Disturbing Similarities Between Pee-Wee’s ‘Large Marge’ and Red Sovine’s ‘Phantom 309′ [VIDEOS]

Did Pee-Wee Herman rip off an old 1967 Red Sovine tune to come up with the legend of "Large Marge" for the movie "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure?" The similarities are spooky. Does it really matter? No, but it's kind of fun to compare the two eerie stories. Watch and decide of Pee-Wee ripped off Red Sovine.

The premise shared by the two is simple; a weary traveler is picked up by a semi and provided with transportation to a local coffee shop. Upon reaching their destination, the hitch hiker learns the truck and its driver have been dead for years.

There you have it! Conclusive proof the estate of Red Sovine should be receiving royalties from the makers of "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure." That movie came out in 1985, so at this point, the movie probably only generates a few pennies a day in royalties. That's okay, since it unlikely the estate of Red Sovine is rolling in dough.
