[Click here](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYq05-RAhyg&feature=related). 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. ---

> [@Tengu](#): > > More than a couple - he passed in 2003. 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.
