Python song? (Re: Python isn't necessarily slow)

Definitely off topic, but...

I'm not sure which side of the pond Tim is from, so I'm not sure that
helped...

Anyway, the song "It ain't necessarily slow" is from George Gershwin's
Porgy and Bess (see, for instance
http://www.operaheb.co.il/operas/arias/porgy5.html).

Jimmy Somerville (who is from Glasgow, which is in Scotland, and was at
the time in Bronski Beat - later on he was indeed in the Communards)
does indeed cover this - it's on the album The Age of Consent, and also
on his singles album.

I have no reason to think that Jimmy Somerville programs in Python,
though...
