A while ago I uploaded a recording of "Lydia" on my site:
http://bobcat74.free.fr/dr/drmusic/drmsc001.htm
Surprisingly, the Norwegian edition's lyrics aren't in there, though they
seemed familiar.
Well, it does feature "She has eyes that men adore so and here torso even
more so".
There's also "For a dime you can see Kentucy or Paris or Washington crossing
the Delaware", but no "Sugarloaf Mountain" nor Napoleon.
http://www.whyaduck.com/info/movies/scenes/lydia.htm has the transcription
of the song you'll hear on my site-- unfortunately, I had lost the source
of the mp3 file by the time I included it.
http://members.tripod.com/Cleo256/marx/lydia.html also has the lyrics, with
the introduction, and a wav file.
I couldn't find "For five she'll show you Sugarloaf Mountain" through
Google.
It may be that were several versions of the songs, which Groucho may have
changed as inspiration struck him, so that there would be a stage version
and a recorded version, and maybe yet another one.
(The page above credits the song to E.Y. Harburg & Harold Arlen, but Groucho
may have changed it at some point all the same-- or the authors themselves,
for that matter)
The Norwegian translaotr / editor might then have searched for the lyrics,
found one of these versions, and deemed it funnier than the lines quoted.
Or maybe Don gave the lyrics he had for the full song, and let each editor
pick the lines he preferred, the sole condition being that the running gag
of the song be kept.
I'm curious to know the answer.
In any case, the song is great, and the story's gag is hilarious when you
know it and imagine Donald singing it.

Along with this, the Marx Brothers films - as with most all Hollywood
product - were subtitled or overdubbed for release into various
overseas (that is, non-US) markets. These, of course, required
translations of dialogue and song lyrics, a job usually handled by
the overseas distributors, which knew the specific needs - and
restrictions - of their markets. This has resulted in all kinds of
variations to dialogue, song lyrics, and even plot lines.

Yes, they were censored. The Disney censor at the time
considered most of the song too rude to be quoted. In Don's original,
more of the lyrics were used than what Gladstone published (and there
was less repetition, too).

Readers should be aware that since the time we wrote this
solicitation, "The Imp and I" and the Daisy story have been dropped
from the issue; Daisy was rescheduled in issue 668, and "Imp" will
come later on.
Replacing the two stories is a long Floyd Gottfredson Mickey

Here are the previews for the Disney comics coming out in April 2006 from
Previews Volume XVI #2:
Donald Duck and Friends #339 --- Carl Barks classic Donald Duck Adventure,
"In Ancient Persia," is the featured attraction in this month's issue, together
with a cover illustarting the tale by Dutch master Daan Jippes (Note that this

to Bong," Pete struggles to reform while on an African treasure hunt. SC, 7x10,
128 pages, FC $7.95
Mickey Mouse and Friends #288 --- Donald D. Markstein and Fabrizio Pedrocchi
team up to bring you the month's two-part Mickey adventure, "The Power of the
Gods." And Pat and Carol McGreal and Vicar join forces once again on the much

Beasties." 32 pages, FC $2.95

groundbreaking science-fiction motion picture classic, Tron #1 takes place in present day,
over two decades after the events of the film. Jet Bradley, son of the
original Tron programmer Alan Bradley, has recently escaped the computer world. But
his experiences within cyberspace have left him emotionally scarred -- vivid
nightmares plague him, and he's become paranoid and unstable. He shuns
technology wherever possible, leaving him effectively crippled in the modern world.
And now something within the computer world wants him back. Exploring the
fast-paced action from the hit film and recent videogame, plus the impact of
experiencing the cyberworld on the human psyche, this series starts a thrilling new
chapter in the Tron saga! 24 pages, FC $3.50

To whom it might concern:
Every once in a while, when I look up an italian story using the coa search
engine, an additional comment appears in a story index.
Sadly, these comments are usually written in italian.
A truly beautyful language, but unfortunately it can be hard to understand
for the average uneducated fool... (me)
Is there any chance they might be translated into, say, english, at some
point?
It would be very nice to be able to read exactly what it says, instead of
just relying on my usual combination of a dictionary and a little guesswork.

WDC 666 uses a 37-page version of "Inferno" from various 1990s
Italian albums, so it's all in this one issue? just remounted to
standard comic book size, with more panels per page than was
originally the case. It's only very slightly abridged (missing is a
short sequence set in Hades' barber shop; originally, a rather
critical panel of plot exposition was also deleted, but we restored
that).
For a number of reasons, we didn't want to spread this story
over two issues. Of course, we still have the option of publishing
another edition, in the original aspect ratio, later on.

The cover shown in Previews is the wrong one. The real cover to
