"As someday it may happen that a victim must be found, I've got a little list, I've got a little list of society offenders who may well be underground, and who never would be missed"
I've searched for a lot of G&S stuff on the yousetube over the years, and these are, in my opinion, the best I could find. If you're a serious G&S fan, worth purchasing if you can.

Whoever guesses the song in the title first will win my next sticky!
As far as I know it is called: "I've got a little list."
It comes from The Mikado which is an operetta by Gilbert and Sullivan. They change the words to make them topical. Someone you may have heard of gets a mention near the beginning of this version: https://www.ncronline.org/file/ive-got-little-list-lyrics-mikado-gilbert-and-sullivan
Brilliant version!!

It's a must watch!
Nice job! I love Gilbert and Sullivan.

You win good sir!
Note: Australian Opera have done some of the best G&S versions in modern times. Really high level.
Are you talking about these?

Wow. Yeah. I managed to get one or two or three of those on the individual dvds from the local library (here in AUS) and ripped them.
The production is really, really slick, the modernization element very well done, creative costuming, and very well performed.
You can find snippets of these on youtube. Here's a very low-quality rip of the Mikado. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XIwxk1ETcI&list=PLYLgjdWZPfnpEYcD6IsNKlkW0HVVDyHCv

Ah, well. Time differences. Cannot be helped.
Tit willow, tit willow, tit willow....
The flowers that bloom in the spring, Tra la,
Have nothing to do with the case.
I've got to take under my wing, Tra la,
A most unattractive old thing, Tra la,
With a caricature of a face,
With a caricature of a face.
And that's what I mean when I say, or I sing,
"Oh, bother the flowers that bloom in the spring."
Tra la la la la,
Tra la la la la,
"Oh, bother the flowers of spring."

They'd never get away with The Mikado nowadays.

Very cool! I love their operas! It's awesome that you got to play all those roles.
And you know what? Even though the time difference got you, I find myself stickying your posts enough anyways. 🙂
