Friday 2nd July 1993 Verona, Italy Stadio Bentegodi
[Desire ends with MacPhisto remarking "Oh, I love when it does that!" as Zoo ECUs rain down.] MacPhisto: "Off with the horns, on with the show. Look what you've done to me. Look what you've done to me. You've made me very famous... and I thank you. I know you like your pop stars to be exciting, so I bought these. Do you like them?" Crowd: [cheer] MacPhisto: "What a wonderful night. All the lights, all the special effects. But do you know, sometimes... I feel quite lonely. And sad. Triste. And I think... of home. Would you mind awfully if I made a telephone call home? I have some friends there and they're having a party tonight. It's a birthday party – shall we ring them up and wish them happy birthday? Would you do that for me? I live in a place called Dublin, Ireland, in a house called Telefís Éireann. Shall I give them a call now?" [dials] MacPhisto: "They're an awfully nice group of people – they're a group too, their name is Clannad. A kind of a family. And this is a family show..." Woman: "Dublin..." [Man: "Bit of a problem with sound."] MacPhisto: "Hello, I'd like to speak to the good people of Clannad." [group laughter in the background] MacPhisto: "My name is MacPhisto, and I have some friends here that'd like to sing you happy birthday!" Máire Brennan: "Hello! How are you doing?" MacPhisto: "Hello Máire, my old friend." Máire: "Hello, Mr Mac-- MacPhisto!" [laughs] MacPhisto: "How are you?" Máire: "Lovely to see you..." MacPhisto: [sings] "Happy birthday to you... happy birthday to you..." Máire: [laughs] MacPhisto & crowd: [singing] "Happy birthday dear Clannad, happy birthday to you!" [Ultra Violet begins] Máire: "You wouldn't do us a favour, erm... MacPhisto?" MacPhisto: "I love you, Máire." Máire: "Oh thank you, thank you!" [laughs as MacPhisto starts the song] |
