I'm doing this for a musical

They seem pretty okay with it.

What, never!?

Lmfao

I'm 78.8 English the rest Irish Scottish Welsh

What is this from?

I have the dvd of this operetta and I notice that one General Stanley's daughters was Jane Leeves who played Daphne on Fraiser

Best Fairy Queen ever!!!!

This Brent Walker effort is an absolutely terrible production of Ida. Unfortunately it's one of the very few that are available for purchase. 🙁

A beautiful song

What's a big big D?

In good King Charles's golden days, When loyalty had no harm meant; A zealous high-church man I was, And so I got preferment. To teach my flock I never missed, Kings are by God appointed, And those are damn'd that do resist, And touch the Lord's anointed. And this is the law, I will maintain Unto my dying day, Sir. That whatsoever King shall reign, I will be the Vicar of Bray, Sir! When Royal James obtained the throne, And popery came in fashion; The Penal Laws I booted down, And read the Declaration: The Church of Rome I found would fit Full well my constitution, And had become a Jesuit, But for the revolution. And this is law, I will maintain Unto my dying day, Sir. That whatsoever King shall reign, I will be the Vicar of Bray, Sir! When William was our King declared, To ease the nation's grievance, With this new wind about I steered, And swore to him allegiance: Old principles I did revoke, Set conscience at a distance, Passive obedience was a joke, And pish is non-resistance. And this is law, I will maintain Unto my dying day, Sir. That whatsoever King shall reign, I will be the Vicar of Bray, Sir! When gracious Anne ascendes the throne, Then Church of England's glory, Another face of things was seen, And I became a Tory: Occasional conformists base I damn'd there moderation, And thought the Church in danger was, From such prevarication. And this is law, I will maintain Unto my dying day, Sir. That whatsoever King shall reign, I will be the Vicar of Bray, Sir! When George in pudding time came o'er, And moderate men looked big, Sir, I turned cat in pan once more, And then became a Whig, Sir. And so preferment I procur'd, By our faith's great defender And almost every day abjur'd The Pope, and the Pretender. And this is law, I will maintain Unto my dying day, Sir. That whatsoever King shall reign, I will be the Vicar of Bray, Sir! The Illustrious House of Hanover, And Protestant succession, To these I do allegiance swear, While they can keep possession: For by my faith, and loyalty, I never more will faulter, But George, my lawful king shall be, Until the time shall alter. And this is law, I will maintain Unto my dying day, Sir. That whatsoever King shall reign, I will be the Vicar of Bray, Sir!

"Here a sheer hulk lies poor Tom Bowling, The darling of our crew; No more he'll hear the tempest howling, For death has broach'd him to: His form was of the manliest beauty, His heart was kind and soft. Faithful, below, he did his duty, And now he's gone aloft, And now he's gone aloft. Tom never from his word departed, His virtues were so rare, His friends were many, and true-hearted, His Poll was kind and fair: And then he'd sing so blithe and jolly - Ah! many's the Time and oft - But mirth is turn'd to melancholy, For Tom is gone aloft, For Tom is gone aloft. Yet shall poor Tom find pleasant weather, When He, who all commands, Shall give, to call life's crew together, The word to pipe all hands: Thus death, who Kings and tars dispatches, In vain Tom's life has doff'd, For though his body's under hatches, His soul has gone aloft, His soul has gone aloft."

did they ever perform this on a real ship?

What is a paddle? I've been trying to find out what it is, but even this, the mighty and all-knowing internet has failed me in this regard... :(

Splendid.

Ah, captain corkscrew

One of my favorite G & S operas. Where are musicals like this today?

The girl in the pink is like, "Toss it to me!"

After hearing Sallah and Picard sing this for years, the original is...somewhat disappointing. Also, is Pinafore supposed to be a satire, because this dialog seems way too pompous to be serious.

Not suitable

I like the way the crew did "The Curley Shuffle" at 2:14.

Long live the House of Hanover and Union 🇬🇧 God save the King!!!

Okay be honest, which series brought you here: 1: Family Guy 2: Simpsons 3: Star Trek

marines apparently attending their first day at Walking School.

he's... vlogging.

many choices made. all of them very... interesting.

The Hand That Rocks the Cradle brought me here lol

What a great voice. The lyrics are still relevant in 2024!

you seem to have missed off the end of act 1, it's a very important piece of the opera. Namely the bit where the fairies put Strephen into power as a left leaning politian inthe 1800s - all under their spell. Guilbert and Sullivan is excellent satire. To leave out bits isn't really fair. It's more clever than that- the British know how to laugh at themselves

ok

The Greatness of G and S!!

Why are numbers 6-8, 10, 20-22 missing in this mix?

How do I listen to the entire version? What is this version?

Its stuck in my head

He seems like a good captain honestly 🤣, I guess no real captain is this polite cause sailors are known for the exact opposite

What version was this again?

Loved this version. Very good.

A truly brilliant song in every respect, and one which makes me smile every time I hear it. Many congratulations, Sir Arthur and Sir William - and thank you!!

Que the Pirates of Penzance bursting in and fighting with Constabulary. 😂

The great, much-missed Richard Van Allan. Please credit. We've also just lost the wonderful Keel Watson, who sang Private Willis in the ENO revival of Iolanthe.

Without this number, Pirates of Penzance would be forgettable fluff. It would still have all it's technical brilliance, but it wouldn't have the spark and soul that's kept it in the repertoire for almost 150 years.

2:29 this I think was from the simpsons were Lisa plays music as she kills bob

I LOVE HOW THIS IS TYLER'S THEME SONG

2:59 Original lyric is " ... and the n-words they'll be bleaching by-and-by ...." Gather on ME! Listen to Prem Rawat!

One of the best but who's is the staging?

Family Guy, Simpsons, Tracey Ullman, Benny Hill.... funny how this was used as a base over several generations. Talk about staying power

that one sailor at 1:37 that looses his hat is hilarious to me.

The orchestral accompaniment to this song is pure delight. There is so much to admire and enjoy in Sullivan's scores, if we bother to take the time and trouble to listen. Best wishes to all. Peter A (London).

This is Frankie, a legend, and he is always funny so it doesn't matter if he can't sing, he cheers us up, so he can be forgiven, we need cheering up!
