I was a redhead then. And the album came out before I married, anyhoo. Good take on the Bee Gees reinventing themselves, Pont-Levis.<br /><br /><i>Never got laid with anything having to do with disco, lawrence welk, or hee-haw.</i><br /><br />Heh. Hee-Haw never worked for me, either. Mainly coz I never let it get close.<br /><br />Bec: That's the coolest dang thing about music... you hear a certain tune and BAM! there you are, right back there. That works two ways, of course.<br /><br />Kris: The Bee Gees <b>were</b> at the top at the time. Big time.<br /><br /><i>I can watch SNF, and still enjoy it just as much as when I was a teenager.</i><br /><br />Heh. You puppy, you.<br /><br /><i>There was no shortage of good music from the 70's except for that Starland Vocal Band nonsense.</i><br /><br />Their ONE hit was in constant rotation when I nearly died in the hospital at Yokota AB (the story is in my sidebar: "Weird Scenes V") and I think it MIGHT have been playin' at a most appropriate time. Ergo, I have a weird attachment to that particular tune.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-53334607131491407862011-06-23T09:28:38.664-06:002011-06-23T09:28:38.664-06:00Good stuff, stands up well over time.

Loved the Bee Gees and not ashamed to admit it.<br /><br />They were the top of the heap in their day; <i>Jive Talkin'</i> was one of the best they ever did.

What a catchy rhythm! Nice memories of my young self and my elder partner (I'm her age now, I think!) as I cooked the burgers and she handled the crowd. Listened to the Apollo-Soyuz docking (1975) on the radio that summer, too, and thought, how great! I also spilled a huge bowl of melted butter on the bottom of the refrigerator. Yikes! (Yes, we cooked with real butter.)Becnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-57211621735013740452011-06-22T16:48:04.038-06:002011-06-22T16:48:04.038-06:00I learned to bump-my-rump to this album.

Compare this to when the lights went out in mass. Sort of like Pet Sounds, and Sgt Pepper completely left everything behind as ancient.<br /><br />The song was actually inspired by driving over a drawbridge every day to the studio (acording to Barry).<br /><br />He said that everyday the tires would go "che-che-che" as they went over the steel cage material of the draw part of the bridge. Ack, if you've never been over a drawbridge made out of steel mesh you won't know what I am on about.J'ai un pont-levis dans mon Levi'snoreply@blogger.com
