Neither really - it was just something I thought I remembered from a film or a book - seemed a bit Stephen King-ish.

A bit of Googling shows that it is in fact a slightly garbled version of a couple of lines from a Pet Shop Boys song, but as I've never been a fan of them I doubt I ever heard it there.
