Bee Gees

"Spicks and Specks" is a song by The Bee Gees (chart positions: #1 Australia, #28 Germany, #2 Netherlands).

An instrumental version of the song is part of the soundtrack for Melody, which also featured several other Bee Gees songs.

Melbourne post-punk band The Shower Scene From Psycho recorded a version of the song in 1999 featuring their distinctive trash-pop electronic arrangements using Theremin, noise-producing toys and absurd samples.

A version of the song performed and produced by The Dissociatives is used as the theme song of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's music based quiz show Spicks and Specks (2005-present).

Status Quo covered the song on their debut album Picturesque Matchstickable Messages from the Status Quo.

The Puhdys song Wenn ein Mensch lebt has notable similarity to this song.
