Welcome to the terrifying world of fangs, fur, and very large medallions. It's Bee Dee Gee's Hee Bee Bee Gees. stream on Spotify: open.spotify.com/album/0GOWf73AODnueap6qkvsOJ?si=7L6aAER3TqiNeUDO2jNhZg watch Tragedy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIS9eJ6hbdOYfsk Only two songs this year (thanks to a certain health insurance video), which was quite painful due to my love of the Bee Gees and the fact that they made so many perfect songs for Halloween, but I hope you enjoy them nonetheless.

[@michaelahuss2123]

Thanks so much for creating these masterpieces to the whole HEE BEE BEE GEE Crew: Jonah Scott, Karen Han, Kevin Porter, and of course BDG! (or should it be BEE DEE GEE?) These ghoulish tunes are good enough to make every month spooky season. Happy Halloween all! 🎃 🦇 🧛🏻

While it’s hard to not get distracted by the fabulousness BDG is radiating in this video, has anyone else made notice of the story going on in the music video itself? I’ve yet to see a comment talking about the story. From what I can tell, it’s a tale of one succumbing to impulses that lead to reckless decisions during a time of distress. There is also a theme exploring the topic of dependency within this video’s narrative. The video begins with the sound of Vampire Brian (VB) weeping and a shot of a break up letter accompanied by polaroid pictures of VB and Karen being adorable together. As a means of processing the grief of this break up, VB decides basically “Fuck it. I’m putting on my snazzy clothes, strutting through the city streets and dancing my sadness away.” It’s during the dancing scene when the random dude shows up that we witness VB succumbing to impulses and presumably lethally sucks the random dude’s blood. Which, considering the cinematography and editing of the dance scene after the blood consumption, succumbing to his impulse makes complete sense. Drinking blood from the tap seems to have intoxicating effects. VB seems like he’s in a euphoric high. But of course, the high has to end. And so we see that crash back to reality in the last scene of the video. Lights turned on, covered in the blood of his vices and sipping from the non-intoxicating blood of a blood bag. The biggest tragedy of it all being that VB’s drinking of the random guy’s blood (or perhaps more accurately the drinking of the random guy’s life) is the very thing that led to the break up. Part of the reason for the break up as described in the break up letter from the very beginning is because VB was sucking the life out of Karen. The consumption of a person’s life, the high from imbibing, the regret and sorrow after the crash and trying to cope with the regret and sorrow. If the narrative of this music video is any indication, Vampire Brian tends to maladaptively cope by restarting the cycle and consuming another person’s life. Or maybe I’m full of shit. It’s 3 in the morning, I’m half asleep and I’m typing a mini essay in a KZbin comment for a Halloween theme parody song of disco classics. It’d be nearly miraculous if this comment makes any sense to me once I’ve gotten proper sleep.

This is low-key a masterpiece, I am LIVING for Brian's falsetto

[@pyro-millie5533]

Why the F U C K is this so absurdly well produced!?!?! Like holy shit! This actually goes way harder than the orinal!! Excellent!!!

[@cm4688]

When you hate being alive but you remember Brian might do these every year. Bless.

[@adfaklsdjf]

hang in there, buddy

[@Sudo_Nimh]

Yeah 🫠

[@SharkSalesman90]

I guess you're trying to 'stay alive' sorry

[@bratman5096]

Ah-ha ah-ha ah-ha Hatin' my life Hatin' my life Livin' as a zombie Nobody Helps me Yeah It aint alright, it aint ok Heyyyyy I'M DEPRESSED, YEA-E-AHHHH

[@thaliairis]

I hope this is now a yearly tradition because you always put out BANGERS

[@Teletheus]

Others have already commented on the incredible attention to detail throughout the song *and* the video, but I don’t think I’ve seen anyone specifically mention the musical allusion/reference to the stabbing strings from “Psycho.” (You can hear it faintly fading in and then right back out in the background, between “somebody help me” and “somebody help me, yeah.”)

[@MisterAwsome1234]

Brian does a scarily good job at pulling off the Disco Vampire look.

[@nathanhudelson1834]

I can't get over the mirror bit at 2:25. So well made!

[@ghostsoffishandcrows7341]

+++++

[@Nannada1212]

Yo, I missed that cuz I was dancing too hard. Such a brilliant idea and then amazing editing to pull it off

[@JacksonKillroy]

the towel pull really sells it

[@ToriKo_]

How??

[@Nannada1212]

@@ToriKo_ I'm no expert, but my thought is that they chose that angle very carefully so he could record it from there without him appearing in the mirror until he interacts with it. So then it's a matter of editing out one shot's mirror where he appears into one where he doesn't. That, or maybe more likely, they had the shot planned out so well that Karen shot it the exact same way with and without Brian and then they just mixed the two shots together.

[@Add_Infinitum]

Every time Brian sings he surprises me with how darn good at it he is

[@coolertheory8893]

2:38 - onwards is giving what we do in the shadows season promotional photos

[@johnperivolaris6447]

0:22 God, I love that transition.

[@efbless]

The off-beat reaction "ahhs" at 1:55 are so perfect

[@Iwantstuff]

We can all appreciate BDG's singing, but these arrangements are just as incredible

[@joedyisonfire4903]

UM HELLO VOCALSSSSSS???? It doesn’t sound like a parody of the style, which makes the whole parody even better, because it genuinely sounds like the real thing. He’s so good with this style, the range is insane.

[@djcatilian3497]

petition to get bdg into a future season of what we do in the shadows because this energy in that setting.... effervescent

[@lim_pim2965]

I’m in shock how perfectly Brian’s voice fits this song and how good he sings it

[@slugbones]

Not only is this hilarious but its a very amazing cover of Staying Alive in general. You guys crushed this. I would listen to this on an album.

[@kaylinjackson1086]

It's already on Spotify!

[@tylerquillen7009]

Brian is a force of nature purely on account of the sheer charisma and creativity he puts into everything he makes

[@-Sheva-]

Brian is the person that everyone wishes they were

[@mkaydriggs5673]

That this was shot/edited in the 4:3 aspect ratio is the kind of attention to detail that makes BDG an absolute legend

[@alanaktion]

I wish I had like 3% of Brian’s charisma. Any more would be too much.

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

I think I could handle about 1.5% of his charisma.

[@subliminallabs]

BDG has a KILLER falsetto!

[@ThEEv1LBuTtBUtTOn]

if i had a nickle for every time brian david gilbert made a fucking slammer of a song while dressed as a ridiculously attactive vampires, i wouldnt have nearly enough nickles

Awesome, thanks for that!

You truly are doing god’s work. Thank you greatly.

[@JiroTheFro]

I love this. I had AHHH!BBA on repeat last year for a good few days and this is a great addition to the family of Halloween covers. That walk is immensely powerful

[@Huckslay]

With Brian's skills, we will have more Halloween themed songs than Christmas songs.

[@cuddlefishbandit]

This gives me so much joy. I danced so hard when this came out I thought I threw a spinal disc out of alignment or something. Totally worth it, though.
