Good one. Sid & Nancy was a frequent home video rental for the suburban teenage punks that my wife and I hung out with in high school, loved seeing the references to that. (We weren't married yet though, that took about another 7 years.)
My first Pink Floyd album was Ummagumma, which had some vestiges of Syd Barrett's songs on it, even if Syd himself was out of the picture, but discovering Piper at the Gates of Dawn years later was a sheer delight. Bike is one of my fave songs on it (my best friend's brother was named Gerald, which made it extra funny), but later I stumbled across Fortran 5's "Sid Sings Syd" with the words of British comedian Sid James edited together to fit the lyrics to Syd Barrett's Bike. Nutty!

Roy Clark played "Malaguena" on an episode of "The Odd Couple" that aired 50 years ago today -- Valentine's Day 1975. Cued up here: https://youtu.be/ilm2qeJndWo?si=L83T35N1C2LZwTfR&t=340
I knew he played it on The Odd Couple. I didn’t know it was 50 years ago today. That’s crazy!
