| Oh, I dunno about G&S. It can't possibly be that audiences of the time wouldn't have wondered how Major General Stanley got all those many daughters - or how one of them blissfully falls in love with a little boy of five. Or who might have been a bit surprised at lyrics like "What a tale of cock" or perhaps when a philanderer sings "Be firm, be firm my pecker." (Well, of course, what else would rhyme with "exchequer" lol.) Or even at all those forbidden kisses that Yum-Yum and Nanki-Poo aren't (??) giving each other. And on and on. Anyone who thinks G&S is pure G-rated entertainment should look again...:-) |
