No Puccini? WTF?!
Here is a little known ditty by Alfredo Catalani

The Loyalists managed to get their licks in. New York was a hotbed of Loyalist sentiment because a large number of businessmen believed that the revolutionary cause was bad for business. This was published in a Loyalist newspaper in New York and was sung to the tune of Black Sloven. I could see the men of the Setauket tavern in AMCs series Turn singing this while busily drinking their way into their cups.
Unlike Andrew Lloyd Webber, I DON’T steal from Puccini!(LOL)
That scene was from one of my favorite movies (Diva) which I have not seen in years. Gotta update my NF queue.
