MacPhisto Martini Song

[opaltranquility]

Hello Pleba ladies. It's been a long time, and probably no one remembers me but that's ok. I have a request!! I'm looking for audio or video of MacPhisto singing the martini song. Maybe some of my former MacPhisto Society comrades can point me in the right direction??? I want to make it into a ringtone for my dear friend FishNeedsABicycle

Thanks!!

I have it. I'll upload it and post the link. It's a 6 minute audio track though if that's ok. I don't have a way to cut just the song clip right now, but maybe someone else here can!

I don't have a cut version either. It's the Macphisto speech from his birthday '93 Rotterdam, right before he calls a flight attendant.

I've been wondering about that for years. I'd love to know the symbolism behind that.

According to U2faqs.com, he was an opera singer

7. Who's in the picture on MacPhisto's dressing table in the Sydney Zoo TV video?

Mario Lanza. He was an American opera-style singer in the 1950s. He had no formal training but sang in a light operatic style in several MGM musicals. He was touted as "the American Caruso." In fact, Mario was a truck driver from Philadelphia and could handle neither the stress of fame nor MGM's insistence that he sing like Caruso but weigh only slightly more than his leading ladies. He died of a heart attack in his mid 30's. Bono said in an interview with Spin magazine that Mario Lanza's singing impressed him as a child. [CB, MJS]
