Do EU hear the people sing?

Proving that economic journalism can show some vigor on the brink another global meltdown, NPR went musical. During a segment on Morning Edition, the Planet Money team made the case that France and Germany's relationship is similar to an operatic love story. More Rabbit of Seville than Glee, the segment mixed in clips of an actual operetta written and produced for the story and provided the music in it's entirety. Bravo, Planet Money, bravo! I look forward to the follow up, Car-man: A Bailout in Ballad.
