I’m listening to Radio 3 at the moment, and they’re playing part of a rather fine recording of The Messiah1. I was wondering if it was available for purchase, so googled the record’s code: PHILIPS 420 865-2. Result number 13 was this:
M H Shearer, R K Bright, R E Lanford, and R C Kennedy (1993). Immunization of mice with baculovirus-derived recombinant SV40 large tumour antigen induces protective tumour immunity to a lethal challenge with SV40-transformed cells. Clin Exp Immunol. 91(2): 266–271.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejo-o-o-o-oice greatly!

Ah yes, the glorious strains of the Immunizeit Chorus…
When I first sang the Messiah in its entirety in choir, I recall a bit of bother in the alto section about the “Oh we, like sheep” bit. Our copy of the music had failed to include the comma, and our part didn’t resolve the rest of the sentence, so it was all rather amusing.
I hope the poor little lambs weren’t lethally immunized, Jenny.
Ah, Jenny. You had each gone astray in his (err, her) own way. Or was that your Welsh tenors?
