Jive Talkin' by Bee Gees

It was four years since the last Bee Gees hit, and now they were back in the charts with this strange named record. The three brothers named the record Drive Talking, as the sound of their car was the inspiration to the record. The car when going across a certain bridge made the sound that you can hear all through this hit record.

They were also surprised to find out that Jive Talkin' was black slang for "Bullxxxxing", but never the less al three brothers decided to continue, and sent the records in a plain white envelope to the radio stations. This sparked an interest and the record began to get airplay.

Jive Talkin' would also later appear on the famous "Saturday Night Fever" LP. The big one in the hits of 70s music.
