The Bee Gees' share overjoyed response to video of boys hearing 'Stayin' Alive' for the first time ever

A video of twins listening to the Bee Gees for the first time has gone viral, much likse earlier video of them listening to Phil Collins and Annie Lennox.

Tim and Fred Williams – identical twin brothers in their early 20s who live in Indiana – have a YouTube reaction channel where they post videos of themselves listening to well known songs for the first time.

A few weeks ago, they posted a video of themselves listening to Phil Collin’s 'In the Air', which went viral and even catapulted the song back into the iTunes charts.

Now, they’ve gone viral again – with a video of them listening to the Bee Gees for the first time.

In this video, they’re listening to 'Stayin’ Alive' – the classic 70s disco anthem. They react to the melody of the song, but also to the frontman of the Bee Gees, Barry Gibbs (the Bee Gees are also fronted by a pair of twins, Barry and Robbie Gibbs).

The Bee Gees even got in on the action – posting a clip from the video and saying that they’d pass on the compliment.

The twins publish videos under the moniker Twinsisthenewtrend on YouTube, often reaction videos which are up to 10 minutes long.

They post so many videos in a day that they didn’t even know they had gone really viral until days later, when a friend told them that their Phil Collins video got 1.7 million views in a week.

But people love them. This video of them listening to the Bee Gees has over 225,000 views.

They now have 600,000 subscribers – in January, they had 20,000. Other fans of their reactions include Dolly Parton, who tweeted a video of them listening to 'Jolene' for the first time, saying, “Jolene already stole these two.”

Alicia Keys tweeted about them too.

When asked why so many people like watching their videos, Tim suggested that it may be a combination of the fact that they’re young and they’re Black.

"It's just rare to see people open these days,” Tim told CNN. “People don't open to step outside their comfort zone and just react to music they don't know."
