You want to REALLY ruin it?  Think of the operatic cartoon with
Bug Bunny and Elmer Fudd, where Elmer sings:

"Ki-ill the wabbit, Ki-ill the wabbit, Ki-ill the wabbit... "

Then think of Pagliacci sung with the words:

"I've killed the wabbit, I have killed the poor wabbit..."

I don't think such things ruin music for me at all.  They just give
me a little giggle once in a while when thinking about it.
