  • Still makes me lol after all these years :)

  • I'm gonna play this song really loudly at my wedding!

  • G&S didn't write parlour songs. The musical style isn't even similar.

  • @teddyleevin91 Did you listen to the whole thing? How familiar are you with G&S anyway? The harmonies are more modern, but the syntax & structure match quite well, for a piss-take.

  • @bethra13

    I am very familiar with G&S, and I did watch the whole thing several times. I've been in all 13 G&S operas each on more than one occasion, even directing and conducting a few. Everything about this, words & music are of a much later style. They do quote music from Iolanthe and the Mikado in this, but then they always segue into something that sounds more Noel Coward than Sullivan. It's still funny, but I still don't see the connection with G&S.

  • Download link doesn't work

  • For serious G+S fans...

  • My boys, gosh I love them, and miss them.

  • who cut out what tim was saying?

    anywho DAAS was the best comedy act in the 20th century!!!!

    xx

  • Wonderful stuff!!

  • "Loudly let the trumpets bray..." & "Loudly bang the sounding brasses..." are from G&S 'Iolanthe'. Its obscure, but not lost.

  • lol i totally agree, both shows are fantastic, i have the cd of the last Australian show they did and its just a good. Just a shame DAAS KAPITAL hasnt been released to DVD yet.

  • Live at the National Theatre is in my opinion a funnier show, but you need to be born pre 1980 to have a chance of getting a lot of it. Dead and Alive is very good too though.

  • "Will you staple-gun my genitals to the wall"?

  • @quizmaster85 Only because you asked so nicely :)

  • this is amazing.

  • why isn't all comedy this clever?

  • @akilimatsu .it is but ur not as smart 2 understand it lol
