Bee Gees Quiz: Guess the Song & Test Your Trivia

A Bee Gees quiz splits along one line: falsetto or not. Guess the Bee Gees song from disco anthems like 'Stayin' Alive' and 'Night Fever' to the swoon of 'How Deep Is Your Love', then test your trivia on the group's first act, the lush 1960s ballads 'Massachusetts' and 'I Started a Joke' that sound like a different band with Robin Gibb on lead. Deep cuts hide 'Islands in the Stream', written for Kenny Rogers. See how well you really know Bee Gees by dating a song from where Barry's voice sits.

Bee Gees Trivia: Two Bands in One

The stories behind the hits settle the close rounds: a falsetto discovered by accident in the studio, six number ones in a row, and a run of songs the brothers gave away to other stars.

The Bee Gees were brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb, and the group's name is usually traced to 'Brothers Gibb.'
Barry Gibb's falsetto, the sound of 'Stayin' Alive,' first took over in 1975 while recording 'Nights on Broadway' with producer Arif Mardin.
In the late 1970s the Bee Gees scored six consecutive US number-one singles, a streak matched by almost no one at the time.
Their Saturday Night Fever soundtrack (1977) is one of the best-selling soundtrack albums ever recorded.
The brothers also wrote 'Islands in the Stream' for Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton and 'Woman in Love' for Barbra Streisand.

How Well Do You Know Bee Gees' Two Eras?

The Bee Gees catalog lives in two halves. Start with the disco anthems everyone knows, then cross into the 1960s ballad band, learn the falsetto tell, and reach the songs they wrote for other stars.

The disco anthems (easy points)

These are the giveaways in any Bee Gees quiz. 'Stayin' Alive,' 'Night Fever,' 'You Should Be Dancing' and 'How Deep Is Your Love' anchored the 1977 Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, and Barry Gibb's falsetto marks them within a bar. Most players bank these before the first chorus.

The 1960s ballad band (where it gets tricky)

Before the disco, the brothers were a ballad group. 'Massachusetts,' 'Words,' 'To Love Somebody' and 'I Started a Joke' are lush, orchestral and led by Robin Gibb's quavering voice, with no falsetto in sight. They sound like a different band, which is exactly why a 60s clip catches people who only know the disco Bee Gees.

The falsetto tell (where superfans pull ahead)

The real separator is the voice. Barry's falsetto first surfaced on 'Nights on Broadway' and 'Jive Talkin'' from 1975's Main Course, then powered the Spirits Having Flown singles 'Too Much Heaven,' 'Tragedy' and 'Love You Inside Out.' Fans who can date a song by how high Barry is singing pull ahead here.

Written for other stars (the curveballs)

The trickiest questions leave the band's own records. The Gibbs wrote 'Islands in the Stream' for Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton, 'Woman in Love' for Barbra Streisand and 'Chain Reaction' for Diana Ross, and Barry wrote 'Grease' for Frankie Valli. Spotting a Bee Gees song in someone else's voice is the deep end of the quiz.

Bee Gees Quiz FAQ

What does the Bee Gees quiz test?

It plays a clip and asks you to name the song. The tell is often the voice: Barry Gibb's falsetto marks the disco hits, while the 1960s ballads ride Robin Gibb's lead, so the quiz jumps between two very different sounds.

Which Bee Gees songs come up the most?

'Stayin' Alive,' 'Night Fever,' 'How Deep Is Your Love,' 'You Should Be Dancing' and 'More Than a Woman' lead, with 60s ballads like 'Massachusetts' and 'I Started a Joke' for the harder rounds.

Why is the Bee Gees quiz tricky?

Most people only know the falsetto disco era. A late-60s ballad sung by Robin Gibb sounds like a completely different group, and the songs the brothers wrote for other stars catch even big fans.

Who were the members of the Bee Gees?

Brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb. Robin and Maurice were twins. Born on the Isle of Man and raised in England and Australia, they took the name from 'Brothers Gibb.'
