Thomas Allen - My gallant crew, good morning (from HMS Pinafore)

[MegaCeilingCat]

I don't know any music stuff or anything. I heard this on a movie with the guy that played Hawkeye Pierce from MASH and the dead captain. And the cannibals.

Excellent diction because he's a bonny Geordie lad. Not a bad singer eethor. A fine successor to Owen Brannigan.

@ronneesam 'Cept Brannigan was a bass, and Allen is a baritone.

Although Stewie from 'Family Guy' did a good take on this song, there's just no beating this original version of downright perfection. ^^

@gOtHiCxAnGeLxox It's funny that you mention Stewie (aka Seth MacFarlane) since MacFarlane actually sang at a concert with Thomas Allen last August during the annual BBC Proms. What a small world it is indeed!

I have this very recording! Thanks for posting!

[schweitzer006325]

@angloyank You're welcome! I don't have the whole recording alas (only excerpts) but Thomas Allen has simply got to be the best Captain Corcoran ever =)

[angloyank]

@schweitzer006325 Thomas Allen has great style! Excellent diction too.

Love Pinafore, especially this song. Sung beautifully.
