"I Can't See Nobody" is a song by the Bee Gees, released first as the B-side of "New York Mining Disaster 1941". With "New York Mining Disaster 1941", this song was issued as a double A in Germany and Japan, and included on the group's third LP, Bee Gees' 1st. "I Can't See Nobody" charted for one week at number 128 on the Billboard Bubbling Under the Hot 100 in July 1967.[2]
It was written by Barry and Robin Gibb[3] in 1966 towards the end of the family's time living in Australia. Maurice Gibb has sometimes been listed as a co-writer for the song, most notably on the compilation Bee Gees Gold. According to Nat Kipner, the song was recorded at St. Clair Studios. Robin has said that it was written in Brisbane, Australia, where the band toured in November 1966, but that the first version was not released.[4]
At the Bee Gees' 1st sessions, this song was recorded on 7 March, with remixing and overdubbing on 13 March.[5] Robin sang lead on the verses while all three brothers featured on the chorus.[6] Robin's voice on this track was higher than the other songs on the album, especially on the line Don't ask me why.
