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 Stayin' Alive: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4fOc5djjLKtkNk 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]

Thank you for sharing your spooky stylings with us again this year!! 🐺 🧛🏻 These are amazing and I can’t wait to listen on repeat with all of my (definitely human) friends! Happy Halloween!!! 🎃 🍬 🐈‍⬛

My favourite part of this incredible performance is the narrative implying that the townsfolk are hunting the wolf not for crimes of murder, but just for dancing so vigorously each full moon

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

It was a crime of passion.

"Its hard to bear" - very relatable line for the average wolf. They are not convincing at being ursine at all.

[@shiningfennec2360]

Hahaha I've thought of the same thing

[@NeonProdigy]

And yet in Old English, a nickname for a Bear was a Bee Wolf (which is where Beowulf's name comes from), so while all Wolves are not Bears, all Bears are Wolves I guess.

[@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth]

@@NeonProdigy| "Bee Wolf..." would that have meant "Big Wolf?" If so, I suppose I understand the logic. The word "wolf" probably originally referred to any fanged beast that stalked the woods. You wouldn't bother trying to classify it as it mauled you, after all.
