The most impressive thing about the Sideshow Bob rendition is how Kelsey Grammer matched the tone of the soloist in this version to the t. Seriously, watch both Bob and this and singing at the same time, they sound nearly identical. THAT is talent.

Great performance, his voice is amazing. In Sideshow Bob's version he sings Eeeeeeeen-glish-man keeping the Ee sound instead of slicing it as they do here, I guess I like it more when they keep the very long Eeeee sound
One of my favourite parts of “Chariots of Fire” is the montage showing Abrahams’ training with it ending in he and his fellow performers in a Uni production of G&S.
Oh how I would love someone to put the whole of this 1973 production on UA-cam. Even more, that it would be available on DVD. Thanks very much for this reminder.
Adoss shall rule all Yeah, it's hard to call someone a separatist when 40 something odd percent of their whole country voted for independence..And lost the vote because like 10 percent of Scotts are royal British ass kissers, forget what they're called, exactly..Love both cultures, though.
+Conor Sutherland The Scottish realised that if they became independent 50% of all company wealth would emigrate, Universities would be forced to charge high fees to students, the country would have no military defence, food prices would go up, and subsidies from England would disappear. In essence they noticed that being "Independent" (choosing autonomy, despite already being a separate state) meant being poor and defenceless.
That moment when you realize your DNA test results are in a Gilbert & Sullivan song...Mom was from England, Dad's family originally were from Prussia, have some Turkish, French, Russian and Italian.
Speaking of Sideshow Bob, he seems to have been a direct descendant of the Soundman character, played by Elliott Lewis, on the Burns & Allen radio show, in 1940-1941. Same Ivy League education, same gorgeously rich upper-class voice, same grumbling about having to work in a menial job that's far beneath him. His catchphrase was, "Four years at Harvard, and all I do is THIS!", as he opens and closes the sound-effects door. You can listen to clips on YT.
This is the silliest nonsense iever saw. Love it! Just saw the simpsons halloween episode where lisa slaughters sideshow bob to this and i needed to find out where that music came from.
'Henglishman' ? Two possible reasons, 1. he needed an extra letter for it to fit the music, 2. he's making a point about class. The lowest social orders often dropped the 'h' at the beginning of a word and sometimes tried to fit in with the more educated classes by putting the 'h' back on, exaggerating it, and even putting it on words beginning with a vowel.
I think reason 2 is more likely. I've heard that Cockneys add h's on to words where they don't belong. Reason 1 doesn't make much sense since both "Henglish" and "English" have the same number of syllables. Adding the h doesn't stretch out the word. He definitely WAS trying stretching out the word Italian. I'm from Italian extraction myself and it's greatly to my credit. : ) I've liked the song ever since I heard it in "Chariots of Fire". The rest of the movie is extremely boring though. The music was the best part.
I didn't look this up. It was recommended to me..... only because i watch sideshow bob sing it a day before. Surprise, look whats in my recommended today.
If anyone remembers the hand that rocks the cradle they sing this song at the very beginning. And then you can just about hear it in the background when Emma Michael and Peyton are playing a game and Clare is going up stairs
After Sideshow Bob’s version, this is kind of a letdown
Yes!
Bob's voice actor did it better IMHO
Yeah, but it's good too.
Lol
RIGHT??
Sideshow Bob brought me here.
Don't know how many times I've seen that episode, but this time brought me here too.
Same. Prefer Bob's rendition tbh
And is still bringing people to this like me . XD
Me too, ShaiyaStudios!
Me too
Lets be honest.
This wasn't in your recommended, you searched it up because of the Simpsons.
With Simpsons being my only reference, I've not known what this musical is about for probably 15 years or so. Still a great song tho

nope. :P Liked this song. Heard it in The West Wing.
It was in my recommended... Because I've searched for the Sideshow Bob version a few times.

The fact that 7 other people found this joke to be funny underscores the difference between American humor and British humor.
Brilliant and so true coming from an Englishman.

This was the conversation between a French diplomat to the man who would eventually be Prime Minister, Viscount Palmerston.

It's because a crescendo sounds nicer than cutups
I feel like the staccato notes are a reference to something Handel would have done, the Brits just adore him

I am I-tal-i-an (Italian American to be precise) and damn proud of it. However, if I had to be any other nationality, it would undoubtedly be English.
The police is the governments way of using force on its own. The military is for using force against foreigners.
If I weren't English...I'd like to be English too
me too (italian - bolivian) and i would have to be an englishman in other life
shutup dummy
mi sa che di italiano avete poco se parlate così...
According to one of my sources inside the West Wing, this is from Pirates of Penzance...
No it is the one about duty and honer.
They're all about duty.
You need better sources. It's from HMS Pinafore.
