@ayidaam They made operettas, perhaps the most famous being Pirates of Penzance. That's why Wayne says "I'm a general, you know,"at about 3:49. A very modern major general, I'm assuming.
@greywolf19673 I am 100% sure that the musicians and performers rehearse beforehand to ensure that everyone knows the song styles and tempo, practicing on a variety of topics. It's impossible to get two musicians and two singers in synch without a rehearsal. They would then improv the lyrics on the show based on the topic they are given and would match the singing with the music that was rehearsed.
@swallowthecoconut If the improv was done by one person playing the instrument, it shouldn't be a problem. But here, you have four people who have to collaborate. It's almost impossible for the best of singers to anticipate which direction the music is headed if they never heard it before. The singers also need to know when it is their turn to sing. Notice Wayne and Josie didn't sing over each other?
I don't know if it's because I'm fucking high but I got up to 1:48 and I had to take a break cause it changed my life..like seriously that amazing. But than again I did just smoke a gram. Either way HILARIOUS show. Thanks for upload.
Did you know Josie plays Sid's mom in Skins?! I didn't! I have just started watching WLIIA so I didn't recognize her the first time around, but just the other day I was re-watching Skins and BAM!, Josie!
I pointed at the scream, screamed her name and was met with a silence. ;(. But yeah, JOSIE!
Arguably one of the best GH games for both the awesome banter b/w Colin & Ryan, as well as the songs themselves. The G&S tune was particularly amazing, and it was incredible how Wayne & Josie even got in synch in the middle of their counterpoint singing. It's too bad they didn't get more of Josie in the US version because she fit in far more than Kathy Greenwood
Josie is the only extra that I've seen who can really match Wayne in terms of both vocal performance and physical characterizations. Jeff and Chip are ok, but there's just something really believable about their personas.
Most likely the musicians know beforehand about potential music styles Ryan or Colin would use in their improv and THEY rehearse beforehand. The singing is entirely improvised, that's obvious.
Wayne & Josie both sing beautifully together. This is the best operatic parody since 'The Harley of Seville' and ' When the hell is it gonna get dark' (Why won't the sun go down), with Wayne & Jeff. Can you imagine if all three of them got together for 'The Mikado'...? Wow! That would be really something, wouldn't it !! Josie has great looks, great humour, great voice, a very talented lady... I'm in love!!!
hahaha! "hey, coll?" "yes, ryan?" "how many songs are on this 2-D CD set?" "i mentioned it earlier and if you weren't listening, tough." :) i love these guys. this show is definitely one of the best, no doubt.
This reminds me of the Song Styles Wayne and Josie did (maybe from this same episode) where they brought in a machinist and sang to him as if they were the Sex Pistols. "He is a machin-ist!"
she's so cute whenever she thinks she did something wrong! like when they were playing scenes from a hat and she said some really obscene stuff! i love josie ♥ =)
Josie is the absolute best girl who sang on the show!!

Josie should have been doing more greatest hits, she's awesome. Her and Denny are the funniest female improvers they have on the US show.
Also that 3rd song rocks although I have no idea who Gilbert and Sullivan were.
