Rich Hall, Stephen Fry and others in “Unfinished Business”

[About Cruithne, assumed to be Earth's second moon]

Who comes up with this shit? So you're telling me there's a second moon?

There... I am!

"Blue moon, I saw you standing alone." Not "with a small friend."

So why is there, uh... why is there not one romantic song with the word "Cruithne" in it? Why not "Blue Cruithne of Kentucky," or "Cruithne River," or--

No one can see it--

BECAUSE IT WAS DISCOVERED IN NINETEEN-NINETY-[bleep]-FOUR!

9 years! 9 years to write a romantic song with the word ‘Cruithne’ in it.

In the last 9 years, no romantic songs, as far as I know, have been written at all. Have they?

Bryan Adams wrote one.

Oh, please!

‘Everything I Do, I Do It For Cruithne?’
