Am I supposed to know whom this is?

His name is Taco Ockerse. He did a cover of Puttin' on the Ritz in the 80s. That's it, that's the whole joke. sigh I'll never get those 5 minutes back.

Wow, according to Wikipedia it's the name his parents put on his birth certificate the day he was born

You say that now, but some day you'll be at a social gathering with a bunch of GenX-ers and Boomers, and you'll need an anecdote that they will both relate to, in a way that won't infuriate either of them...and you'll have this particular musical trivia fact, in your back pocket.

You can go ahead and thank me, when that happens.
