Let's Get Into Trouble, Baby

With the passing of Don Cornelius, retrospectives on his life have been solely focusing on his television creation, Soul Train.
For me however, Don Cornelius will forever be associated with uber-cool and sleazy record producer Mo Fuzz in the cult classic Tapeheads. (forward to 2:22 unless you like Swedish hunks lip-syncing Devo). In Mo Fuzz, there is a standard for detached coolness that I secretly strive for to this day. "Let's Get Into Trouble, Baby" is my silent mantra.
On a side note: another cool icon in the same vien that made a impact in my psyche, would be Cesar Romero's character Duke Santos in the 1960 original version of Ocean's Eleven.
