Separated at Birth?

Peculiar and Mrs Peculiar have been regular patrons of the Santa Fe Opera since they were students at St John's there. Mr P has always had a sideline in opera criticism (use search on the O & P blog for older examples), in addition to his guiding and photography. His review of the normal fare is good and funny, as always:

"Last night was The Pearl Fishers by Bizet, which turned out to be an exceedingly silly opera. I've never been a huge fan of Carmen, alas, so I was happy to hear something else from Bizet. It's pretty much a paint-by-numbers grand opera: love triangle; decent, loyal baritone in a bad position; virgin soprano priestess who turns out to be remarkably easy; bass oppressor; and an ardent tenor with the foresight and self-control of an ungulate during the rut."

But at the end he embeds what must be the most hilariously idiotic video of an opera production (or anything else musical) I have ever seen, for your comment. Those... pipes!



Am I the only one old enough to be instantly reminded of this early eighties, early video pop hit? (Though the girls do a MUCH better job!) Peculiar was only an infant but I have sent it to him for thoughts.
