The Popsicle Twins

Last night, I was watching a Gameshow network show about Chuck Barris (about whom the excellent movie Confessions of a Dangerous Mind was made) and was reminded of the infamous Popsicle Twin act that I have heard may have played a part in helping get The Gong Show pulled off the air. (Look up "controversial acts" in the wikipedia entry for The Gong Show.)

In looking at the wikipedia entry, I see that some of the legitimate talent that appeared on The Gong Show was The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo, an awesome (!!!!!) musical band later known by a slightly shorter name, Paul Reubens, who usually goes under a somewhat different stage name ("Tell them 'Large Marge' sent you."), RuPaul, and Michael Winslow. (Actually, I vaguely remember seeing a clip with Michael Winslow on that show.)
