Ironies surrounding the passing of Rodney Dangerfield

On the day he died, this was the joke of the day on his website:

"I tell ya I get no respect from anyone. I bought a cemetery plot. The guy said, "There goes the neighborhood!"

A family statement reports that when he died at 13:20, his favorite Frank Sinatra album was playing.
He died during the song "Come Fly With Me."

Here are the lyrics:

Come fly with me, let's fly let's fly away If you can use, some exotic booze There's a bar in far bombay Come fly with me, we'll fly we'll fly away

Come fly with me, let's float down to Peru
In lama land, there's a one man band
And he'll toot his flute for you
Come fly with me, we'll float down in the blue

Once I get you up there, where the air is rarefied
We'll just glide, starry eyed
Once I get you up there, I'll be holding you so near
You may here, angels cheer - because were together

Weather wise it's such a lovely day
You just say the words, and we'll beat the birds
Down to acapulco bay
It's perfect, for a flying honeymoon - they say
Come fly with me, we'll fly we'll fly away
