"First of May" by The Jigsaw Seen


 

Los Angeles, California garage rock band The Jigsaw Seen released a live cover of "First of May," a 1969 single from Australian disco act Bee Gees.

Contrary to the song's lyrics, now that the Bee Gees are tall does not mean that Christmas trees are suddenly small.  Take, for instance, the 79-foot-tall Norway Spruce that was displayed in Rockefeller Center during the winter of 2021.  

THAT'S a big ol' tree.  

For other Bee Gees covers, Les Claypool's Duo De Twang's version of "Stayin' Alive" can be found here, and Pink Turtle's version of "How Deep is Your Love" can be found here.

"Stayin' Alive" by Les Claypool's Duo De Twang

 


I'll probably need to surrender my Primus Superfan card, because I was completely unaware that this cover existed until earlier this week.

Man of a thousand projects Les Claypool (of Primus, Sausage, Frog Brigade, and probably Miami Sound Machine) joined guitarist Bryan Kehoe to form hillbilly country act Duo De Twang

Here is their rendition of 1977 disco hit "Stayin' Alive," attributed to The Bee Gees from the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack.

For another Bee Gees cover, Pink Turtle's version of "How Deep is Your Love?" can be found here.

"How Deep Is Your Love" by Pink Turtle

 


French swing ensemble Pink Turtle take Australian disco era sibling group The Bee Gees' 1971 pop ballad "How Deep Is Your Love" and toss in some jazz lines that are as silky smooth as a vanilla bean Crème Brûlée.
