Les Barker has set wonderful words to e.g.

- Rossini's "Wilhelm Tell Ouverture" set in an Indian restaurant as the "William Patel Ouverture", complete with poppadoms, vindaloo and Hindu-be-du,
- Tchaikovsky's "1812 Ouverture" as "Blessed are the Peacemakers",
- Ravel's "Bolero" as, er, the "Bolero"
