Ok, this is probably a bit daft, but it's always interested me, and suddenly, I feel moved to ask it.
So, at the end of the Opera section, the famous screeching Bb from Roger, how exactly is it meant to be phrased?
'Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me'
Now, is it
"Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me"
as in
"Beelzebub has got a devil that he has specifically put aside for me when I get down to hell"
OR IS IT
"Beelzebub, has a devil put aside for me?"
As in
"Excuse me Beelzebub, could you tell me if a devil has put aside for me?-as in he's keeping a space free in his calendar sort of thing"
OR IS IT
"Beelzebub!! Has a Devil put aside for me?"
as in
"By Beelzebub! I wonder if there's a devil in hell who is waiting for me"
I know it's probably stupid, but I'm just curious (puts on Richard Madeley voice) Give us a call, tell us what you think.
Beelzebub, has a devil put aside for me?"
As in
"Excuse me Beelzebub, could you tell me if a devil has put aside for me?-as in he's keeping a space free in his calendar sort of thing
The way it goes in the song is that he is expected to die, and of course Beelzebub will be waiting for him with his devil
