I fell asleep last night with a suspicion that Mark Knopfler’s lyrics for "One More Matinee" (last track on Sailing to America, 2000) may be sung to the melody of Gilbert and Sullivan’s "Modern Major General" (Pirates of Penzance, 1879).

Reader, my suspicion has been confirmed:

We're proud to be the oldest Ugly sisters in variety
There's not the glamour now You see, what happened to society?
- There's another light bulb gone They don't all answer to the switch
I don't know how we carry on And her, she couldn't care, the bitch!

Writeup of what I know so far about what to do if you want to try to run Oblivion Remastered on an M-series Mac. So far, I haven't been able to get this to work on my M1 laptop, but I've found a small number of tutorials that owners of M3 or up machines might find beneficial.
