I saw the original just two weeks ago.

Wanted, wanted: Dolores Haze.
Hair: brown. Lips: scarlet.
Age: five thousand three hundred days.
Profession: none, or "starlet"
Where are you hiding, Dolores Haze?
Why are you hiding, darling?
(I Talk in a daze, I walk in a maze
I cannot get out, said the starling).
Where are you riding, Dolores Haze?
What make is the magic carpet?
Is a Cream Cougar the present craze?
And where are you parked, my car pet?
Who is your hero, Dolores Haze?

My fiancee during Halloween '06. She was heavy into Marilyn Manson, Slipknot, Darkthrone, etc. at the time. I used to keep my own Roman Catholicism from her, for fear of losing her. Today she's with me as an RC but we still have huge amounts of fun, dressing up, etc.

Yeah, I agree. I tried to find a poster of it to frame and hang up in my room, but unfortunately was unsuccessful.

Annoying because you only get to see it every other time?

You are a man of passions my friend.

I love the surreal quality of that cover. Plus, it has a piano so it seems appropriate here.

Hedonism Bot from Futurama, specifically the opera-themed episode, "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings."

My longstanding "thing" about Hedonism Bot is well-known in my social circles. Some of the best quotes from later Futurama came from Hedonism Bot.
