[Dave Monroe]

Reminds me to ask, anybody ever work out possible
melodies, perhaps even possible published/recorded
analogues, for any of Pynchon's many musical numbers? 

Some I can hear fairly strongly--e.g., "The Doper's
Cadenza" in GR or even that number from "Mondaugen's
Story" in V.--but others don't always scan
particularly well, at least not to my internal ear.  

But I would have thought that by now somebody along
the line would have put out an illicit tape of Pynchon
songs, in sort of that SF/Fantasy fandom "filksinging"
tradition.

By the way, note also Mucho Maas whistling "I Want to
Kiss Your Feet" (now THAT one I can hear) by Sick Dick
and the Volkswagens, cf. Richard M. Zhlubb and his
Managerial Volkswagen in Gravity's Rainbow ...

But evrything does seem to point back to Pierce
Inverarity, no?  Wherever he may be ...
