What I remember is a bit about how Fricka is put out, its not enough that Wotan has Erda for his trollop, shes got to put up with all those shrieking Valkuries on horses dragging bloody corpses about her house.
I can't watch too much of it at once - my ribs hurt from laughing too hard.
I have a friend who is a Wagner fiend .. . I have to make her watch this!

Thank you for the link. I also watched all three parts, and it is one of the funniest routines I have ever seen. Thanks!
Why her? Why not Babs???
I just watched all three parts. I shall have to buy the CD
Rest in peace Anna.
You know, of course, that now I am going to have to do a Gilbert & Sullivan song parody. Maybe something from the Mikado.
"I've got a little Liszt.
I've got a little Liszt.
Some Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, too.
I've got a little Liszt."
Believe it or not, Cosima Liszt, Franz Liszt's daughter, had three chilren by Richard Wagner (Isolde, Eva and Siegfried) while still married to Hans von Bülow. She later married Wagner who was 24 years her senior. I'm not making this stuff up you know.
Well, I did make up the little ditty above but not the stuff about Liszt and Wagner.
