Told You So: A Musical Hijacking of Aesop's Fables
T2063646425
'Aesop's unique blend of stern morals and naughty wolves has taught people their place for centuries' fumed a source close to Aesop yesterday 'but I'll be surprised if this new version, with its so-called 'jokes' and shameless ransacking of musical styles, teaches anyone anything!' 'A
femme fatale Fox woos the Crow into dropping its cheese with a smoky jazz duet; a Cat in love with a boy discovers there's no point in being transformed into a beautiful human girl if you're still going to eat live mice; and an earnest choir of Frogs try to catch the attention of Zeus with Anglican hymns and gospel rock.' Continued our source, angrily, 'Where's the moral in any of that? They're just being silly.'
