Bee Gees - Bunberrys | REACTION

[@ColleenRiese]

Lovely song by the amazing Bee Gees 😍❤️ Sweet Robin is always in my heart ❤️

[@LillyMarz777]

How cute was that? 🥰

[@karis_H.2000]

It truly is amazing all the different music things the Bee Gees have done - that they could go from singing about very adult topics to singing songs for a cute children's series! And, that's not even mentioning all the different genres of music they've done! Not only did they do them, they were absolutely amazing at every single one of them, even if it didn’t suit them very well, which was rarely ever the case - in my opinion, at least! I look forward to the rest of this weekend's marathon!

There is a cute video ( the cartoon, that goes with the song. ) they are cute rabbits that have a cricket team. oh, ok, didn’t know about the second one. David English played their mom and manager in This is where I came in. That video technicolor dreams was filmed at David’s house in England. Actually, David English is a famous British Shakespeare actor. He had been great friends with Barry especially, but all the brothers. He is a hoot, have seen him in interviews. He always said if The Bee Gees didn’t go into music they would have been great in comedy. The Bee Gees also did another cartoon book, again for charity …this was about the brothers. These days used copies run close to $300.00! Wish I had one!

[@juanita6479]

'Bunbury Afternoon' was written by the three brothers and David English, don't know if the first song too or just the brothers, anyway David appears in 'Technicolor Dreams' as you said, not playing the instrument, but smoking something and fooling around, he also appears in the making of 'This is where I came in', the one playing their Mom LOL Great reaction Chad, thanks a lot!!

[@Judy-mf5cw]

This is cool, first time hearing this. I like it. 🥰 Thanks for sharing this Chad.

[@tonielliott8659]

I hear other voices. You can't miss that Robin harmony. After listening to him over and over I can pick his voice out of 25 layer voices

[@carolespinoza8469]

Chad,. This was so darn great.😜😜😜. I've never seen this before. So awesome just like the brothers. 💞💞💞. Thank you sweetie. ❤️‍🔥

[@janicetrimmell6897]

David English, great friend to the brothers, was a cricket player in his younger years, and for a time President of RSO records. I think they all met in the early 70s. It seems to me they had their senses of humor in common. I love the Caribbean rhythms in "We're the Bunberrys." Gives me the same feel as "Shine Shine." What a sweet story, and sound...done for charity.

[@brandyncross4584]

In 1988, The Bee Gees, Elton John, Eric Clapton and George Harrison teamed up as a group called The Bunburys and recorded a song called Fight (No Matter How Long) for the 1988 Summer Olympics album. The song reached #8 on the Billboard Rock Tracks chart. The song rocks, needless to say!

[@marciamaria7796]

Fantásticos! Amei a música! Bem dançante!👍👋👋👋📀🇧🇷❤❤

[@judykindred4550]

Love these songs.

[@dp3396]

Besides already mentioned stories and projects... Barry and David came up with the storyline for HAWKS. He was also with Barry in the 70’s at the height of their fame when they entered Barry in a Barry Gibb Lookalike contest that Barry didn’t win. If you’re a reader, David English wrote a book about his life adventures titled Mad Dogs & The Englishmen. He said that he stumbled into his career, so was amazed by the Gibbs and Clapton who had a dream and worked for it passionately from early ages and made it happen. Another thing that stood out was that he had heard Barry praise two artists for their musical talent and professionalism - Streisand and Elton John. When they asked, Elton John immediately agreed to record a song for the Bunbury project. He came into the studio prepared, and recorded in only one or two takes. ...and Barry sang Too Much Heaven at his wedding.

[@janemimoza]

Thanks Chad for everything! I watched the video, I listened to the happy music and I danced non-stop! I started a new day with a lot of good cheer thanks to you! Wonderful!

[@susieq9801]

Just noticed Ronnie Barker (A hilarious comedian of the 2 Ronnies) on the left front and John Cleese (Basil Fawlty from Monty Python and Fawlty Towers and A fish called Wanda) the right front @7:51. While they weren't comedians themselves, the Gibbs hung out with and were accepted by a lot of them. Robin Williams and Robin did a skit on an airplane once and the passengers loved it! The premise of the cartoons was to promote cricket and good sportsmanship. With David English's participation here this would be a good time to react to "Songwriter's Workshop" with him and the Gibbs. (subtle hint) Robin also sang "Trash" on the Sesame Street Fever LP and took his kids to see big bird.

[@Zlata1313]

There's a great picture of Rob with Robin Williams on the internet. Yes yes to Songwriters Workshop, hilarious.

[@juanita6479]

Sure, agree with 'Songwriter's Workshop' and 'Trash' which was also mentioned in another comment, those two must be seen 😃

[@Zlata1313]

Q I forgot about the Two Ronnies show , they were hilarious. And in that Much More Music interview Rob said about Trash/Sesame Street Fever: "It was a triumph deluxe!"🤣🤣

[@debbienewton909]

Would have loved to see the 2 Robin's together!

[@juanita6479]

@@Zlata1313 I haven't listened to Rob speaking about Sesame Street, do you have the link 🙄

[@lt6134]

You might also remember David playing many characters in their video for This is Where I Came In. Thanks Chad!

