Is There A Song About Halitosis?

I saw a snippet of an Opera whilst flicking through the TV channels in my Italian hotel room, and it got me thinking. I was thinking how strange it would be if real conversations were conducted in an operatic manner. If every word uttered was sung.

There would be many problems with this. Imagine Question Time. Or snooker commentary. Crimewatch? An interesting thought though - at least, I thought so.

Something I noticed about this particular opera, was how close the performers often sung to each other. Imagine a soprano singing in your face with a beautiful voice, such a beautiful melody, but with appalling breath.

Would you want it to stop?
