HEY! its been a while.
On Saturdays I listen to the 70s station on SiriusXM. They play recordings of American Top 40 from the 70s three or four times each weekend. Last weekend the episode was from 1979, but as usual, Kasey Kasim was giving out bits of music history.
This time it was the subject of "Misheard Lyrics". The song? The all to familiar Disco hit "Jive Talkin'" by the Bee Gees. 4
Now, I despise Disco every bit as much today as I did in the late 70s. So I wasn't paying that close attention. Kasey asked if the listeners knew ho the song started? "Sure" I said out loud "J-J-J-Jive talkin'. You're tellin' me lies..."
"Its not J-J-J-Jive talking." said the voice of AM Radio History. The actual lyrics are "Its just your Jive Talkin'..."
He then played that shameless ripoff of a dozen songs I like (you can hear the opening riff from "Superstition" in this song's intro). DAMMIT! He's right.
Get you ear plugs kiddies and campers. Jive Talkin' by the Bee Gees.
I'm gonna cleanse my ears with something better. Does anyone know why Jimi wants to "kiss this guy?"
