Netti Fretti

[Italian Singing]

[Radio DJ]

You are tuned in to WQED Classical 89.9 on your FM dial. The time is now 3:15. We just heard 'Netti Fretti Con Volante', written in 1899 by the renowned Scotch-Italian composer Shamus Vitilago, preformed by the choir St. Martin-in-the-Field in Minnesota. DJ Bullshit conducting, this was recorded just last year, in Minnesota. Not much is known about Shamus Vitilago; he was well renowned, but mostly for his antics, for his theater. He was a midget, peg-legged drunkard who toured incessantly with the circus, and also had an unparalleled ear for dissonance and atonality. He lead a strange life and suffered an equally strange fate. He was beaten to death by the painter Caravaggio in 1899 after debuting the song we just heard now. The litelul- litera- excuse me... literal translation for which follows as such:

[?]; This whore has rescued me, necrophilia can wait

[?]; My madness explains its need to kill

[?]; Us on her bed, her godless bed, begin our gruesome exchange

[?]; A burning net with wings is what love is

And the chorus of the song, that magnificent sweeping chorus:

[?]; I pull out on the brink of unconsciousness and spackle Gena with my ejaculate

Bold images. Strong, strong images, wonderfully sung. The song was dedicated to Caravaggio and his beautiful new wife, Gena. Classical 89.9, the time is now 3:20. Ping-Pong recording examples will be next, input select switches are on. Please stay tuned
