For those of you who’ve been enduring the country music for the past two days, it’s time to reward you with something else. One more country song (and a bluegrass song) to come, but for now we turn back to “the regular stuff” for today’s song with “talk” in the title. And, for you newcomers, I really do listen to both yesterday’s song and today’s song. #7: Jive Talkin’ - Bee Gees Hopefully everyone knew this one was coming. After all, this was on my ten favorite Bee Gees songs list. If you grew up in the 70s, as I did, you probably were sick to death of these guys by 1978, thanks to Saturday Night Fever.

Enjoy this blast from the past. Jive Talkin’ Written by Barry, Maurice, and Robin Gibb Recorded by The Bee Gees From Main Course, 1975 So misunderstood:
