The wonderful Cathy Berberian with her hilarious Baroque version of "Ticket to ride":-

I think I'm going to be sad, I think it's today -ay -ay -ay -ya
The man that's driving me mad is going away - ay -ay -ay- ay- ay -ay -ay -ay -ay -ay -ay.
He's got a ticket to ride,
He's got a ticket to ri - hi - ide,
He's got a ticket to ride, but he don't care...

And before that it was Cage's "The Wonderful Widow of Eighteen Springs" - "night - a silent-setting night... Isabel, sister Isabel, sainted Isabel, Madam Isabel..." .

I got this CD many years ago and it opened new worlds to me. And these two tracks (in particular) are even more wonderful now than when I first heard them.
