On the 1970 album "On My Way to Where" by Dory Previn -- who married André Previn in 1959 and divorced him in 1970 after he impregnated their friend Mia Farrow with twins -- there is a song about incest called “With My Daddy in the Attic.”
The lyrics include:
“And he’ll play / His clarinet / When I despair / With my / Daddy in the attic.”
Woody said that Dory -- who died in 2012 -- called him at the time of the molestation allegation to say “that’s where Mia got the story line for her concocted tale.”
For the uninitiated, the molestation allegation surfaced a mere 72 hours after Mia frantically begged a therapist to DO SOMETHING about Allen's affair with Soon-Yi and the therapist said nothing could be done. (Wanna bet?) The timing wouldn't pass muster in a fictional account.

Another song on the album was called “Beware of Young Girls,” which detailed how Mia had "done" to her what Soon-Yi did to Mia. (At least Dory didn't smack Mia the way Mia did her own daughter.)
The betrayal by Andre and Mia led to Dory's being hospitalized -- where she was treated with electroconvulsive therapy.
Perhaps the album should have been titled "With Friends Like These ..."
