The misheard lyrics (scroll down) of O Fortuna (video).

Including the immortal line, "This octopus! Let's give him boots! Send him to NORTH KOREA!" Damn catchy, I say.


(I told my brother the opera singer that, being nearly deaf, this is rather how I hear the world most days. A hearing aid helps, but sometimes you're still left wondering what that poor damn octopus did to get himself exiled, booted, to a dictatorship...)

For some reason, O Fortuna seems to be a favourite for this kind of thing. There's loads of creative subtitltes for it on YouTube.

I'm just glad somebody was thoughtful enough to write a song about a fish we usually think of simply as a food animal.
