no, that the joke was on me.
I started to joke.
Can I ask you a question?
What's that song about?
Well I don't want to give too much away.
But it's a very spiritual song, and it has a very personal feeling for me.
It was actually the melody was heard on a board of Viscount jetliner, over Germany.
And the melody was heard through the droning of the engines.
And that was, and then we all finished it and we got back on the ground again.
Next time I fly I'm listening to the engines, is what I'm gonna do.
We are gonna bring someone from the audience up right now.
Kim from Boston, are you here?
Kim, come on up, come on up.
Kim got selected by a random selection, that is so secret I have no idea how it happened.
Come on up Kim, come on up you get to meet the Bee Gees.
Come on out over here.
Hi Kim, by the way everybody, it's Kim's birthday.
So Kim say hi to the Bee Gees.
Hello Bee Gees.
Happy birthday Kim.
Thank you so much, I've been a fan all my life.
Thank you so much.
Happy birthday Kim.
Before this turns into an entirely different show, what do you want to hear?
Jive talking.
Jive talking.
Happy birthday Kim, come on with me.
