What is with the “Gene Gene the dancing machine” reference? I used to love him and the Unknown Comic.
He died last week, and that was his theme song:

I just heard the news about him dying on NPR radio today, I recalled seeing the playlist and asking you about it, and wondering why NPR was so behind the curve. Did you have inside info?
The news broke late Saturday night, so shame on NPR for dropping the ball!
