Alaska y Los Pegamoides - Otra dimensión
Some lyrics to the song (not mine!)
No podré volverte a ver nunca más
sabes que lo siento de verdad
nunca debí haber cogido ese avión
ahora estoy en otra dimensión
Aquí perdido sin tu amor
entre humanoides de color
Cuando sobrevolábamos Key Biscayne
sentí un mareo, una náusea, un no sé qué
las azafatas corrían sin cesar
el piloto lloraba en el bar
Aquí perdido sin tu amor
entre humanoides de color
Te dejo pues me vienen a buscar
no sé adónde me querrán llevar
ya despega la nave a propulsión
te espero a las ocho en Plutón
Aquí perdido sin tu amor
entre humanoides de color

Gilbert and Sullivan - Modern Major-General
Some lyrics to the song (not mine!)
I am the very model of a modern Major-General,
I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;
I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical,
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical,
About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news,
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.
I'm very good at integral and differential calculus;
I know the scientific names of beings animalculous:
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
I know our mythic history, King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's;
I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox,
I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus,
In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous;
I can tell undoubted Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies,
I know the croaking chorus from The Frogs of Aristophanes!
Then I can hum a fugue of which I've heard the music's din afore,
And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore.
Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform,
And tell you ev'ry detail of Caractacus's uniform:
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
In fact, when I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin",
When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a Javelin,
When such affairs as sorties and surprises I'm more wary at,
And when I know precisely what is meant by "commissariat"
When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery,
When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery
In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy
You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee.
For my military knowledge, though I'm plucky and adventury,
Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century;
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
