I had the following video in
Randy Rainbow sings 'A Very Stable Genius Part Two!' for Wayback Wednesday, but replaced it with one from the stage.
Modern Major-General | The Pirates of Penzance | TUNE.
When the Pirates of Penzance attack Mabel (Linda Ronstadt) and her sisters, their father, the Major-General, arrives! What is The Pirates of Penzance (1983) about? Frederic (Rex Smith), who has spent his formative years as a junior pirate, plans to mark his 21st birthday by breaking free from the Pirate King (Kevin Kline) and beginning his courtship of Mabel (Linda Ronstadt). But because he was born on Feb. 29, a date that only arrives every fourth year, Frederic isn't technically 21 -- and the Pirate King is still his master. Unless something gives, Frederic will soon be on a collision course with the Pirate King's new nemesis: Mabel's father.
Randy didn't include the parts where he rhymes himself into a corner then has to rhyme himself out. That would have been even funnier, but apparently it's only in this movie. The original didn't have those, and it's the original Randy is parodying.
