I saw this on Hulu and started laughing hysterically because a bunch of kids from my school did a Pirates vs/& Peanuts: A Gleeful Musical Review that the art center here put together just last month, and I had to do the spotlight for it. This is one of my favorite songs from it! x3
not to nit pick, but the song he is singing is actually from "pirates of penzance" which is a gilbert and sullivan *operetta* not a musical. just saying :)
Those are so not the lyrics. This song is from a musical called The Pirates of Penzance. The lyrics are "I am the very model of a modern major general. I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral. I know the kings if England and I qoute the fights historical from marathon to Waterloo, in order catergorical."
That's the first verse. Fell free to look up the rest, it's a very witty play.
I don't understand why we're given the premise that this guy loves musicals, and he is performing this song from a show he clearly loves... but somehow doesn't know the tune or the words to it. It's poor writing.
@rolandbutter88 maybe he's having difficulty balancing the singing and the dancing, maybe he loves watching and listening to musicals but only dabbles in the actual performance of them.
this is hysterically funny. Best part is when he forgets the words but continues tapping his feet. ROFL.
