LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Paging Owen Wilson. Steely Dan wants an apology.

The veteran group behind such jazz-rock hits as "Rikki Don't Lose that Number" says Wilson ripped off its Grammy-winning tune "Cousin Dupree" for his title role as a slacker in the new comedy "You, Me and Dupree."

"I have never heard the song 'Cousin Dupree' and I don't even know who this gentleman, Mr. Steely Dan, is," the Wedding Crashers star snickered in a statement. "I hope this helps to clear things up and I can get back to concentrating on my new movie, HEY 19."
