Vonnegut's book doesn't have much in common with this song. Richard Ashcroft references it though with the phrase 'so it goes'. Vonnegut quite annoyingly and ballistically uses this phrase every time he touches on the subject of death in slaughterhouse 5. Way to knock a tack in with a sledgehammer Kurt.... Ashcroft on the other hand deals much more with understatement. He isn't at all tempted to 'explain the punchline' over and over.
