He even made a (wordplay) pun with the word "Beatle" this year. He's also referenced "Boris <span>the</span> Spider", "Splish Splash", and "Walk the Llama, Llama". Most of his song references are from the oldies and classic rock eras, with that song from a 2000 Disney movie being an outlier.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">I looked up Charles Johnson on Wikipedia and couldn't figure out which Charles Johnson it was who did "The Ladder". It remains a mystery, much like the connection between the name "Danny" and headphones. And how Chris Henley relates to vanadium beats me. It's great that we now have all of the first twenty chemical elements, but the element name puns are among the hardest to crack.</div></div>
