Peter Paul and Mary, I Have A Song to Sing O

[Drowfighter7]

oh ya, grew up listening to this, still rocking out to them in 2012

[bhoycatalqan39]

ok.naman cila .bata pa ako gusto kona manga kanta nila alos lahat maganda maalala mo ang manga nakaraan mo sabuhay.

[bethkammerer]

Wow...in Sydney, Australia no less!!

[frantor1937]

Who the hell cares what year it was recorded in - its just a wonderful new approach

to a classic G & S composition - get a life you plebs

[startrekkin1701]

Wow, what a gem! So glad I found it.

[meebee2beebee]

i think 1970, right?

[msalebeard]

It's on the Peter Paul and Mommy album.

[dwhicher]

I love this too. It's from the Album Peter, Paul and Mommy. Can't find the date but I would say 1967...

[wqsr4o]

TOP 40 CAN'T TOUCH THIS!!!!!

[lskarin]

This song by PP&M combines first act & reprise in the second. First act has the troubodours performing with no context. The second has deeper meaning. Jack the jester and Elsie are the traveling pair. Jack is in love with Elsie and thinks eventually they will pair. Unfortunately for Jack, Elsie is taken (figuratively & literally) from Jack by Colonel Fairfax who is a bit of a jerk.

I don't fully understand Gilbert and his delineation of heroes and villains.

PhD in there for someone.

[MmeZeeZee]

I know this one from Peter, Paul and Mommy. I love it.

[prchristman]

I am a Gilbert and Sullivan enthusiast, otherwise known as a Savoyard. In many ways, I'm a purist. Well, this purist was absolutely entranced by this version. I love it. I wish Peter, Paul, and Mary had made a Gilbert and Sullivan album. Maybe I'm not such a purist. Danny Kaye recorded G&S songs with cleverly altered lyrics, and Hot Mikado toyed with G&S's perhaps best-known operetta. I adored them too.

[teceyS3]

i love it- such amazing performers!

[GlorifiedTruth]

How awesome, my two favorites combined--PP&M and G&S!

[indigoziona]

I love this, and am listening to it on repeat :)

[LarzF91]

@ sourisvoleur

it was 1970 :)

[cscomo]

MostIngenious - PP&M did record it. It was on "Peter, Paul and Mommy", a great children's album that's also great for grown ups! I know this because I had the album as a child when it first came out and loved this song.

[ZoeBrain]

1970 - I was in the audience, just behind the stage.

[sourisvoleur]

@ppmsk -- thank you!

[peterdaniel66]

This was done I believe in 1970

[sourisvoleur]

What year was this taped?

[cschoon1213]

@ sourisvoleur ,

I am sorry, I do not know the year. :-(

[giraffeman3705]

@cschoon1213 1970

[ppmcsk]

@sourisvoleur This concert was recorded in 1970!!

[ROO261]

@sourisvoleur I believe this would have been in 1970.

[jackthesedays]

@sourisvoleur 1970

[DrunkenSeveredHead]

@sourisvoleur: I think this concert was held in 1970.

[ZoeBrain]

@sourisvoleur - 1970. I was in the audience.

[Tebbek]

@sourisvoleur the boys still had hair and the beard era was the late 60's to the mid 70's

[MostIngenious]

This is a great version. If they'd recorded it, it may well have been G&S's only Top 10 hit!

[cschoon1213]

@ MostIngenious ,

LOL. That is funny !

I can hear it now on Top 40 radio....."And Noooow, GILBERT AND SULLIVAN'S GREATEST HIT !!! ".

[sourisvoleur]

@MostIngenious If they had recorded it, and it was their only hit, their record company would still release a 20-song CD called "G&S's Greatest Hits"

[psychedelicinvasion]

@MostIngenious:

They did record it. :P It is on their 1969 album "Peter, Paul and Mommy". :)

[e123000beta]

@MostIngenious

Actually, they did record it. I can't remember where, unfortunately, but I actually have it on cd somewhere. Alas, Gilbert and Sullivan usually don't do well on top 40 radio.

[andxbexmerry]

@MostIngenious They did record it...it's on their Peter, Paul & Mommy album, released in 1969. :) My son and I love to listen to it. :)

[baldevis]

This would be good to sing for the benefit of the Haitians, since their country is mentioned so many times in the lyrics.

[nelsonwilby]

THANK YOU. this is a FIND.

i love it.

[cschoon1213]

Glad you found it !

LOL

[cbhagman]

I had no idea PP&M had sung this. It's one of my favorites from G&S. Thanks for posting.

[cschoon1213]

You are welcome !

Yes. I really love this rendition they did.

[jeffl56]

Really nice to see this rare video...

[cschoon1213]

Yes. I am happy that you have enjoyed it.

Many folks have viewed these PP&Mary videos since I have put them up and it makes me glad that people can enjoy them as I have. Peace !

[MichiganTreasure]

By far the best version of this song ever done.

[cschoon1213]

I agree! I never tire of listening to this song!

~~~ Chuck

[bujurpb]

I am not sure that it is even the best version of this song on youtube but it was very engaging and enjoyable.

[cschoon1213]

I agree !

[googolian]

ditto

[drummerlead]

This song from PP & M was one of my first musical memories! I grew up listening to them too! Even maybe listened to them when I was still inside my mom!

[cschoon1213]

Mary was such a beautiful spirit. I love her and hope she will be happy in Eternity.

[Starshadow]

My Mum and I used to sing this. I have loved PP&M since we were all young, and I never heard this...must be the dedication of the Opera House?

Gods, Mary, we're all missing you terribly. Go with the gods. You're loved and you made a difference in the world.

[Chishannicon]

I am seriously obsessed with their version of this song...

[cschoon1213]

I am seriously obsessed with all of their songs !

LOL.

Glad you like it ! ~~~ Chuck

[Muzyka2007]

Great song, great channel! Thanks.

[KyranGeraghty]

Lovely! Clearly in Sydney, but when? They have never aged!!

[cschoon1213]

This was done way back in I think the late 1960s. Yes. I LOVE this cute song ! The original recording is wonderful. ~~~ Chuck

[LinziSimons]

I love this song!!!
