Wayfarer-- I only wish I were crackly

Can anyone place the quote in the subject?

It's like this. I remember this quote, "We're a fun bunch," but I can't remember where it's a quote *from*. It could be from a book, a tv show, a movie, anything. This is extremely irritating to me because that one phrase and nothing else has been niggling at my mind and if I only knew the source...!

I think the context was along the lines of someone in a group talking to someone outside the group, asking something like 'Why don't you join us?' or 'Why don't you want to join us?'. It may have been sinister but then again maybe not.

A Fun Bunch Of Guys From Outer Space

(Ron & Russell Mael)

We're a fun bunch of guys
And we come from outer space
On the planet where we're from
War is even fun
We're a fun bunch of guys

We're a fun bunch of guys
Here to infiltrate and get a tan
We arrived here from the sky
On that cream pie parked outside
We're a fun bunch of guys

We're a fun bunch of guys
We speak English real good
On our T.V.'s in the sky
Your reruns come in fine
We're a fun bunch of guys

I don't think so... I've never heard that song before, and I think the quote was in dialogue.
