I can only guess that it come from the game "Duck, Duck, Goose", which is really easy to remember if you played it as a child.

Must be a US-centric cultural thing -- I always thought this was just a random sequence of words the creators thought would be memorable and / or cute!

I thankfully watched the Simpsons, where that game was referenced once. So I got the pun after only a year or so.
