    If anyone's curious, the title is because the meta answer put this song in my head: https://youtu.be/VQeW62X8rEA?feature=shared

      Fun song, but do people anywhere actually throw a party on the day of someone's death? Hereabouts that party takes place some time later.

        Fun, thank you!

          First meta puzzle on here. Broke my brain for a minute before I saw what was going on. Fun!

              How bad was the movie of 2D? Loved her books as a kid. I really enjoy these metas. Thanks!
