Gilbert and Sullivan

Wow, what a great childhood trip to remember :-)

I tried showing my son the "foeman"-song from the movie, on youtube. He was puzzled, but did start grinning at the end, when they march around yelling how ready they are to go into battle, but never actually leave.

And yesterday I listened through the Mikado at work. The minstrel song is great, and so is the punishment fitting the crime, with that amazing laugh in between the verses :-D I had no idea I still knew so many of the songs by heart.

It has been a very long time and I don't suppose I know that much by heart any more.

When I was a kid my parents had recordings they'd play pretty often. The Mikado more than any of them, Pirates and Pinafore for sure, I don't think any of the less well known operette. I have no idea whose productions.

I'm actually thinking of Tom Lehrer's rendition of the periodic table of the elements to the tune of "Modern Major General." I wonder how many people would even get that, now.

But look what I found when I googled. Now this is cool.

That was fantastic!
