All you moms listen up. I know the idea of introducing classical music to your children sounds like a good one, but if you do please don't do it with lyrics!
While enjoying a romantic evening on one of the piazzas, an accordion player entered into the square. After a lovely rendition of O Sole Mio, he launched into the lively Hungarian Rhapsody (okay, maybe not the obvious choice for Rome, but it's a fun tune that everyone knows).
And just like that the spell was broken. The romantic evening was over. Because all I could think about were the lyrics Coral sang to me that she learned from Baby Einstein:
"Open up we want to get in. Open, open, open, open, open, open up!"
They aren't even good lyrics. She (and I) will never be able to listen to that gorgeous piece of music ever again with out those words running through her head. A travesty!
You think I'm over reacting? Try listening to Wagner without silently singing "Kill the wabbit. Kill the wabbit!"
