Agreed, be it rock, classical, folk or especially world music.

I tried to google it to no avail. I think that I remember hearing it on Alan
Freeman's "Rock Show" BBC radio programme in the 70's. But it was the 70's and
it could have been anything :)
I heard a good version at the National Theatre (now the RNT) years ago, in the
play. One of the few Ibsen's I like.

Which reminds me of the catalogue aria from Don Giovanni. Have you heard Girlie
Girlie by Sophia George 1986?
