The Barry Gibb joke that broke the internet – Glastonbury has never been so much fun
Seriously ?

Yes. Please explain, preferably using more than one word.

You knock a guy for singing cover songs that were cover songs that he wrote…

Hey Gary, why not make yourself a brew, pull up a comfy chair, and read the thread. Or I’ll just give the condensed version: It’s a joke.
— Rachel Burns (@RachJBurns) June 26, 2017
Had you intended it as a joke there wouldve been some kind of hint at that-but there wasn’t as is clear by the replies on the thread I read
— Gary-Follow the Tao (@Le_Jackal) June 26, 2017
Here we go again…
— Rachel Burns (@RachJBurns) June 26, 2017
Oh go on then, one more.
Actually Rachel Take That covered his song

Thanks for pointing it out. I had no idea.
— Rachel Burns (@RachJBurns) June 26, 2017
No problem Rachel

By the way have you read the rest of this thread?
— Rachel Burns (@RachJBurns) June 26, 2017
Yes I have Rachel just saying what is true
— #Superstar (@YasminHartley74) June 26, 2017
Ok, thanks for clearing that up.

Twitter couldn’t get enough of the whole thing, and neither can we.

This is a great, silly joke, further elevated to brilliance by the replies. And the replies to the replies. https://t.co/gh85YI1RlQ

How much of the money Mr Gibb is paid for his performance has to go to the artists whose songs he is stealing?

I don’t give a fuck grow up

Ah, the joy of Twitter!
You can read all the threads – every, glorious one of them – here. @RachJBurns is already in discussion about selling the movie rights.

Yeah but what you need to bear in mind is that most of my tweets are about cats, quiz shows and #TheArchers.
