From one three syllable name ending in 'O' to another, the Brotherhood were on a roll though Figaro is a less involved affair than 'Angelo'; the titular character is no longer a doomed Mexican shepherd boy but some Club 18-30 rep-cum-lothario forever on the pull:"Every morning when sun is dawning
You'll see him down on the beach.
Look out girl better beware
Better take good care, keep yourself out of reach."
Which just about sums it up quite nicely, only leaving me to say that 'Figaro' is a bland, British, bakelite Butlins chug of forced gaiety that's powered by the theme tune from a C grade sit-com as played on the horn from Noddy's car. It's quite the most jaunty song about a serial sexual predator that you are ever likely to come across, but is that by itself any cause for celebration? (Does that question need an answer? I think not. On both counts).
