isn't anyone going to guess the songs? if not, i can just tell you the answer.

TinuvielChild · 05-07-2002, 08:59 PM

k, assuming nobody's guessing:

the first one is from the Mikado, and it is The Sun Whose Rays are all Ablaze, sung by Yum-Yum (soprano).

the second one is from the Pirates of Penzance, and it is the Pirate King's Song, sung by the Pirate King (baritone).

Now I know that there's at least one other G&S fan on here that hasn't been by this thread yet...Rian!

OK, OK, OK - I couldn't resist coming here.

With Cat-like tread *STOMP* our silent way we feel *STOMP*
(forgot next line)
NO sound at all *STOMP!* we never speak a word! *STOMP*
A fly's footfall would be distincttttttt-ly heard!

Come, men, who plough the sea,
Truce to navigation, take another station,
Let's vary piracy
With a little burglary!!!!

(OH - just thought of Bilbo with that last line!)

TC - this is getting scary - are we long-lost twins or something? (wait, wasn't that a G&S .... oh, no, just babies swapped at birth)
I mean, ballet, tengwar, C.S. Lewis, G&S. Good grief! What excellent taste we have!

(I probably got a few words wrong in that song, it's been years! It sure is funny, though. I must rent the Mikado soon, never seen it.)

THAT is cool!!!!! "I am the very model of a hero in Lord of the Rings"....We love you, IP!

Yeah, Rian, I was thinking that earlier.

"A rolicking band of pirates we,
Who, tired of tossing on the sea,
Are trying their hand at a burglary,
With weapons grim and gory!

Hush hush! I hear them on the mannnnor poaching!
With stealthy steps the pirates arrrre aproaching!

We are not coming for plate or gold,
A story General Stanley told,
We seeeek a penalty fifty-fold,
For General Stanley's stoooory!"
