The Modern Major-General's Song (Dictionary AMV Version)

[shadowgirl32]

rofl, VeggieTales! =D

[Terrhor]

Agreed. salarians are the shit

[ROFLmao35216]

Each time I hear this song I imagine saving the galaxy from the reapers...

[QuirkyEclipse]

I decided to compliment before saying anything that might be insulting. Good job! It's a neat slideshow, funny at points, and an excellent rendition of the song.

And the irony is, the picture up at "simple" equations is actually the equation used to find the zeros (in which y=0) of "quadratical" equations. And that he can whistle a fugue, which consists of multiple voices xD.

[streetwhereulive]

@spiderbob Sorry. I tried to tell you. LOL!

[MRTUPAC28]

Lmao wow

[11111110]

How can you call it an AMV? Theres no anime involved

[Coffeevaccine]

Oh my. I can't sing that fast. But I will: I need to memorize this song for the performance. :)

[Zoras88]

wait, pizza's a mineral? and we've been doing it the hard way for years!

[OldWorldAmerican]

When they find me laying on the ground in a pool of blood, pistol in hand and a smirk on my face, this great tune will be playing on repeat. Our law enforcement community would appreciate a good laugh.

[Amethystasheryn]

I love all the stealthy jokes they slipped in here. This is a brilliant song. :) I think my goal over this summer is going to be to memorise it; I'm not an actor by any means but it's just such an incredibly fun, challenging song! :)

[reapernator64]

how long did it take to google all of that?

[V75horrifier]

was this performed by the Micro Machines guy's cousin or something? (just kidding. I know who does this.)

[swat715]

Wow, towards the end this guy starts talking crazy fast.

[IggySquid]

I memorized this song when I was 7. Partly because I watched the film about 70000 times. =P

[MyChemFanForeva]

We're doing this for a play in my school and my boyfriend is the Major General. He loves this song haha. He can go faster than he supposed to... haha. I'm Mabel!

[HGM1138]

The Major General this was based on, ironically enough, loved this song. He would sing it to amuse his family at parties and family events. It was the Viscount Garnet Wolseley who Sir Arthur Sullivan and Sir William Gilbert based Maj. Genl. Stanley on.

[1118tj]

I can see Stewie Grifin singing this. ^ ^

[Carboose957naptime]

My names Commander Shepard and this is my favourite song in the universe

[PeterBluth]

I love that Gilbert and Sullivan made fun of themselves in this song.

[Indubidubly4]

lol I've written a version about anatomy god help us all and it's even harder than this one to sing... I <3 this song!

[Truthiness231]

nerdPoints++ for the use of Mel's History of the World Part 1 for the word "history" ^.^

[streetwhereulive]

@Supermassively LOL!!!!

[streetwhereulive]

@Supermassively See! I told you so!

[MugenSniperGeek]

@streetwhereulive XDDD 'late night intimacy' That's one situation I hope I never have to face, singing this during an intimate moment

[streetwhereulive]

@MugenSniperGeek ROTFLMBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Daemonhunter17]

I like Mordin's version more :)

[LadyBarricade]

@Daemonhunter17 someone should make a video of Mordin singing the whole song :D That would be awesome

[Anthonyk312]

I swear he's making most of this up. There's no way he knows all that.

[8kray1]

[rowlocks99]

[LordFancourt]

I'm doing this song too for an event. Love this version with all the great graphics to go with it. Good job!

[peskylisa]

"Many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse" God, that line just echoes in my brain over and over till........AAAAAAAAAAAAgghhhh­! LOL!

[NamedTube]

I learnt to sing this not for a play but just for lols.

[gabifjazz]

Haha I had to sing it in a play to! It wasn't for Pirates of Penzance thought we did out own little play and stuck this song in. Its really easy once you work at it and then you sing it everywhere and impress people lol

[punepa]

I had to sing this in a play :D Sang it perfectly at a bit faster pace!

[sargentaaron2004]

@punepa Don't lie scumbag, if you sang it any faster people wouldn't understand you it'd sound like an annoying clicks and gasps.

[Xeahast]

LOL I couldn't even sing this along with the lyrics in front of me

[yozarian1]

I can never remember more than the first few verses of this lol, ive tried, just cant do it.

[supernole100]

I have just about memorized this whole song!!!

[ProdigyStepper]

@supernole100 just memoize in parts took me four days

[streetwhereulive]

@supernole100 You know, I should have pointed out that I have been in a busness meeting, and court proceedings, but it's been a long dry spell on that last thing.

[scalerscaler]

@supernole100 Same here, it took a while but i did it.

[gaiyagaiyagaiya]

wats up

[gaiyagaiyagaiya]

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

[SalienaLovesPigz]

I am trying out for this part in my school play, we are making it very funny so girls are allowed to play guy parts. Alothough I am the only girl going for a guy part but oh well. I am sining this sogn for the tryouts. . . oh jeeze

[mur1oc]

where is this song from? I have been wondering about it for a long time

[Programmer8922]

The Pirates of Penzance by Gilbert and Sullivan.

[MichaelCrawfordsFan]

My favorite song ever in this show.

[Kdrashma]

Mine as well. I'm playing him at my school. I'm so excited!

[remmidemmiyippie]

is it right that tom lehrer uses this melody for his song "the elements"

[ebenezerstick]

Correct!

[ignorantpom]

Indeed.

[lee11991964]

A classic G+S song, thank you for posting it.

[gildavis]

Very well put together. George Rose's performance of this role is the best you'll find anywhere. I'm glad he lived in a time when it could be properly captured.

[DCLeadboot]

Heh, heh... good old Gilbert & Sullivan!

I always love that one!

[GORATPHUQ]

i like the ANIMANIACS VERSION

[consexualsense]

The thing about Caractacus was a joke... He and his men went into battle naked.

[LaraElena]
