I just heard a bluegrass version of "Stayin' Alive." It was pretty cool until I realized what it was. Now I can't get the image of the Bee Gees out of my head.

**Edit**
It was The McGee brothers from a new compliation called Saturday Night Hayfever. It's all bluegrass versions of disco songs.

There's another version of Stayin' Alive done by a swing band, see http://www.martyandelayne.com/ - it's played in the movie 'Swingers.'

It sends most people screaming.

Maybe Rolf Harris' version of 'stairway to heaven' would act as an antidote...

Nothing wrong with liking the Bee Gees.....:-)...

Not even the pre-disco stuff?

No. I probably don't dislike it much, though.

Just curious. I can only take it in small doses, but some of the stuff they did from the late '60's-early '70's is really lovely. Harmonies to die for...

I've heard that rendition on the radio. Was that the Del McCoury band? I heard the BeeGees on the radio while I was driving home last night.

I don't think it was. I've heard his version of "1952 Vincent," but that's about it.

I've got the Picking on the Grateful Dead record, but that's not much a stretch for bluegrass. I like bluegrass, and I like hearing songs done in completely different styles.

I'll have to check that out when I get a chance. Thanks!

John Peel's Fabriclive DJ compilation includes a track by an Australian band called the Kingswoods which is a rockabilly version of the Sex Pistols' 'pretty vacant' - called 'purty vacant'.

That sounds cool.

I've got the country/bluegrass version of Pink Floyd's The Wall, but Luther Wright and the Wrongs.

OH NO! Now I'm going to be walking around work for the rest of the day singing it in a high squeaky voice. Thanks a lot!

...maybe I'll sing it in chicken language instead...baaak!
