The Digger Smolkin Medley was the sequence of songs played during Host Segment Four of Experiment #806 - The Undead. Mike, finding Smolkin's voice familiar, realizes that he owns a copy of a vinyl record album that Smolkin had recorded and he plays several selections for the 'bots.

The songs are all covers of popular music, with key words replaced by Smolkin's more macabre vocabulary.
