I could have gone my entire life not knowing this.

I’m glad I didn’t have to!

Aldebaran’s great, okay,
Algol’s pretty neat,
Betelgeuse’s pretty girls will knock you off your feet
They’ll do anything you like
Real fast and then real slow,
But if you have to take me apart to get there,
Then I don’t want to go.

It’s a rather nice bombastic (like so much of Wagner) tenor piece that goes on to a duet with his love interest/twin sister Sieglinde (soprano).

Daves love of operas was the icing on top of this comics evil-cliche-cute girl with guns- and ur-gerbil cake. (Such cake is loaded with calories, of course, but who *really* cares?)Daves abject terror at the prospect of being named wrong is the cutest thing ever by the way. And I always thought that ‘Dave *Dave*nport’ was kinda a forshadowing of his eventiuall importance to the Dave society. I mean, he;s Dave TWICE people! More than twice your average Dave.I firmly beleive in th epower of names. All Daves are. . . Daves. All Arties are cute and intelectiuall, and all Andrews(not andy) are crazy.May

But then, Narbonic is already enough of a situation comedy that such a name is only fitting…
