HMS Pinafore (with most of G&S's musicals) was always meant to be a comedy. What's wrong with updating it for a modern audience?

Much prefer Sideshow Bob's version

OMG! A fitting update for a fine old song! Grew up with the divine D'Oly Carte (i KNOW the spelling is wrong) version, but this gives it a fitting for the money, and one every worthy sailor and his mother would bet on, :-)

sideshow bob was far better.

@cnbr85 There's a difference between updating and dumbing down. This is not updating. This is stripping away all musical integrity.

That Kiwi accent peeking through at 0:48 (when she says 'though I can never tell why') just doesn't work at all, it's grating on my ears!
