Based on an insipid ditty in the Marx Brothers’ film “Horse Feathers,” which is repeated ad nauseam throughout the picture.

Frankenstein Sound Lab: You nailed it! The song ("Everyone Says I Love You") is introduced, straight, by Zeppo, mangled by Chico, picked up by Harpo who (if memory serves) plays it as an ode to a horse, then finally falls into Groucho's clutches, who sings: Everyone says I love you But just what they say it for I never knew It's just inviting trouble for the poor sucker who says I love you The thought here was that the only thing that could climax this descent into bathos would be for Zeppo, reappearing, to play a final refrain on the trombone. Which, of course, my little pastiche doesn't include among the instrumentation.
Hah, yes - Groucho in a boat on the river with his guitar...and the duck. Nice reworking.
