Name | New Career | Comments & Submitter Name |
| "Andy Gibb" | "I'm not sure what Andy would have been if he hadn't split from his brothers and become addicted to drugs. He knew that he didn't want to do what Barry, Maurice, and Robin were doing. " | - Celeste |
Song Name | Comments & Submitter Name |
| "I've Gotta Get A Message To You" | It's rather a technicality that this song fits this category, but the phrase that repeatedly occurs in the song is "I've just gotta get a message to you." The word "just" in that phrase breaks up the title phrase, so that technically the title never exactly occurs in the lyrics. - Allison O'Silla |
| "New York Mining Disater 1941" | It should be known as 'Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones' sice that's the line that is uttered more in this song. - Paul Warren |

"Lonely Days"
The Repetitive Lyrics: Lonely days
Lonely nights Where would I be without my woman? Why They're Repetitive: These are the most-repeated lines in the song; in fact, this is the chorus, which is repeated ad nauseam!
Submitted by: crazydon
| "Living In Chicago"
The Repetitive Lyrics: If you're living in Chicago
It's your home If you're living in Chicago You're alone Why They're Repetitive: From their obscure 1973 album Life in a Tin Can. It sounds as if they were stretching for a rhyme to the word 'alone.' Of course Chicago is your home if you're living in it.

"Paying The Price Of Love"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: How did you find there was somebody more than you want me?
Why They're Nonsensical: When the Brothers Gibb wrote songs, they came up with the melody first, then would make the lyrics fit the melody. (They discuss this in their biographical video 'Keppel Road.') Unfortunately, sometimes this practice would result in grammatical nightmares like the one here, from the 1993 album "Size Isn't Everything."

| "I Started A Joke"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: I finally died, which started the whole world living.
Why They're Nonsensical: What is the most implausible thing here? Is it that one could die and thereby start the whole world living? Or that one could die and know that one's death started the whole world living? Or that one could die and then sing about one's death and how it started the whole world living?

"Stayin' Alive"
The Insincere Lyrics: Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
I'm a woman's man: no time to talk Why They're Insincere: Is it possible to really sell that line in falsetto? A more apt phrasing might be 'I'm a girly man'.
Submitted by: The Walrus
| "I Started a Joke"
The Insincere Lyrics: I finally died,
which started the whole world living, Why They're Insincere: If you're dead, who's singing?

"Nights on Broadway"
The Lyrics: Well, I had to follow you
Though you did not want me to But that won't stop my loving you I can't stay away Why: These lines sound like they're being sung by a stalker. In fact, a few of my fellow Bee Gees fans jokingly call this "the stalking song."

"Paying the Price of Love"
The Lyrics: How did you find there was somebody more than you want me? I never understood...
Why: The Brothers Gibb songwriting style was to write the song's melody first, then make the lyrics fit the melody. Sometimes the grammar didn't work. This is a more extreme example - it should have correctly been more like "How did you find there was somebody you want more than you want me?."

"Living in Chicago"
The Lyrics: If you're living in Chicago, it's your home
If you're living in Chicago, you're alone Why: Mentioning Chicago, Illinois on their obscure album "Life in a Tin Can."
Submitted by: Martha Hankins
| "Massachusetts (The Lights Went Out)"
The Lyrics: Tried to hitch a ride to San Francisco
Gotta do the things I wanna do And the lights all went out in Massachusetts They brought me back to see my way with you Why: The song is written as a sort of reverse of the Summer of Love, about a person who went to San Francisco but now wants to go home back East.

"Spicks And Specks"
The Lyrics: Where is the sun
That shone on my head The sun in my life It is dead It is dead Where is the light That would play In my streets And where are the friends I could meet I could meet Why: This song is about the sense of loneliness that was felt when things have changed and people have moved on.
Submitted by: Rocky Mak
| "I started a joke"
The Lyrics: I started a joke, that started the whole world crying.
Why: Many of the Bee Gees early recordings are upbeat, but they have sorrowful lyrics. And this song is no exception.

The Lyrics: Stayin' alive
Stayin alive Ah-ah-ah-ah Stayin' alive Why: That would be horrible and ironic at once if that plays when you're at a funeral.
