Modern Major-General | The Pirates of Penzance | TUNE

[@jobe616]

I didn't know "sat a gee" was a real phrase and thought he just made it up for the rhyme and everyone was playing along. I thought THAT was the joke, but the joke was on me.

I want to be as happy about my accomplishments in life as this man is about knowing high school math.

All of the stuff this guy is bragging about knowing is stuff that any person who finished school was expected to know.

Nice high quality video of this song. Still like to listen to every once in a while since being introduced to it by a certain Salarian. This one makes me less sad 😂

The VA recorded a full version with orchestra, just in case you haven't seen it.

If they were to make this movie today, they'd have problems finding actors who can speak that fast whilst remaining intelligible... Watch another jewel from this flick "It doesn't really matter" with Kevin Kline and Angela Lansbury.

[@kaybryant5099]

I can I just need words

[@reginabillotti]

Not at all, unless they insist on Hollywood a-listers. Plenty of theater actors could handle these roles.

[@lucase.garcia8026]

The perfect AI cover for General Grievous...

[@pippipster6767]

Very nice quality, but not a patch on the performance by Andrew Shore as Major General-Stanley, with Joshua Bloom as Pirate King and Claudia Boyle as Mabel in the ENO production by film director Mike Leigh. (Is on YT.)
