I believe Pierce Brosnan's James Bond came up with that one while getting to know another tongue or some such 007ish quip.

First time I recall hearing that line was on Deep Purple's Perfect Strangers album from back in '84 or '85 or something.

Me too, and it was '84, October I think. They eventually dragged their world tour to Knebworth on June 21st 1985, their only UK date on that tour - captured live on the "In the Absense of Pink" double album.
