It's referenced all over the place, all the time... on TV shows and everything. Wyclef remade it... didn't Coolio do so too? (of course, that's all ancient history for them too)

Mt parents didn't play Bing Crosby records when I was a kid, but I got Bing Crosby references even when I didn't really know who he was because they permeated the entire culture. I knew a lot of 1940s references without fully understanding them because of WB cartoons... and TV was still running reruns of old shows from the 1950s at that time.
