Well, there we differ. As I said, except for "Mack the Knife," I can't think of a song whose lyrics were the killing aspect. I may _prefer_ one set of lyrics to another; that's why I wish I could hear a vocal version of "Moon over Naples," as I happen to like the lyric better than that of "Spanish Eyes," which was written to the same music. But it's not critical. Bruce
