Ah 'Blazing Saddles'. What a great film. May have to watch it again
now. So many classic scenes.

Yes, it's a famous quote, just not sure if the sample on SOJA extended
mix is it or not because it cuts off too soon. These things are
important to me!

Julian Cope quotes it in 'Julian H Cope' so any link between him and
KJ makes me happy, however tenuous.
