Programmers are a mischievous lot. They follow current events and other historical facts when planning their playlists.

For example, here's a link to an article about Frank Sinatra's 100th birthday. Within the article, there's a story about his singing the classic "New York, New York." A music programmer made an hysterical musical joke that almost nobody would get:

https://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/12/sports/baseball/how-new-york-new-york-became-a-no-1-at-yankees-games.html?action=click&contentCollection=Music&module=RelatedCoverage®ion=EndOfArticle&pgtype=article

You'll have to skim through the article but the joke was pretty funny.
