hi there,

I like this song too, and tried to remebember how I heard some of the names:
>                 DECOMPOSING COMPOSERS - sung by Michael Palin
> And 'Elgar (?) doesn't answer the door
I am at a loss here too :(
> Handle and Hayden and Rachmaninoff
  Haendel
> Veddie and Wagner delighted the crowds
  Verdi
> Claude Aquile DeBussy - died 1918
         Aguile Debussy
> Christophe Willebald Glucke - died 1787
  Christoph  Willibald Gluck
> Karl Mariah Von Weber - not at all well, 1825
       Maria  von
> Giacommo Miapere - Still alive, 1863
  Giacomo  Meyerbeer
>                  - Not still alive, 1864
> Modeste Muzaugski - 1880, goin' to parties
  Modest  Mussorgski
>                   - No fun anymore, 1881
> Johann Nepamore (?) Hummel - Chattin' away 19 and a dozen with 'is mates
	 Nepomuk

BTW, I'd like to see the PHILOSOPHER SONG done the same way. It's lyrics were
omitted in the accompanying booklet.
