The highly repetitive and ultimately boring nature of 99 Bottles of Beer means that only a small minority of renditions are actually carried to the final verse. Comedian Andy Kaufman exploited this fact in the routine early in his career when he would actually sing all 100 verses.[3] As was common in many of his sketches, Kaufman was deliberately provoking his audience in this routine once they realized that he actually intended to sing all of the verses. Catcalls, booing, and sullen silence were common responses. Toward the end of the sketch, Kaufman would feign recognition that the audience was not enjoying the material, and he would leave the stage with only 5 or 6 bottles to go. At that point, the audience would begin calling for him to return to finish the verses. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/99_Bottles_of_Beer#References_in_science
