6107. Gilbert and Sullivan - When I Was a Lad
 |
| From: H.M.S. Pinafore; Year: 1878; Genre: Opera/Romance Period/classical |
Yesterday afternoon whilst passing time on the "Saturday Sloth" if you will I was enjoying listening and watching some of Gilbert and Sullivan's fun and comedic operas. Of course H.M.S. Pinafore was one of the chief ones, so I decided that I'd choose a song from it.
When I Was a Lad is one of those songs that you most likely have heard, or at least a part of at some point in your life; it's still that pervasive across most cultures even 145 years after it premiered. As with most of G&S's work, it is very, very catchy and will undoubtedly get lodged in your mind just by hearing it once.
