NOW YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE TO NOT HAVE SEEN IT. Unless you're blind, I guess. That's an excellent excuse for never having seen something.

The music is definitely Wagner. I have a cassette of four overtures and that's one of them. Mike Maltese just made it memorable by adding great words that have to be better than overly emotional German opera.

Oh man, even if you tried to translate Maltese's version into German, I bet you'd wind up with a bunch of words that are fifty syllables long each.

German is weird.

You have no idea how hilarious I find that.

Mainly the krössendressen part. It's so apt, and all.
