    No I've never heard that version. Here's a link to a "sample" of the song, scroll down to "Listen to Samples":

    As far as rock lyrics go, You're right about a lot of thought having to go in it...and Frank Zappa has to be in a whole separate category !!!:hihi:.

    Whew...for a minute there I thought you were referring to:

    (still pretty amazing though. My wife and I had our very first date to the New Orleans opera)

    I guess I'm seriously out of the musical closet so to speak. My name is Steve...and I'm an Opera-holic. And it all began at LSU trying to get extra credit in Music appreciation class.

    I went to La Boheme, probably the greatest love story of all time that portrays aspects of male/female relationships that all of you have experienced in your lives. It's a story about love at first sight that develops on one hand into a perfect, pure love but on the other hand develops into a jealous, possesive obsessive relationship that ends up being so destructive that it results in the type of physical sickness that ends in the eventual death of one of the lovers.

    When I was in grad school at the University of Oklahoma (before I met my wife) I told the story of La Boheme to my girlfriend who was a farm girl from outside of Enid around a campfire on some sand dunes overlooking the Red River near Madill while camping out. When I got to the part where the man (Rodolfo) had finally matured and begged for his true love (Mimi) to forgive him and allow him to return to her and they reconciled to finally become one together only to see her die right before his eyes and then run off screaming her name... she began sobbing uncontrolably.

    It was a real "Who's your daddy?" moment.

    The Opera is great, if you can get past the foreign language, and learn what's happening ahead of time so you can understand what's actually happening. Besides, deep down inside....Chicks dig it !!!



    Now back to Rock!!
