It’s not original with deGrasse Tyson, the line appeared in Forgetting Sarah Marshall (with playground), and I heard before that from some standup (Robin Williams?). Props to him for using it though.

The concept of the rock-guitar solo in the eightees has pretty much been reduced to: Weedly-weedly-wee, make a face, hold your guitar like it's your weenie, point it heavenward, and look like you're really doing something. Then, you get a big ovation while the the smoke bombs go off, and the motorized lights in your truss twirl around!" -- The Real Frank Zappa Book.
