In a mythical Japan, Ko-Ko, a cheap tailor, has been appointed Lord High Executioner and must find someone to execute before the
arrival of the ruling Mikado. He lights upon Nanki-Poo, a strolling minstrel who loves the beautiful Yum-Yum. But Yum-Yum is also
loved by Ko-Ko, and Nanki-Poo, seeing no hope for his love, considers suicide. Ko-Ko offers to solve both their problems by
executing Nanki-Poo, and an agreement is reached whereby Ko-Ko will allow Nanki-Poo to marry Yum-Yum for one month, at the end of
which Nanki-Poo will be executed, in time for the arrival of the Mikado. But what Ko-Ko doesn't know is that Nanki-Poo is the son
of the Mikado and has run away to avoid a betrothal to an old harridan named Katisha. The arrival of the Mikado brings all the
threads of the tale together.

I love this song - I’ve seen The Mikado several times and this song is so funny.

[@OofusTwillip]

This is Yum-Yum's aria. W.S. Gilbert would be outraged that it was given to Nanki-Poo in the movie.

[@diddymuck]

true enough. but man that voice!!

[@WillScarlet16]

But Gilbert knew nothing about movies. You would have to explain to him that in a play you can have Nani-Poo stand still and describe how he met Yum-Yum, but in a movie it makes more sense to show it happen instead of stand still talking about it.

[@Nina5144]

Why is a man singing about how beautiful he is and compares his beauty to the sun and moon?

[@thecardigankid]

Men can be beautiful too!

(but in the context of this film, it's clearly intended to be a ballad within the context of the film, which I think is acceptable.)
