Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, of the popular 70's band "Steely Dan", addressed a humorous letter to Owen Wilson's brother, Luke, on their blog with claims that the idea of "You, Me and Dupree" was stolen from their song, "Cousin Dupree". (Lyrics to "Cousin Dupree" can also be found on their website.) Only the name Dupree, and the possibility that Cousin Dupree and that Wilson's character Dupree both may have slept on a couch seem to be the only common links in their claims. Owen Wilson replied to this fact saying "I have never heard the song 'Cousin Dupree' and I don't even know who this gentleman, Mr. Steely Dan, is. I hope this helps to clear things up and I can get back to concentrating on my new movie, "HEY 19" (which is the title of a Steely Dan song).
