It is sung to the tune of "Humoresque," and I cannot hear that piece of music today without also hearing the rather raunchy words of the song in my mind. I guess this is a relative of "This is the symphony that Shubert wrote and never finished ...," or the verse and chorus of "Luminous pocket planetarium" sung to Chopin's Marche Militaire. So the classics are demolished ... Lotta Stallman AT&T Bell Laboratories ... mhuxh!hlhop!ljs
