Favorite opera for story line. It's funny. But my favorite aria is Vesti la Giubba from Pagliacci. Bu it makes me mad that a man would claim such ownership of a wife that he'd kill just because he thinks he's been made a fool of by a cheating wife. Errrrr passes me off.

[TexasBushwhacker]

22. WANT to get up and dance? This came on at the grocery store

24. "Think" by Aretha - the Blues Brothers.

This is my all time favorite dance song. Every time I see the movie, generally about once a year, I get up and rock out hard to that tune. It is amazing!

Well Dressed Man and Leggs by ZZ Top are also great as dance - work out tunes.

[Figarosmom]

[BOSSHOG]
