speed singing - Modern Major General - w/encore

This is a clip of a production of the "Pirates of Penzance" in which I portrayed the Major General. This video shows the performance of the famous song: "I Am The Very Model Of A Modern Major General".

What a brilliant performance, you really bring the character alive. It's the best version on YouTube. ;)

I love it when you ask the conductor to rhyme something with strategy. XD!

im doing this musical in the spring, i did my audition 2 days ago, and finding out the results tom., and i have to say, u did an excellent job with this song.... and the custom verse at the end was marvelous, i truly dont think anyone at my school would be able to do that, lol. good job!!! bravo.

@poke4518 , thanks for the kind words. good luck with the cast list. it is a fun show to do especially since the time period almost requires over the top character portrayals. good luck!

Nice addition of the custom lyrics at the end. Well done!

[skymastr16]

Fantastic custom lyrics. Pirates is being considered for our school's musical this year, and I'm spending my free time memorizing this song. Quite a challenge to both keep up to tempo, fake an accent AND sing in key.

I love this Major General. And I love how it's sooo camp. Wonderful.

Hmmm just thought I'd point out that you messed up with an annotation ;o the annotation says "Then I can find a place on "Bay" to find you food thats edible" although in the performance you said "Then I can find a place on "Bay" that serves you food that's edible" ... ;o Sorry just thought I'd point it out...ANYWHO This is driving me insane I LOVE IT!!

Very well done (video and sound quality are iffy, but it gets the job done). Thanks for sharing!

[incandemon]

[MrMcMusic01]

[michellefrombahamas]

I am just about to sit down and write the custom lyrics for my own school's production of "Pirates". Thank you for being part of my inspiration! This is great!
