So where does this bit of slang come from? I’ve seen it used in three different places in the last week or so.

A photographer talking about his model girlfriend: “I loves me some LeeLou.”

On a bass guitarist’s forum: “I loves me some grooving bass.”

Can’t remember the other one, but you get the idea.

It sounds to me like a catchphrase from a television show or commercial, but I don’t watch TV so I wouldn’t know where it started.

Anybody know?

I first heard it about ten years ago. The talk radio guy I listened to (John Rody on KLIF) used it frequently. I didn’t know where it came from before that.
