"New York Times Effect on Man"

Cafe Society

In the Bee Gees’ “Stayin’ Alive,” “we all try to understand the New York Times effect on man.”

So, what IS the New York Times effect on man? What was this song referring to? No single person or amount of googling has been able to answer this for me.

I think it’s ( url=http://www.mikefs.co.uk/heebeegeebees.ram ) meaningless.

Nobody understands it well enough to explain it to you or post it on the web. :wink:

It’s considered good manners to warn people when a link goes to an audio file instead of a normal (that is, HTML) Web page.

  1. Peter Morris, please don’t post links directly to sound files without a clear warning. I broke the link but left the URL intact.
  2. This is better suited for Cafe Society. Let’s boogie on over there.

Apologies for breaking forum rules.

On my own computer, clicking a link like this opens a dialog box, giving me the option to play, save to disk, or cancel. I just assumed it was the same for others. If anyone had it play automatically, then I am sorry.

Meaningless words, meaningless rhymes…
