The Bee Gees’ original version is an upbeat, bouncy number that’s characterized by the driven horn section and the singers’ gentle falsetto vocals. The track is a classic dance tune. The Dee Gees version emulates the classic Bee Gees zingy vocal qualities while adding some stylized lower moments in the melody. The cover focuses more on the electric guitar and the percussion in the instrumentals, including some synth piano. Check it out:
