Sisi and Sissy boys


Thin Fish cover About a week ago I was invited to attend the musical "Elisabeth" in the the "Theater an der Wien". This was the second time I attended a musical show. And although I appreciate obviously high production quality (hydrolic platforms, costume changes every other minute, &c, &c) I just do not enjoy the music. Again it has a high production quality but for some reason Musicals do not appeal to me that much. Is it because of the cliches? I don't know, rock-n-roll is full of 3-chord cliches. Is it the lack of irony? That could well be, because there is one musical, which I have never seen, but listened to many many times and that is full of irony. "Thing Fish".

So what about this topic title... Sisi and Sissy boys.

Well as you all known "Elisabeth" Empress of Austria - Queen of Hungary was called "Sisi". And the first line in "Thing Fish" is:

Once upon a time, musta been 'round October, few years back, in one o' dose TOP SECRET LAB-MOTORIES de gubbnint keep stashed away underneath Virginia, an EVIL PRINCE, occasion'ly employed as a part-time THEATRICAL CRITICIZER set to woikin' on a plot fo de systematic GENOCIDICAL REMOVE'LANCE of all unwanted highly-rhythmic individj'lls an' sissy-boys!

Back to listening to the hilaric adventures of our EVIL PRINCE, Ronda, Harry and Sister OB'DEWLLA 'X.
