From _Blitz_ #23, 11/77:

  Mike McDowell:  I hope you know what I'm referring to, but would you
       consider George Gershwin a major influence?

  Ray Graffia:  You mean the fact that we stole 'Rhapsody In Blue'?

  MM:  Exactly!  Of course I'm thinking of the 'I Lie Awake' single.

  RG:  We sang 'Rhapsody In Blue' in the high school chorus, and we
       liked it enough to transform it into one of our own songs.
