I'm bumping this thread, complying with the dictates of this game :- http://www.musicbanter.com/games-lis...litz-game.html
..and because we don't have one yet, I thought I'd put a clip of some G & S song; one each from the operettas that I'm vaguely familiar with, The Mikado and Pirates of Penzance:-

^ This is from a stage production by Jonathan Miller in which he seems to have re-located the show from China to England. The highlight of this short and ridiculously cheerful song must surely be the line, "Three little maids who all unwary come from a ladies seminary."

^ And here's the best known song from a film version of "Pirates," with a line slipped in about the Beatles. Wow, that really makes it so much more topical and relevant to today's tastes, doesn't it?
