Just a quick, easy question...

I am looking for the title of the famous song that is in the first movie. The italian-opera song, that has been used again and again in spoofs of the movie. It's not included in the soundtrack, and I was really wanting to know the title of it. Hopefully you superfans should know what I'm talking about. Thanks in advance!

are you talkin about the opening theme to the godfather?

No I mean the opera with the italian guy singing his heart out, it's spoofed when people are doing drive by's, or more recently a commercial where this guy gets attacked by snowballs...it might be during the Christening scene?

Well, the Opera-one is Cavalleria Rusticana (also used in Raging Bull). But it's not the one during the christening.

The one used in the christening would be the Baptism # 11 in this CD: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/A...7/sr=2-2/ref=sr_2_2/103-5478714-48558 32

If you mean anything else, I have no idea.
PS: when is anyone attacked by snow balls?

you say the song was in the 1st one, but i dont remember their being an opera song in the 1st one were a guy sings his heart out, i beleive u mean the 3rd one.

classic music used in the first Godfather:

Le Nozze di Figaro [Cherubino's Aria "Non so più"
from Act I, Scene V]- Mozart

Baptism Sequence - Bach

Narbucco - Verdi

###

Cavalleria Rusticana from Pietro Mascagni is only in GFIII

it's not in The Godfather films, but I think you mean "Largo al factotum" from 'Il Barbiere Di Siviglia' (The Barber of Seville), written by Gioacchino Rossini

What you are looking for, Sheeno, is "Vesti La Giubba" from "Pagliacci" by Ruggiero Leoncavallo.

At Michael and Apollonia's wedding, the band briefly plays the "Brindisi" ("Libiamo ne liete calici") from Verdi's "La Traviata."

Thank you very much. That is the one I was looking for.
