Well, it's supposed to be a parody. I've never seen the music for it so I don't know how it's marked up, but since it's P.D.Q Bach, performers can always take some liberties with his work. One of my favorite.. interpretations (I guess you can call it that?) is a video titled "Screaming Opera."

Very Very Good! PDQ leaves lots of room for interpretation. This is what makes the performances so much fun, and challenging. Screaming Opera is really a great version of this as well.

Here's a thought: get bent. You're only calling me names because you're embarassed that I called out your ineptitude. Go home, and leave the adults alone.

phew! It's hard to get everything PERFECT in a rehearsal. Never mind make mistakes ''just right'' in a practice. Hahaaa!

Oh...ok lol. Now i am confused, is a mock of My Bonnie Lass She SMILETH then? Like the whole thing staged?

If you were singing the right words, it would actually be really good. But this was just plain childish.

Thanks Cypress! I didn't realize the full potential of Matt's talent until I viewed the video! Paul

Man, that host either had a relative in the programming department or a briefcase full of 'compromising' photos. The kind of 'expert' that would kill any interest in a subject. All the charisma of a department store dummy. P.U. :p
