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.
