This song is so masterful, if only the goofy comedy bit was taken off. What I would give for a vocaless track. This would also make a great song, if you added new singing vocals over the main melody.

Nah, it is what it is and it's all good. The music is very strong though and it seems like a lot of people fail to notice. But the skit is locked in with the music, they belong together.

"Do you like diamonds"
"Mmm-hmm"
"Yeah"
"Yes"
"Well I know it's kind of masculine, but try this one on"
Whoosh

The way the music flows with the words to me is powerful. Just like "Computer Blue". Why would you want to break that up?
