I was giving Bob Dylan's "Highway 61 Revisited" a listen for the first time, and one of the lyrics that stood out to me was a line from the song "Ballad of a Thin Man";
Anyway they already expect you
To just give a check
To tax-deductible charity organizations.
It sounded eerily familiar. I finally figured out I'd heard it first in this song. I think the choice of words is way too similar to simply pass of as coincidence. Also, a little later in that same verse of Dylan's song is the line:
You've been through all of
F. Scott Fitzgerald's books
You're very well read
Which I thought was kind of interesting considering considering @cryinpoet's comment, though I haven't read that novel.
