Reply to comment by kgunnar in TIL the term “cloud cuckoo land” goes back to the Ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes, who used it for a utopian city of birds in his farce, the Birds by Mr_Westerfield
Sounds more like an obscure literary reference that comes up occasionally

Nah, it come up every now and again like "cloud 9" or "timbuktu" or whatnot. Just an idiomatic expression.
