I get the reference but I believe that it does break the flow of the story if it was put there just for reference.
Not really sure if it broke it, or was pivotal.
Did we work out when the radio waves from the first transmissions of the Mickey Mouse Club reached the borders of Loroi Space?
If so, singing that song ties him to something that might send shock waves through the Loroi.
Although it was for children, the Mickey Mouse Club was educational, especially through Jiminy Cricket Presents, touching things like Evolution of the Human Being (You are a Human Animal) and Human Biology.

Something I believe would be a cold wet slap to the face of the Loroi.
(Oh look! They look like us, but evolved and were not put there by Percussors...)
I might be completely off track with this, but it might explain the sudden and odd reaction of all the main characters on the bridge in pages 90 - 91, especially if they were worried about the Umiak knowing of it, and I believe their commanders comm line was still open at least partway through Alex's recital.
