Those of you familiar with showtunes will note that the magic herpes are singing incorrect lyrics to "Clang, Clang, Clang Went the Trolley". The third line of the song is traditionally "Zing, zing, zing went my heartstrings", not "Tug, tug, tug…"

I just always remembered it going that way. That's why I chose it for the magic herpes to sing. It ties into the gangster's gruesome fate quite appropriately.

Unfortunately, the lyrics are wrong. I didn't bother to change them though.

Call me crazy, but I somehow doubt that too many of you read that page just now and became vexed over my lack of ability to give exact transcriptions of Broadway standards.

Sorry this page took so long. I haven't been giving as much time to my side projects as I probably should have.
