The opera by Dizzy Man's Band

Dizzy man's Band
Dizzy Man's Band was founded in 1969 under the name Take Five. In 1970, they changed their name and recorded their first records. Dizzy man's Band was a fun Dutch pop group from Zaandam around singer Jacques Kloes.
The band debuted in 1970 with the song Tickatoo, with a recognizable, by Creedence Clearwater Revival (Down On The Corner) borrowed melody line. Also trumpet rock bands as Blood, Sweat & Tears were among the frames of reference, according to a number as A Matter Of Facts.

Other songs of the group are Jumbo, Mickey Mouse, Rio, The Show and Mony the phoney. Of those last two numbers was a bilingual medley created as advertising for a bank. Farce Majeure (a Dutch satirical television program) made The Show's an indictment on the Government ("it's only show"). In 1975 was scored with The Opera, a number that catches the ear because of the Pavarotti-like interludes.
In 1983, the Dizzy man's Band fall apart but came together for the Goud van Oud concerts by Veronica.(Veronica is a commercial TV channel in the Netherlands.) In 2009 came another series of concerts.
The Opera
 Hé if you wanna have some show
I know where you have to go
 In every town's a concert hall
 where we gonna have a ball
 It seems a bit official style
 but we can join it for a while
 So let's go to the opera
 and listen to that silly crow

Where the barritons are singin'
 la la la la
 And the fatty soprans screamin'
 la la la la la.

See the hero on the stage
 see him dying with much grace
 And Romeo and Julia
makin' love at the opera.
 So if you wanna have some fun
 I know where it can be done
 So let's go to the opera
 and laugh about the silly crow
