In the past, Pfeiffer has been known to perform an acoustic love song/tribute to a life sized cardboard cut out of Wayne Gretzky mid way through a Goldfinger set. The song Includes lines such as "Wayne Gretzky. I think he's kinda sexy, and maybe he'd be attracted to me; Darrin Pfeiffer, a stupid American boy. Wayne Gretzky; a handsome Canadian man."
