> the Soviet cartoon "Tridtstat vosem popugaev"

Thank you, Julianna. That's an intriguing possibility. Seksmisja attributes it to Slawomir Mrozek, so if the Russian cartoon were shown on Polish TV (there was a Polish version later in the 1980s) and Mrozek happened to see it on one of his visits during the height of the Solidarity period, he would still need to write it himself somewhere.

Thank you Jan. It probably needs to be exactly the same. A Polish bank used "... jutro to dzis -- tyle ze jutro." ("... tomorrow: that's today, except that [it's] tomorrow.") in a TV spot about two years ago, and it found itself dealing with Mrozek about copyright.

Thank you both for your help.
