   You may be right. I like that bit in Glengarry Glen R, when the old boy is   
   describing selling to the old poles.   
      
   Old Boy: ...We're sitting in the kitchen, he's got the *pen* out...we're   
   eating her *crumb cake*...   
      
   Young Man: Home made or store bought?   
      
   Old Boy: Store bought.   
      
   Young man: Fuck *her*

   It also sounds a bit like Sweet Home Alabama by the Skynerd. There's another   
   track out there by some forgettable bubble gum grunge band that rips Picture   
   Book right off. But hey, everybody owes something it just depends on the   
   level of art involed.   
      
   Cheers!
