Badass Digest recently uploaded this clip of The Pointer Sisters performing their hit “Neutron Dance” for a 1985 Disneyland TV special that has the trio backed by dancers in Tron suits. (Think about it and it will all make strange sense). I’ve watched this a few times, and each viewing makes me marvel a bit more at how wonderful the Internet is for keeping this kind of bizarro A/V flotsam and jetsam alive. It’s still not as wonderful as this — which actually predated Tron — but it’s damn close. Enjoy it, and just a reminder that Rob will be back in the morning to take care of your nerd news, humor and self-loathing needs.
