Schmoedipus song

First, I will go and tell you that I have neither seen this or the original Play for Today: Schmoedpius that this was based on. But I have heard some of the song from this simply because I wanted to hear Gary Oldman sing. And, I must admit, he sang well. Though I could do without the background angelic music...

You can find the net recording here:

But I noticed on the Schmoedipus one, sung by Tim Curry, (who I simply adore!) that almost all the words are different. From what I could hear (the sound quality for the Track 29 version was awful!), all the "M is for...Mother...means the world to me" part was different until "...and regular" then they were exactly the same, which isn't much of the song.

I wonder why they changed all that? Hmm...

I just thought this was interesting. If anyone else notices anything else between the two that was very different and "interesting", please respond.
