[edit] Cultural references
In the 1998 film The Big Lebowski, this song plays when Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski is in a cab after Malibu's police chief orders him out of town. Being very worn out and not liking the Eagles (as he is a major Creedence Clearwater Revival fan), The Dude angers the cab driver after requesting him to change the station. After The Dude complains some more, the cab driver pulls over and forces him out of the cab.[citation needed]
[edit] Trivia
- This song was written about the women of San Diego, California.
- The last few verses were written in the parking lot of Der Wienerschnitzel at the corner of First and Washington in San Diego. [1]
