here is some info I downloaded about it (sorry I forget the source)

"Aux anciens parapets is a poem by Miles Wooton, a savage bit of satire on American fatcattery, spoken over a tour de force rendering of the Harry Lime Theme from The Third Man, a tune for the zither by Anton Caras. An air of sauntering menace.
The title is taken from Rimbaud's Le bateau ivre: "Je regrette l'Europe aux anciens parapets!"
