Is it just me, or are the Bonzos referenced in Glass Onion.

The film Glass Onion references not only the Beatles song of the same name, but other songs from the White Album.

The first time we meet Ed Norton's character he is playing Blackbird on a guitar.

The Beatles themselves were on very good terms with The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, Paul McCartney produced some of their studio albums, and they are the only band, other than the Beatles to play in a Beatles film.

They are the band playing in the strip club in Magical Mystery Tour.

One of the Bonzo's songs is called Big shot, it's a parody of the all American action hero so prevalent in cinema at the time.

In the song the eponymous character meets a woman at a party and delivers the line "Whisky, wow wow."

In the film there is a character called Whiskey, and when Ed Norton meets her, he delivers the line, "Whiskey wow."

I know it's a bit of a stretch, but I have never heard the phrase whisky wow wow,or anything similar anywhere else until watching that film.

@izzythepush,

I am the Big Shot.
You heard me right the first time, name of bachelor, Johnny Cool.
Occupation:big shot. Occupation at the moment:just having fun.
What a party that was, the drinks were loaded and so were the dolls.
I narrowed my eyes and poured a stiff Manhattan, then I saw... Potsy.
What a dame, a big bountiful babe, in the region of 48-23-38. One hell of a region.
She had the hottest lips since Hiroshima, I had to stand back for fear of being burned.
'Whisky-wow-wow', I breathed; she was dressed as Biffo the Bear.
In that kind of outfit, she could get rolled at night...
And I don't mean on a crap table.

'It's kind of revealing, isn't it?'
'Revealing? It's positively risqué, I like it.'
She said, 'You're the man of a thousand G's, right?'
'A thousand what?', I quipped,
'Why, G-man, girls, guns, guts... You're my type'
'Wrong, baby!', I slapped her hard, 'I'm an L-man. Strictly liquor, love and laughs'
She stared over my shoulder. 'Play it cool, Johnny.'
'Play it what?', I flipped. 'Listen, I fought my way up from tough East-Side New York. Lead-filled socks and sub-machine guns. Like this!'

She said, 'Johnny this is a deadly game, have a few laughs and go home.'
I shuddered. Normally I pack a rod in pyjamas; I carry nothing but scars from Normandy Beach.
I said, 'Wrong, baby, you can't fool me.'
She spat playfully. 'I'm ahead of you, Johnny.'
I studied the swell of her enormous boobs and said,
'Baby, you're so far ahead it's beautiful!'

'You, you are, you're eccentric, I like that.'
'Electric, Cherie, bonk off my rocker, tu comprends?' We spoke French fluently.
Our lips met again and again, 'Yeah yeah yeah,' I slobbered.
Hotsy said, 'You're slobbering all over the seat, kid.'
I went home, late. Very late.
What could I say to my wife? 'Darling, I've been beaten up again'?
Let's face it, she's credulous as hell.
A punk stopped me on the street. He said, 'You got a light, mac?'
I said, 'No, but I've got a dark brown overcoat.'
