[Taffimai]

Did you know Pavarotti came from a really long line of opera singers?

[farothel]

Next on the Masked Singer, the Guppies.

"Alright everybody! Put your fins together and give it up for....The Moody Blue!"

[farothel]

On the mudflat, the mighty mudflat, the seagull sleeps tonight.

If fishes can't make sounds, how do you explain this?

...according to the main choreographer of the West Side Story, the failure of the newest adaptation was not due to the singing - which was fine - or the acting - which was a bit stiff. It was the lack of finger snapping...
