@sheilagraber Thank you, though I won't do another video with G&S music, as it could get my account suspended. While the D'Oyly Carte recording I used is public domain in Germany, it apparently isn't in the US. Ahhh... the joys of international copyright law.

You did a great job, I clicked on the link, not expecting much, but then I got a great cartoon with the great John Reed singing! Thanks for posting!
Didn't 2 operettas get recorded on video in the late 70s? Was John Reed still with D'Oyly Carte then - it's pretty likely, and does anyone have these videos? I'd really love to watch him sing as I was only 4 when he quit the company and I live in Canada.

@shibb90 It said 2x+2=12. X being the unknown value. In this case it would be five ;)

Brilliant work!

2 things: in the video did it say 2+2=12? and does anyone have a link to the simpsons thing like this with homer and someone else?

I've watched this about 700 times and still crack up when I see the Major-General nearly poking out his eye with the javelin.
