The first and probably last in a series.
I was in the supermarket the other day and this old Bee Gees song came on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eR6KBXbH3EI If you're not listening closely, it's easy to think it's pretty benign and harmless. You win! That's nice! But halfway down the cereal and biscuit aisle I started paying attention to the lyrics, and realised for the first time what a deeply screwed-up song it is. That's the wonder of pop; you can sell all sorts of sociopathic messages with a catchy tune. Anyway, haven't had much opportunity for music this year, but I was looking for an excuse to test out a new second-hand mic, so here's a quick cover of this creepy, passive-aggressive stalker anthem. (I left out the obligatory 80s key change.) You Win Again (Bee Gees cover) |

Great arrangement, and a nice change of pace/style in the Cafe.
Good work  |

First time ever hearing that Bee Gees song. I wonder if it got any serious radio play in the US?
Nice and snarky remake however. I'd listen to yours over the Gibb bros anytime! -Scott |

Great to hear you Barnadine!
Yes, I listened before reading your post and was thinking the words were a wee bit scary underneath... socio-pop for sure. Anyhow, lovely rendition, really enjoyed it. ----   |

Better a Barnadine singing a creepy Bee Gees song than no Barnadine at all.
I enjoyed it. Thanks. |

Cheers for listening, all. 
seismic1: I've been away from the Cafe for a while, so I'm not sure what the house style is these days. Still ambient death polka? Scott: I expect the Bee Gees get more airplay here because of the Aussie connection, but I only half-knew this one. I had to go home and google what I remembered of the lyrics to find out the title. |

I have Bee Gees under "unlistenable" tag, thanks for recovering this song, it's lovely. |

Very nice Barnadine.
A warm, jolly version of a song about domestic issues. Enjoyable choice of, and timing of, your instruments too. |
