[edit] Namesake band

There's a note at the bottom of the article stating that the band They Might Be Giants takes their name from this movie. That's not entirely true, here's a relevant blurb from the TriviaTrivia page at This Might Be A Wiki:

The band obtained the name from the movie indirectly; Raoul Rosenberg, ventriloquist friend had procured the name from the film for his own act, and discarded it. John & John liked the name so They asked him if They could use it.

I'd like to edit the mention in the article to be more accurate, but I'm not sure how to do so without being overly wordy, so I figured I'd drop the note here and let someone with better editing skills than myself have a go at it. - Ugliness Man 19:35, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
