Hmm, from the internet quotes I highly suspect someone has been on FR. Someone is also enjoying a booming t-shirt business with one particular quote I'm very familiar with.

Damn! Teddy Bears with a simple, yet touching/controversial message. This guys gonna make a tidy sum on this. Wish I had thought of it sooner.

Best Lyric ever:

"Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is
To see you"
