Did anyone else hear the, very clever, adaptations of various songs to Shakespearean prose yesterday on the Simon Mayo show (Radio 2. Mon-Fri; 17:00 - 19:00)

I have had BA Robertson's "to be or not to be" rattling around in my head all day today. Perhaps I heard it in the background on Mayo yesterday. He must have played it given the subject.
