Popular culture
In the beginning of the film 'Stripes', Bill Murray's character sings the line, "One of these days everything that I want's gonna be mine, But if it ain't that'll be alright as long as there's sunshine and a big ole brew." Since Stripes was released in 1981, he must have been quoting the original Amazing Rhythm Aces version from 1980.
