Reminds me of the old joke during the fad of 'singing telegrams'.

Delivery messenger rings the bell and the lady of the house answers
the door.

'Telegram for you, ma'm.'

'Oh!' says she. 'A telegram! I've never had a telegram before! You've
got to sing it to me!'

'Well, no ma'm, I can't sing...'

'Oh, please! Sing it to me!'

'Well, all right ... if you insist ... HMMMMMM la la la (dramatically
warming up the voice):

JIM AND THE KIDS ARE DEAD.

Cheers,

Henry
