Glad you liked it.
The song is from an episode of The Simpsons. The ep was a parody of 101 Dalmations (though some elements, such as this song, obviously parody other Disney films).
The idea... I don't know. It just came to me one day. Best explanation I've ever found for it was an Isaac Asimov story in which it was revealed that the Earth is a giant Petri dish for alien scientists, and that (in much the same way as we play around with bacteria to see what'll happen) they inject humor into certain individuals as part of some grand experiment. So when you hear one of those great jokes that goes around but that no one ever claims to have authored ("Where'd you come up with that?" "Oh, I must have heard it somewhere or other, I don't really remember..."), it's because the experimenters subtly dropped the idea into one or more peoples' minds.
It would also explain why C_A and I apparantly both had the same seemingly very random idea.
Or maybe it was just an Idea whose time had come. Who knows?