[@patriciamcelroy3581]

David English is wonderful and a decades long friend of all the brothers but especially Barry. David is a hoot. Barry’s personal manager Dick Ashby confirmed a rumored story was true: Many years ago a small café in Miami was running a Barry look-alike contest. David was in town and heard about it and took Barry to the cafe. They walked up to the guy in charge but did not introduce themselves. David looked at the man and motioned toward Barry,”well, what do you think?” The man said, “Nope. Not even close.” 😂 Afterward David sent the man a note with a photo telling him that it was really Barry. 😂 David’s sense of humor fit right in with the Gibbs.

[@wisconsindoc3869]

Super fun reaction, Thank you!

[@eaccristo]

New to me. How adorable!!!

[@gaylaliles7983]

I had never heard these and know absolutely nothing about the "Bunberrys." Now, I have to read and research and listen again. Love the sound, especially the second one tune. The harmonies are fantastic. I have seen some videos of David English and Barry joking around, but didn't know who he was. Thanks Chad for this reaction. It was so much fun.

[@stephaniebuie2750]

First time hearing this. Fun songs!

[@bettyartis3648]

One word...charming! David English played in video for This is Where I Came In and songwriters workshop or something similar. He always said that the brothers were gifted comedians if given the chance. How could you not love the lads for always having a go and supporting charities like they did!

[@laurieshreffler5028]

Songs of innocence for charity! Love the way they brought together major artists for a childrens charity. David English was Barry’s best friend! They routinely did concerts and/or songs for childrens causes! Just another reason to love them!!!

[@jaynemorin747]

A very playful song! I love it. Thanks Chad 👍

[@tonielliott8659]

After I saw this yesterday Chad, I went to search KZbin and gosh it's there. The Bunbury Tails. And it's adorable. I really recommend it. Also I don't remember the interview but Robin was doing a morning showing talking about this book. Showing the bunny. Great show though

[@evedavis235]

The album was called the Bunbury tails and there’s a dvd of the cartoon series x

[@mujahidamin8504]

Glad you enjoyed them, Chad.

[@mariaterezaferrato1164]

Barry is the best songwriter and singer ever , and the most versatile. God bless them all for their charity works for those in need. Chad, fantastic reaction.

[@susanhunter7124]

Barry who? Robin co-wrote most of the songs. If you look at the facts, Robin did so much more for charities. Please tell me the many charities, and versatility Barry had that Robin did not posses. Thanks.

@@susanhunter7124 I think all 3 were involved in charities, starting with UNICEF, then the Love & Hope tennis charity for diabetes.

@@spudjohnsonn8122 Yes, but some more than others. Always give credit where it is due. We all have favorites, but give the twins their credit for their compassion, drive and love for others. Robin did so much for others while he was dying with cancer. He never bragged about himself, and patted himself on the back. Robin wanted to be recognized as a terrific songwriter. He certainly was!

Is songs a part of the book the Bee Gees wrote where they poked fun at themselves and others but everyone was an animal in the book. I believe it's going for a small fortune these days. Some day when I get rich and don't have to pay bills I'll get one. Fun music though.

[@paulcusumano9428]

This album also included “Up the Revolution,” which they sang with Elton John (great song) and “Fight” with their old friend Eric Clapton. The “Bunbury’s” were rabbits! Good guess. Great project.

[@gaylaliles7983]

Yes! Fight with Eric Clapton is an awesome song!

[@Scuderia_Fan]

I really enjoy these songs every time I hear these. I never saw anything of the Bunburies. A long time ago I got my hands on a bootleg album called 'Brother by others' witch excluded these songs. Some really great tracks on that album. It's a bit of a shame that it was never released as an official album. Anyway I enjoyed your reaction as always. Cheers!

Their friend David English wrote a children's book about cricket playing animals and it was made into a cartoon series. Bee Gees did the music for it and helped promote it. There was also an all star album, which was the last slide in the second song. Some of the cartoons are on KZbin. They are cute cartoons. Robin did a cute interview on Good Morning Britain 1986 you can find on KZbin. Another great reason to watch that interview is Robin's hair! David English was an President of RSO records. He is a very funny man but I don't think he was ever a professional comedian.

[@onenight0666]

His fussy hair!!! Great interview.

[@juanita6479]

You're right D, David was not a professional comedian but as he himself said about the brothers, if they were not musicians would have been wonderful comedians, well, that applies also to him, and the bond among all them is undeniable, seems that they spent very good time together, real friends.

[@francisxray9900]

Nice one Chad! There, you can also find a song called 'Fight (no matter how long it takes)', written by bros. Gibb, sung by Eric Clapton with Bee Gees in background. It's clearly mastersuited by them for Eric. So I have a request, maybe you can save some time (no matter how long it takes) to make a doublefeature of Eric's version and second from Barry's Mythology tour in 2014. There, his son Stephen sang 'Fight', together with his dad.

[@HeatherMyfanwyTylerGreey]

Robin did a promo interview on a British TV show with one of the Bunnies to promote this book for their charity. The bunnies were for sale too. Very amusing interview. It is on youtube. The link is kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJXYiJh9rMh3qrM

[@susieq9801]

Oops, my comment disappeared but others covered it since anyway. The calypso rhythm is so appropriate as this is Caribana weekend in Toronto, the Caribbean Festival. It's the largest cultural festival in North America and attracts millions. The parade with all the colorful costumes is amazing. They work on the costumes all year. I'm sure there are photos or YT videos of the parade. Well worth a look.
