I started a thread that started the whole world crying,

[asthmaticeog]

But I didn’t see that the joke was on me, oh no.

I started to cry, which started the whole world laughing,
Oh, if I’d only seen that the joke was on me.

1. The fourth BeeGee: asthmaticeog Gibb.

:cry:

[asthmaticeog]

3. That's the one that died of anal fissures back in '72, right?

:shrug:

[Richardo]

6. You tell me.

:)

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

14. Then that must mean this thread was posted

by his guh..guh..GHOST!

:scared:

[asthmaticeog]

15. But...

... but I'm a FRIENDLY ghost!

[ScreamingMeemie]

2. My mom always taught me to never let anyone have that much control

over my emotions...so you missed it by one. :hi:

[asthmaticeog]

4. Right on!

:hi:

[hfojvt]

Your mom was Eleanor Roosevelt?

"Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent."

10. Shhhhhh....it's a giant secret that I'm not "really" 35.

5. Pre-disco BeeGees was THE BOMB

I own a lot of that stuff on LP. :)

[asthmaticeog]

11. Have you ever heard shannonwright's cover of that tune?

Goddamn gorgeous.

And yeah, big thumbs up on pre-disco Bee Gees.

[no name no slogan]

16. I haven't

but now I have an excuse to hear it. I've done "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" at solo acoustic gigs in the past. It usually gets a few quizzical looks from random strangers. :D

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

18. Yeah, I liked them when they were a Beatles ripoff band

Melody Fair and Lonely Days are classics.

Edit: That sounded a bit insulting to the BeeGees. Allow me to add that Barry Gibb is one of my favorite songwriters. Masterful.

7. I don't know if you care, but The Dirtbombs have a pretty good

version of that song going for them too.

[asthmaticeog]

8. Really? whoisalhedges probably has that, I'll ask him about it.

He's pretty big on the Dirt Bombs, and he's conveniently located.

Thanks for the tip. :hi:

[jane_pippin]

12. Sure thing. It's on this 2 disc set they have out. Here's a link:

It's just to their website but it lists all the songs on the discs. Looks like it's singles plus some weird stuff that might not have made it to a record:

:hi: Enjoy

9. Song most likely to live on in a future Wes Anderson film soundtrack

[asthmaticeog]

13. Hey, why not?

"Rushmore" resurrected one of my fave Kinks tunes. I don't think Anderson's doing a whole lot wrong with music.

[jpgray]

19. Shits, it's already on the Zoolander soundtrack

As a Wallflowers cover. :(

[HughBeaumont]

17. "Run To Me" is one of my favorite sappy pop songs ever.

And pre-disco Bee Gees DOES kick arse, although I LOVE me some "Jive Talkin'", "Nights on Broadway" and "Fanny (Be Tender with My Love)".

[asthmaticeog]

20. Don't you mean "Love (Be Tender with My Fanny)"?

:shrug:

[HughBeaumont]

21. Only if Barry sings with satin pants and much gold.

:freak:
