The Bee Gees and Deep Purple - “You Should Be Smoking” 

Gabesafish haaaaaaaaaaa

Gabesafish Yooooo 😂😂😂😂

Awesome comment!

Gabesafish it's royal purple.

:)

Bee Purple

haha, that sounds like the Gyp-Sies.

Purple Bees

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Is that Hard Disco or Disco Rock?

It kicks ass

This is true

But who hasn't listened to both songs?

Given the Foo Fighters' exploits as the Dee Gees, this idea is less far fetched than it seems

But..... If you know these songs and what a clash of culture they represent....it makes it so much more delicious. "Fire in the sky, YEAH"

Right, sac religious than - now better than anything in the last 20 years

My thoughts, exactly! Thanks!

Amazing how nostalgia and lowered levels of testosterone (ha!) can open up an older man's perspective!

@@JLajos It also doesn't help that we have our past to compare with the present and the present has been churning out formulaic garbage for at least the past 20 years I've worked in music radio. I've seen a very sharp decline and had many, many conversations about it over bong hits. Once all the bigger labels swallowed up the little indie ones, the level of creative freedom lowered because fewer managers were handling more bands which breeds an environment where efficiency is a higher goal than quality of product. No one takes risks and that's what is missing. True Avant Gard not some poser corporatized version of it. Sorry for the rant.

Strange isn´t it? If your are young, you take this stuff like a religion! Only then you get older you take it with a lot more chill.

The genius of "Smoke On The Water" is that it follows very simple chord progressions that become quickly addictive to follow, like a commercial jingle. So many of the most popular songs in history were simple songs to follow.

The running high hat at the beginning is totally disco 😮

@@jlobiafra take the guitar line and replace it with the same line played by a string section. pure disco

The Bee Gees rule..... still do

I don't really get the high pitched voice thing but they were good,

I will quote Alice Cooper, re The Bee Gees: “Damn, these motherf***ers know how to write music!”

@@markorollo. try other songs of bee gees that are not that high pitched you'll love em

Prolly has something to do with their being great.

Likewise..totally agree

Jon Lord is my shepherd.

😀

maybe in the water, this is way too good.

hahahaha!!!!! 👍👍. best comment yet!!!

I was just thinking it should be called DeepWaterDancin’ then I saw your comment 💜🕺🏽

many rock bands added disco sounds around this time to try and adapt to the trend, so there is lots of this kind of stuff out there from the late 70s, of course those albums seen as the rock bands worst albums.

@@RocknJazzer even zeppelin did this indeed

@@alexandervandenhoogen3969 - yeah pretty much every one, including many of my beloved prog and fusion bands of the era (but not all). The added disco elements hurt what otherwise could be great songs, so I've learned to tolerate it but dont like it

@@RocknJazzer With varying successes. Kinks & Rolling Stones' disco songs were alright. Rod Stewart's & Paul McCartney's were awful.

Cuz how Bill rolls

Love both these songs! Together they're pretty sweet!

how convenient so many songs have a same programmed bpm 🤔

I like these mash ups but this is not better than Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple.

@@gator2813 smoke on the water sucks the beegees fuck deep purple

Tight polyester pants will bring you up an octave or two.

​@@onebigusdorkus😂😂😂😂😂!

Agreed!

Yes, he would have preferred a mashup with ABBA's Dancing Queen ;-)

For the Love of Good Music.. somehow I doubt that

Ritchie is a big fan of pop music. His admiration for ABBA in particular is well documented. Am sure he’d smile at this

Good

Michael Taylors Ritchie is a massive ABBA fan. Well documented.

This finally answers everything, Barry Gibb was "some stupid with a flare gun".

@@conniethesconnie This doesn't answer a fuck

@@Esplodiamoinallegria Someone doesn't understand sarcasm...

thats good stuff!

You can keep Carlton. Suzanne Sommers sexy as hell in her youth. BM probably could have spliced in Robert Palmer and his sexy models dancing in this video if her had thought about that possibility too.

Jan Janusz Deep Gees

Ian ❤️

Purple G's

LOL...awesome! this sounds great, too!

Gee's Purple

That's my takeaway too.

Just posted that Sherman won the celebrity dance off at the end!! Dude had the moves!

Was that a mini moonwalk 😂✊

@@Ridendrty Closer to the sort of moves Cab Calloway had, I think.

Yeah in class we were taught to do chest compressions to * staying alive".

You got that a li'l mixed up. Above reply is correct.

@@BWater-yq3jx ないす

That's part of the secret to the success of disco. It's so easy to jump into a good disco song and find the rhythm to dance to it without even being a good dancer..

Totally agree...And hope everything OK in SA..I lived there in 80s

same

i went to the clips right away LOL

"Some people attempt to dance on TV, but ladies and gentlemen, for your consideration, Mr. George Jefferson."

I watched so much Jeffersons and Three’s Company!

Forgot to say that The Purple Bee are also geat.

Love this. Big fan of both songs but mashed up was brilliant 👏

This is actually Purple Bee 😅

yep l thought Glenn Hughes would too

+SpiderDan 2099: Yes. I was surprised when I saw the "Three's Company" clip and was laughing all the way through to the end.

This was around 1978. I think Madison Square Garden. This moment in their history is considered 'the pinnacle' of the Bee Gees, they were never more-successful. Love that Andy got to share in their success, if only for a night.

I never did LSD so it can't be a flashback 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

DJ Cummerbund gives him a run for his money.

@@oreoknight4809 They are both #1 to me.

Wax Audio as well as the two you guys mentioned. Great time to be alive.

mootbooxle Yeah, the MASTER of MASTERING. You could even say he’s the master of mastering puppets.

Bill ll whithers

No. He’s god.

Al Bundy at 4:15. Go Al!

Susan summers 😍

And Lenny's mom makes a hell of a partner, too.

@@ericandy88 first time I read this I thought it said LEMMY'S mom. 🤪

Some people are just douche bags

I bet some Deep Purple fans were enraged

dislikes are from humorless constipated "true" DP funs. you know the ones wearing Iron Maiden T-shirts.

They don't dislike this, they dislike themselves!

Probably just butthurt idiot trolls who've NOTHING better to do than be arses, troll, and shove carrots up their bottoms. WANKERS WITH NO SENSE OF HUMOUR!

Yes. Whether you intend to or not, lmao. You just kinda stumble into it.

Right? In my Jr. High years the Hard Rock & Disco camps were sworn enemies. I think it's way past time for them to hear this and join hands, though. :D

Sacred cows make the best hamburgers.

Yeah, this did make me vomit a little...

@@chickenray182 why? i'm a metal fan as much as most and this was great. and funny as fuck. and a killer ending too.

@@47and28 I guess it is because of Gillan's funky moves to the rhythm. And may be b/c of 1:50 (that one kills me every time, in a good way, I can't get enough of it).
