Talking Heads reference in Animal Crossing GCN - game4brains - 09-24-2020
In the English localization of Animal Crossing for the GameCube, one of the phrases a villager with the "normal" personality type can say when being woken up from a nap is "this is not my beautiful house, [catchphrase]!" A video showcasing the phrase in action can be viewed here (at 0:52):
The phrase appears to be a nod to "Once in a Lifetime", a song by American post-punk group Talking Heads. Originally included on their 1980 album Remain in Light, the song includes the lyrics "and you may tell yourself, 'this is not my beautiful house!' And you may tell yourself, 'this is not my beautiful wife!'" The song's music video, which includes the lyric, can be seen here:
