The BeeGees and ABB are gay bands.

I had an original Odessa album, totally unopened.
I named my puppy Odessa in 1979 and called her Odie.

My cat was named Shenendora. Name THAT tune!

Just my dog and I at the edge of the universe.
Well, I didn’t wanna bring her and I know it’ll make her worse.
Now I look out on forever
and it must be nice down there,
and they call me Shenendora in the air.

Well, I’m ten feet tall, but I’m only three feet wide,
and I live inside an ocean that flows on the other side.
If I came back down tomorrow,
would it all be far too soon?
And it looks like it’s gonna be a lovely afternoon.

I thought that I was going home,
and all the way I kept on praying.
I couldn’t stop to turn around,
well, here I am and here I’m staying.

It’s been my longest journey and I’ve come through the black of night.
I was tired and hungry when I saw your distant light.
Well, I know this may sound crazy,
but I’m sure I got here first.
I’m just me, Shenendora, at the edge of the universe.

I thought that I was going home,
and all the way I kept on praying.
I couldn’t stop to turn around,
well, here I am and here I’m staying.

Now I look out on forever
and it must be nice down there,
and they call me Shenendora in the air.
At the edge of the universe...

ABBA wasn’t meant to be Rock and Roll. Their songs were dance music. If you didn’t dance, you didn’t like ABBa.

Now the BeeGees were different. I didn’t like their dance music but have “Nights on Broadway” on my phone MP3 player right now.

Sorry, man ... its gonna take a lot of hope on your part to get this Beatles fan into caring about them screetching, warbling, irritating Bee Gees .. even if some of their early stuff such as Odessa isn't all half bad.

The best career move they ever made was to go Disco .... the *worst* career move they ever made was to go Disco. Two edged sword, m'FRiend.

Oh, and welcome to Free Republic :)

I don’t know about ABB, but AWB will not be allowed to have a comeback. We don’t need no Average White Band.

Personally I think the Beatles were horribly overrated.

And Damn straight the BeeGees made and era of music with Disco. Made huge money too. That doesn’t make a song like “Nights on Broadway” any less than art.

The tempo changes and harmonies are better than ANYTHING those drugged out, egomaniacs from liverpool ever did
