Later on, Michael Stipe of REM wrote a song that shamelessly ripped off Suzanne, except it was about merging a human's DNA with a crocodile. He asked Peter Buck what he thought, and Buck said "it's great, but it was great when it was Suzanne too".
Aw come on. It's Suzanne by Lenny Cohen.
I don’t know how exactly we got on this topic, but there’s also an excellent Weezer song called “Suzanne.”

Edit: I guess it’s actually spelled “Susanne.”
