Owen Wilson responds to allegations the concept for You Me and Dupree was stolen from a Steely Dan tune.

The band recently posted a letter on its Web site claiming (somewhat impishly) that Wilson's Dupree character was based on their Grammy-winning song, "Cousin Dupree," about a couch-hopping houseguest.

In a statement released by his spokeswoman, Ina Treciokas, Wilson said: "I have never heard the song 'Cousin Dupree' and I don't even know who this gentleman, Mr. Steely Dan, is. I hope this helps to clear things up and I can get back to concentrating on my new movie, 'HEY 19.' "

Larry Solters, a spokesman for the band's management company, did not immediately return a call for comment.
