Awesome Bee Gees

Stayin’ Alive: Ragtime Rockabilly Edition

Stayin’ Alive: Ragtime Rockabilly Edition

Pianist and arranger Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox specializes in unique cover versions of popular songs. This time, Scott and drummer Roger Ross teamed up with vocalist and upright bass player Wild Bill for a wild interpretation of The Bee Gees’ disco classic Stayin’ Alive. They call it “Ragtime Rockabilly,” but we also get a Wild West saloon vibe.

Stayin’ Alive on Pipe Organ

Stayin’ Alive on Pipe Organ

If there’s one genre of music we never thought we’d hear on a pipe organ, it’s disco. But it’s the internet, and here we are. So put on your boogie shoes, click play, and listen as organist Vincent Thévenaz plays the 1977 Bee Gees hit Stayin’ Alive on the Great Organ at Geneva, Switzerland’s Cathédrale Saint-Pierre.

Stayin’ Alive But It’s Way More Complicated

Stayin’ Alive But It’s Way More Complicated

The 1977 Bee Gees track Stayin’ Alive is one of the most famous songs of the disco era. Musician Charles Berthoud remembers the song a little differently than we do, with way more flourishes for the bass guitar part – and a funky prog-rock synth solo sandwiched in the middle.

8-Bit Bee Gees

The 1970s disco era collides with 1980s video game sounds in this great chiptune cover of the Bee Gees’ hit You Should Be Dancing. We can imagine a pixelated John Travolta lighting up the dance floor while Mario, Pac-Man, and Donkey Kong cheer him on from the sidelines.

Staying Alive Minus Bee Gees

Staying Alive Minus Bee Gees

The movies Saturday Night Fever and its sequel Staying Alive are so indelibly intertwined with the music of the Bee Gees that we can’t imagine them any other way. But the guys at Auralnauts like to subvert expectations, so they edited John Travolta’s big strut scene at the end of the movie, removing the trio’s trademark disco sound.

Foo Fighters Go Disco

Foo Fighters Go Disco

Yes, Foo Fighters have made a Bee Gees cover album. The special-edition LP titled HAIL SATIN was made for Record Store Day 2021 and features the “Dee Gees” performing five disco tracks on one side, and five live songs from Medicine at Midnight on the other. Enjoy their excellent cover version of You Should Be Dancing.

Metal Tragedy

Metal Tragedy

(PG-13: Language) When the feeling’s gone and you can’t go on, it’s tragedy. Resident metalhead Leo Moracchioli presents an angry version of the Bee Gees’ 1979 disco hit Tragedy, a song which seems to be exceptionally relevant during these frustrating days when we can’t always be with our loved ones.

Musician Francesco Parrino splashes a shiny coat of paint on the Bee Gees’ disco classic Stayin’ Alive, giving it a vibrant and jazzy new sound from his piano bench. Be sure to give his arrangement of Elton John’s Rocketman a listen too.

Floppin’ Alive

Floppin’ Alive

Paweł Zadrożniak’s retro-mechanical orchestra The Floppotron is back with another great cover. Listen up as it performs a Bee Gees’ disco classic. If you prefer something a bit more modern, he also dropped a cover of Daft Punk’s Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger this week.

Nights on Broadway Lip Sync

Nights on Broadway Lip Sync

A hilarious, yet impressively accurate lip sync of The Bee Gees’ classic, as performed by comedian and Cirque du Soleil stage performer Jimmy Slonina. We now have The Barry Gibb Talk Show stuck in our heads. Also, Jimmy just he put a spell on us.

Stayin’ Alive without Music

Stayin’ Alive without Music

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk, I’m a woman’s man: no time to talk. Mario Wienerroither pokes fun at everyone’s favorite disco falsetto trio, as Barry, Robin and Maurice stomp about town, wake the neighbors, and make dogs howl.

We’re pretty confident that the microphone, ukulele and drum kit that Leo Moracchioli is playing in his music video for his head-banging arrangement of the Bee Gees’ classic disco track aren’t the ones he actually recorded with.
