Perhaps he was visiting his hillbilly relatives (who live in a log mansion) again, and acquired a farmer’s tan?

Richie’s face always that healthy, youthful glow, but why are his hands and legs that color? Is he wearing gloves and matching leggings? And if so, why THAT color?

You are correct, sir. They were the Thamesmen when they at the time of Gimme Some Money.

Weren’t Spinal Tap still called “the Thamesmen” when they recorded “Gimme Some Money”?

Sorry for being off-topic but I have a House update for the regular readers here.

The schedule for the final three remaining episodes has been released by FOX. The next new episode will be Tuesday 1/29 (Ep. 410 “It’s a Wonderful Lie”). The Super Bowl special episode will be Ep. 411 “Frozen” (2/3 at 10 PM ET, or immediately following the conclusion of overtime). Then we get the final pre-strike episode the following Tuesday at its normal time on 2/5 (Ep. 412, Title not released). After that it’s off to hiatus-land.

Hope everyone here has been doing well. ;)

PS Thanks to Wikipedia for date information on Spinal Tap, their single Gimme Some Money and transistor radios.

Perhaps the doctor is hearing a “cha-ching, cha-ching” noise that the artist is graphically translating into dollar signs. It seems to alternate from big dollar sign to smaller dollar sign. Could that be some sort of Richie Rich heart murmur?

Or perhaps he has a small transistor radio and it is playing Gimme Some Money by Spinal Tap, but although the band formed in 1964, Spinal Tap didn’t put out that single until 1965. Perhaps it was a broadcast of a live performance of the song on a radio variety show before they cut the single of it a year later?

Like Neil Young, the doctor appears to be “Searchin’ for a Heart of Gold…”

Sort of. The band that became Pink Floyd was founded in 1964 as “Sigma 6″ but didn’t start calling themselves Pink Floyd (technically “The Pink Floyd Sound”) until late 1966/early 1967.

Pink Floyd were founded in 1964.
