Hi Ian,
Didn't know that one. Nick Jr, eh?
The phrase is currently commonly used in Frank Cho's "Liberty
Meadows" newspaper comic.
I believe it was also used in an old newspaper comic featuring
characters named Maggie and Jigs, but I wasn't able to verify
that quickly. [Ah! The strip was called "Bringing Up Father"
and ran from 1913 to May of 2000.]
Couldn't find any 'phrase history' sites containing this phrase
... and least not in a quick search.
Wikipedia says it's from pop music going back to the 50's.
Anybody else have info on possible origin?
RonL.

;-) We really need to come up with some kind
of point system for the threadjacking game.
