You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm getting a snippet of a song in my head from this conversation, and I can't google it. About bad men, I think? It sounds kind of flamenco-ish or similar, includes "they're all the same!" Anyone?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I think it is the song Dulcinea sings in Man of La Mancha-

One pair of arms is like another, don't ask me why or who to blame

I'll go with you or with your brother, it's all the same.

THANK YOU! Why do I even know that song? Or, not quite know it, to be precise.

Here is Sophia Loren singing it!

ETA- You did theatre in high school-- maybe because it is a good alto song?

ETA2: This woman is singing it really high! And they have really, really, really bad costumes!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDoLLginzy8&feature=related

I'm a soprano! I'm afraid it might have been in the ads on TV for what was apparently the 1988 tour: [link] I remember those ads, and ones for Camelot.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Now, let's not exaggerate and call it "singing".

She is singing better than all of the sopranos on youtube! I swear my original cast recording has it sung an octave lower!

And I totally remember advertisements for the tour of Evita all through my middle/high school years!

Hey Sophia, did you see my post that a friend of mine is directing a play at your university this fall?

Oh, and thanks to both of you for the earworm.
