    I recently watched a documentary on Sky here in the UK called The Bee Gees How to Mend a Broken Heart. A must for anyone who loves their music. They said they got the groove for this song when driving over a bridge on the way to the studio in Florida. The sound of the traffic on the bridge gave them the idea for the beat. That’s why it was originally called Drive Talking.

    Here's another fun fact for you, Jamel... When this song was first released, the Bee gees and their management were afraid it wouldn't get any airplay because at that time, the band was basically type cast by the stuff they did earlier in their career and they were out of vogue, so they sent the song out to radio stations with a plain white label. Jive Talkin' actually became a monster hit before anyone even knew it was the Bee Gees, and by the time the radio stations figured out who it was, the train was already rolling down the tracks.

    Here is a fun fact for you from Beegees.com
    Originally titled “Drive Talkin,” the song’s rhythm was modeled after the sound their car made when crossing Interstate 195 each day from Biscayne Bay to Criteria Studios in Miami, FL. The title was changed to “Jive Talkin'” after Barry accidentally sang “Ji-Ji Jive Talkin'” while recording. The song remained number 1 for a total of two weeks.
