How would you say "bite my shiny metal ass" [sic] in Mexican Spanish?

For a thousand summers

Where can I get a copy of "I Will Wait For You" sung by Connie Francis, which appeared in the Futurama episode Jurassic Bark? I'm making a CD for my boyfriend for our anniversary, and I really want to include this specific song. I was able to find everything else I needed for the CD on iTunes, and there are other versions of this song on there, but the Connie Francis version eludes me.

Frankly, beyond iTunes I am absolutely clueless about how to buy music online, so I'm really not sure how to go about looking for it.

You're a dirty robot.

On the topic of songs with robots and warped vocals, I seem to remember a video of Bender from Futurama to the tune of "Dirty Robot" by Arling & Cameron (from their "We Are A&C" album). Did I just dream this or did it really exist? If so, where? Bonus points for providing a link to media.

And I'm his friend Jesus!

CostumeFilter: I have an idea for my halloween costume. Anyone know where I can get some gloves that look like lobster claws? The best would be is they were, like, latex gloves, so they'd be pliable enough for me to grasp things (drinks and such), but I'll take whatever I can get.

What is the origin of the phrase 'fevered dream?'

English/Literature question: I was watching some old Futurama episodes, and I noted on two occasions the use of the phrase "fevered dream"... [mo inside yo] In Futurestock, Scruffy the Janitor suddenly says "...what fevered dream is this that bids tear this company in twain?" And in another episode, either Leela or Scruffy says "...without L-beams, spaceflight would be but the fevered dream of a madman..." I love that phrase, could have sworn I heard it somewhere before, possible Shakespeare? Googling turns up naught but bad poetry. This is driving me nuts. Thanks!
