Steve Martin's character Rigby Reardon had a similar trigger, the words "cleaning woman", in his film noir homage Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid . </P> <P> Milton Berle's performance of this routine was played on the Dr. Demento radio show several times using the trigger word "Buffalo". </P> <P> The lyrics of Native Love by the drag singer Divine are based on this routine, along with Don't Call Me Dude by eclectic thrash metal band Scatterbrain . </P>
