For this week’s “120 Minutes” Rewind, we offer up this classic performance by Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper of their 1989 single “Debbie Gibson is Pregnant With My Two-Headed Love Child,” the video for which MTV refused to play, apparently out of fear of offending the teen queen. They let Nixon play the song on “120 Minutes,” but still wouldn’t let his sing the word “fornication” — check out the end of the first verse.
