I stumbled across this on youtube while looking for the Tom Paxton song on the same subject. While I don’t normally post such links*, this one is too good to pass up.
*Swear to God, I originally typed “kinks.” Just blame my injured wrist!
Bwahahahahaha! That was brilliant. That just pushed the Bee Gees way ahead of the Beatles in my eyes.
Must be old, didn’t Maurice die a couple years ago.
More than a couple - he passed in 2003.
Ten years after the infamous detachment
Yup, just went and looked that up. What’s odd, is that I’m not a BG’s fan at all. I know a handful of songs, but that’s about it. Stayin’ Alive, Jive Talkin’ etc…I’m 30, so they were never on my stations.
But for some odd reason I still remember where I was when I heard he died. I think more then anything I remember where I was because of the trivia I learned at the same time. His name (which I didn’t know at the time), though spelled Maurice, is pronounced Morris. To this day, people get really weird when I pronounce it ‘correctly.’ But I think that’s because I have a habit of correcting people. Even when I dig up interviews of him being introduced that way, they don’t believe me. I guess now, I’ll be able to show him saying his own damn name.
The Bee Gees actually recorded that for a Howard Stern pay-per-view special at least 10 years ago.
I remember that, during that special, Stern offered Bobbit a lot of money to show everyone his penis live on the air, but Bobbit turned him down. Not that Bobbit had moral qualms or was easily embarrassed- he did a little porn later on.
The '90s were so much more hilarious than the '00s.
