 full sets of drums and Phil Collins was on one!!

It's called syncopation....the off-beat or missed beat sound when their words come between the crashes of the beat at times. Another term for the same effect is 'contrapuntal', or counterpoint.

Such a great song. This is the era where I really started to notice the Bee Gees. Not that I didn't think their songs were good back in the 70's, but they were just background when I was younger. I didn't really go down the Bee Gees rabbit hole though until I started watching reactions to their songs during the pandemic. So I totally get it when you point out their hotness and the way you just cannot pigeonhole this group's music. :D

I don’t know how anyone at anytime could not love The Bee Gees! This one went under the radar for us too. So glad it was suggested!

The best Bee Gees song ever! It was their last No.1 hit and in many countries. Written by Barry and Maurice , it started from a demo of a drum machine by Maurice and they built it from there. The record company tried to get the noisy intro beat taken off but the band refused and knew it was a signature sound. I don’t know why but this song manages to uplift but also make me cry every time. It such a powerful melody. And the structure of the song is so complicated but sounds simple. 4 weeks at No.1 here in U.K. I miss the Bee Gees .

You should listen to Bodyguard by the Bee Gees. Robin kills in this song

I recommend the song One by the Bee Gees. It’s from late 80’s

The Bee Gees were very good at adapting to the times of music. If you like a sort of rock style for the Bee Gees, ESP by the Bee Gees is the most rock like song I can think of and it has a very different style than anything you heard from the Bee Gees.

Fun fact. Maurice created the stomping sound by recording the sound of hitting various trash cans in his garage. When you see this song performed live, there is no actual drums or percussion instruments, just Maurice with either a keyboard, keytar or synthesiser. Phil Collins later approached Maurice in an airport looking to purchase a copy of “the stomps” for a song that he was working on. Maurice gave them to him for free as a thank you for being a session drummer for the Bee Gees since 1971. When asked about this in an interview shortly before his death he replied “I don’t have many genuine mates, Phil is one”.

So many people are surprised by the Bee Gees songs of the 1980s. Unfortunately, the Bee Gees "disco backlash" was still going on... well into the 1980s, and a lot of radio station program directors would not touch their music. What they didn't know was they were already playing their music... it was just being sung by other artists (Kenny Rogers, Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick, etc.). So this great tune, "You Win Again" hardly got any airplay, and only reached a peak of #75 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1987. We all know this song deserved to reach much higher than #75. Anyway... previously, I requested you two to react to two songs by the brothers... "Nights on Broadway" (performed live on The Midnight Special) in 1975, and "This Is Where I Came In" (their final single & video) from 2001. After I posted that request, I realized there were two more singles, that NOBODY EVER REACTS TO, that I wanted to request a reaction to. Mom may or may not remember these two... they are both from the 80s, and in both of the videos, the brothers actually get to play acting roles. The first is "He's A Liar" from 1981. This was the first single from the "Living Eyes" album. The style of the music was WAY DIFFERENT from the songs on their previous "Spirits Having Flown" album. It may have been too much of a departure from their normal style because a lot of radio stations would not play the song... or perhaps it was because of the "disco backlash" that was into full swing. Either way, the song did hit the Top 40, but did not chart much higher. Maurice's acting abilities shine in this video!!!!! The second song is "The Woman In You" from 1983. It is a single taken from the soundtrack of the "Staying Alive" movie (which was a sequel to "Saturday Night Fever"). A lot of people don't remember this song, the soundtrack album, or even the movie. The song was definitely in the style of 1980s dance music, and again, the brothers had a chance to play acting roles in the video. Both of these videos seem to have poor resolution as the master copies of them have apparently disappeared over the years, but I would still love to see you two react to them and react to the great acting roles the brothers did in both videos.
