Name That Tune

[All Music]

Hi Bob,

I'm thinking there's at least 2-2½ words there. :biggrin:

>>Identification from 3 seconds of sound is a big ask.<<

I know you're right about that!

>>Also - and I often think this when I see this kind of post - why the burning need to identify it? I find it hard to believe that this tiny sound fragment was enough for you to say "That's incredible, I really must find out the name of that work so I can buy it and listen to it!"<<

That clip is from season 2 episode 12 of Mystery Science Theater 3000. I am currently captioning the series and I do karaoke songs that are sung in the episodes. I list the songs being sung as well under the karaoke'd lyrics The guy who plays the robot who sings that is a big classical music person and there are tons of classical music references in this show (in case you're unfamiliar with it.)

Here's an example of what I do:

I am a completest, so I try to figure out all the music but sometimes it goes above my knowledge.

For what it's worth, he references Pavarotti prior to singing. It could well be another piece that Pavarotti is known for singing.

Thanks to anyone who can solve this! Plus, you'll end up in the credits.
