I originally thought the lyrics of "Perfect Day" by Lou Reed were "You're going to reap, just watch yourself!" and it was meant as a sort of thread, like Watch Your Back!!
It was after a few years I realised that it's actually "You're going to reap just what you sow" which makes more sense but isn't as funny.
