Bohemian Rhapsody

So there I was, one day, in Persian class.  I had previously learned that the word فراموش (faramoosh) means 'forget' in Farsi.  Now you may recognize that as one of the words in a song every drunk likes to butcher when out with his friends doing karaoke, the famous 'Bohemian Rhapsody' by Queen.

One day the teacher finally says it, and I ... oh, I'll just do it verbatim:

Teacher: blah blah bla faramoosh.

Me: Faramoosh?!  ( I look left and right at my classmates)

Class: Faramush!  Faramush faramush, will you do the FANDANGO?  Thunderbolts and LIGHTNING VERY VERY FRIGHTENING!

Half class in a high pitched voice: Galileo
Other half: GALILEOOO

All: GALILEO FIGARO.  MAGNIFICOOOOO!

And we kind of trailed off there because the teacher was looking at us funny.

Goddamn right that was magnificent.
