Bee Gees Trivia

60s hits - 
New York Mining Disaster 1941 - about guys trapped in a mine 
Chorus
Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones? Do you know what it's like on the outside? Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones.


I've just gotta get a message to you - about a convicted felon on his way to be executed
Chorus
Ive just got to get a message to you, hold on, hold on. One more hour and my life will be through, hold on, hold on.


Big hits on death.  


So what is the big disco hit?  
Stayin alive.  


These guys were obsessed with death.  

Some people call me Maurice

      I seen a movie the other day rated Bee Gee, it wasn't pleasant let me tell you.....seriously.......never looked at those guys that way. Most of their music I associated with fun and a good time, but then I didn't listen very close to the words either.

    These guys were obsessed with death.  

    I'm not sure 3 songs out of a few hundred should be termed "obsessed". There repertoire likely has a few more songs that reference death, but it's is a fact of life - and impossible to avoid.

    Don't fix it in the mix ... Fix it in the take!
