in episode PIETA ,is the street kid quoting a song?


Loving watching all the episodes again on dvd.

This was mostly a great series,well acted,better production values than NCIS.

Anyway in the episode PIETA they meet a street kid who says to BOYD, "YOU WORK 9 TO 5 ,GET YOUR VIEWS FROM THE NEWS AND LIVE IN HEAVEN 24/7".

I think this is a quote from a song or film but I don't recognise it,anybody help.

Sounds like it may be a modification of the Vengaboys song 24/7: h

24/7 in my 911and I ain't gonna work a 9-2-5
24/7 in my 911 on a highway to heaven, it's the time of my life

They may have liked the song but didn't want to pay royalties, so changed it up. On the other hand, the song sounds a bit too cheerful to have been the inspiration for the boy's words in that scene. Perhaps there is no connection, but that is the only set of lyrics I could find when searching 24/7 and 9 to 5 LOL.

just saw your reply, thanks.

It might be where it came from.
