Oh, is there not one maiden Breast

Oh, is there not one maiden Breast

[@TEgnoto89]

LOL only gilbert and sullivan can be hilarious in the right way 100 years later. timeless humor

[@charlesajones77]

I often wonder what Gilbert and Sullivan would say if they knew their silly little operettas have become some of the most famous, and most enduring stage musicals of all time. Pirates of Penzance is 145 years old this year, and I'm still watching it.

[@janedoe5229]

Mabel is played by Linda Ronstadt, and her song is designed to show off a soprano voice, which it does!!

[@charlesajones77]

She actually had to take voice lessons for this role, it was so far removed from how she normally sang. And she did a fantastic job. It's a real shame she can't sing any more.

[@cjmiller6741]

She didn't HAVE to take voice lessons. She CHOSE to take voice lessons to explore other types of music other than the country-rock genre she helped create and popularize. If you ever doubt it, listen to Heart Like a Wheel. If you want to hear some of her other music where her voice reaches the stratosphere, listen to her Christmas album.

[@jpm199]

How they groan when they hear Mabel is my favourite moment in English literature

[@sunnysweetpotato]

I swear their ovaries were so conflicted when he hit that B.

[@robertseide2774]

What word was that b on

[@ianseattle420]

It was a B flat but it's on "I'll LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE you"

[@gossamer999]

Taylor Ross i know mine were and i dont have any...that i know of o.O

[@Athanza]

xD

[@ngufanikojo6430]

HONESTLLY

[@BrianWelchVEVO]

Holy crap, listen to that high B. Sweet Lord above.

[@IdeaBug]

How pitiful his tale How rare his bootyyyyy

[@lydikiti]

I am Kate and I said that in a funny voice to Edith and now she won't leave me alone about it and asks me to say it all the time.

[@janedoe5229]

Only G&S can rhyme "bad complexion" with "man's affection".

[@JiveDadson]

monotony - got any

[@anaihilator]

God...Rex Smith was so hot, and that voice! I still have a crush to this day.

[@Kwprules]

Like music to my ears... Oh wait...

[@felixking2318]

lol how romantic, frederic. your pirate is showing

[@barkingtree88]

That B flat, though... held that long with vibrato?? Insane!!

[@jamzbond6570]

Rex Smith is World Class here. This is the first time I noticed Kevin Klein. And Linda Ronstadt's voice is a jewel in this film. Back in 1983, I saw this at a theatre and I didn't know who she was so I watched the credits roll to find out. Boy was I surprised!

[@mariedelgado1384]

This is my favorite song ever. 😅

[@motherwolfe66]

Awww mabel is absolutly adorable!!!!

[@alia___reneè]

this is a whole bop

[@katerusso]

Rex's voice here is on par with the BEST! Incredible, soooooo beautiful! I felt so conflicted the first time hearing that incredible voice paired with the hilarious pirate lyrics. Simply WONDERFUL!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@sydneymiller2258]

You could take a flirting class, Fredric you could use it

[@sunset261]

god I wish I had his singing voice.

[@LalalalalaLauren75]

WHAT!?!? The video can't just end there!!! Ugh. Ok. Fine.

[@drewbakka5265]

Yo. Me on tinder

[@stephaniefinnigan4237]

Rex Smith is sounding like a elvis Presley

[@melinehambartsumian1837]

I love this scene! 😊😍❤️🎶 I played the role of Mabel in an opera scenes show at Pasadena City College! We performed this scene, as well as other different scenes from different Gilbert and Sullivan operas. We also performed different scenes from musicals like West Side Story! It was very fun! 😊❤️🎶

[@SuperiorSwagon1]

This is def the best song.

[@jezebel324]

4:27-4:36 oh my GOD.

[@heatherscardigan3671]

4:46 i feel like once we all got a little older to understand what the reference was we all BURST out laughing watching this

[@timnewton-howes1287]

best romantic song ever.

[@Ronariverah]

shall reload with better quality?

[@sophiaz6833]

yesssssss

[@margueritejohnson8373]

Rex Smith is the very best Frederic of the very many I have seen. He combines a good voice, acting ability, the right age and, above all he is ‘a thing of beauty’.

[@donnataylor7972]

love REX at any age and his voice is outstanding and he is so cute. Love this song.

[@lyricacifer9512]

Yes...one

[@Nazza_Bazza]

Make that a solid two 😂

[@Gabbymadd22]

His voice is soo beautiful!!

[@kittyprydekissme]

I've been watching your Pirates videos over and over the last few days, but I never saw this one listed until today. (Somebody else has it uploaded, but yours is better quality.) I wonder how I missed it until now. And I wonder if there are any others I've overlooked.

[@YeoYeo32]

CAPTION: “Elvis-Style Warble” ME: 😂

[@Ronariverah]

This and several other vidoes can only be seen to those on my friend list. See the desciption for the other videos I have listed as Private.

[@BurningBlackScarlet]

Dude you rock for posting these videos! >w

[@Ronariverah]

[@t-bonemcgee8339]

[@misscanadarain]

I wish I was one of these ladies, 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😘😘😘😘😘 meow 😍😍😍😍😘😘😘

[@Lerm040]

I just gotta say...thank you SO much for putting this up. My school's chamber choir is doing an abridged version of Pirates of Penzance, and this is the audition piece for Frederic...I've been watching this an singing along to use as practice. :) I can absolutely say if I do get the part, I have you to thank for it, Cray. :)

[@itzakpoelzig330]

Did you get the part?

[@AznPridr]

could you also upload poor wandering one and climbing over rocky mountains from this movie as well? I loved those songs.

[@aliaabduljalil3655]

Alas there's not one Maiden here!

[@finnchel1998]

love this play lol

[@IggyTthunders]

I fucking love that this whole song can basically be summed up like this: Pirate: I need a butter face, who's got a butter face! Maidens: No butter faces here, sir! Then Mable comes in: Mable: I have a butter face, I got you, bro!

[@alia___reneè]

ALAASSSSSS THERE'S NOT ONE MAIDEN HERE🤣🤣🤣

[@charlesajones77]

When you totally misread your audience....

[@finnchel1998]

I love this play

[@mariedelgado1384]

Best. Song. Ever. 😂

[@avalasialove]

There are so many things I wish we could do from here to do in the play I'm doing

[@YpsitheFlintsider]

[@MrVampireLover18]

One of my classmates sang this song and and he sang it much better. No offense to anyone. ^_^

[@Sableagle]

Anyone else hear this song while listening to the main theme from Das Boot?

[@porsche911sbs]

Uummm... nein.

[@Raganite31]

I cried because I cried so loud and louder.

[@Wombatbaby]

Have I told you how much I adore you? *hugs* Thank you so much! I've missed this song. ^_^,ll..

[@Ronariverah]

[@piggyluv224]

[@misscanadarain]

Why are they crying?

[@itzakpoelzig330]

Cuz he's hot but they definitely can't marry a pirate.

[@lemonyfresh7367]

It has some great music and comedy, but was I the only one who thought that this was a really weird movie?

[@XatxiFly]

No, it is an odd adaptation. XD One I love though.

[@ChaequanAnderson]

AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!! Take this down NOW!
