You took the German Translation Challenge: Winner says the Germans like my stuff

Thanks to all who responded via email with myriad German to English translations, varying dramatically in terms of precision.  The winning translation comes from Erika who has German friends in high and low places.   Here it is:

Ein Song über die Bee Gees von Dr. BLT [A SONG ABOUT THE BEE GEES BY DR. BLT] Dass Bee Gees Songs gecovert wurden und noch immer werden, ist nichts Neues. [It's nothing new that Bee Gees songs were and still are covered(?)]Da sind Überraschungen in jeder Hinsicht möglich (ohne die grässlichen und zumeist hochnotpeinlichen Bee Gees Cover Bands da mit einzubeziehen!), positive wie negative, interessante wie uninteressante.[It's possible to have surprises in every way (without dragging in the awful and mostly embarrassing BeeGees cover bands!), positive, negative, interesting and boring. 

Was andreres ist es allerdings, wenn ein Musiker einen Song über die Bee Gees schreibt. [But it's another thing when a musician writes a song about the Bee Gees.] Warum auch immer er das tut. [For whatever reason he does Der amerikanischen Musiker Dr. BLT hat auf seiner Webseite massenhaft Songs zum Anhören (und Kaufen), die allesamt mit Größen aus der Rock- und Popmusik zu tun haben, viele davon Eigenkompositionen, manches sind einfach Coverversionen. [The American musician Dr. BLT has lots of songs on his website to listen to (and buy), that are all about the greats of Rock and Pop music, many of which are his own compositions, some are simply cover versions.] 

Und natürlich hat er auch einen Song über die Bee Gees: Download. [And naturally, he also has a song about the Bee Gees: Download) Kategorien: Bee-Gees, Dr-BLT, Bee-Gees-Cover, Download, MP3 

Thank you, Erika.  And thank you, Germany, for making me the big star that I am (not) today!
