The "Sad Sax Man" is a parody of
Sergio 'Sexy Sax Man' Flores, right down to his thin black suspenders over his bare chest, tight black leather pants, and ample mustache and mullet. Flores was known for starring in a viral video in which he would spontaneously, loudly and repeatedly play the saxophone solo from George Michael's "Careless Whisper" in inappropriate locations, such as convenience stores, restaurants, shopping malls, classrooms, etc.
