Jive Talkin' is a song by the Bee Gees, released as a single in May 1975. This was the lead single from the album Main Course (as well as a song on the 1977 Saturday Night Fever soundtrack). It hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in the middle of 1975. Largely recognised as the group's comeback song, it was their first US top-10 hit since "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" (1971). The song was originally called "Drive Talking" in its early stage. The song's rhythm was modelled after the sound their car made crossing the Julia Tuttle Causeway each day from Biscayne Bay to Criteria Studios in Miami. Recording for Jive Talkin' took place on January 30 and February 2, 1975. The scratchy guitar intro was done by Barry and the funky bass line by Maurice. The pulsing synthesiser bass line, which featured in the final recording, was one of the earliest uses of "synth bass" on a pop recording. This single is in Very Good condition.
