I've Got a Little List (with lyrics) / The Mikado / Gilbert and Sullivan 

The Mikado was written as a parody of British institutions in the 19th century, disguised at the time by putting it in Japan. This is a light hearted tribute made relevant to the 21st century.

You can always get an interesting feel of a time and place by observing what they put into their I've Got a Little List song.

My wife asked me why I kept listening to the same song over and over again...until I pointed out that the words were different each time. This one is the best.

This send up is exactly what Gilbert and Sullivan had in mind

"And that opera house in Florence that owes me 10,000 quid." Is that a reference to something?

By no means an original joke, but true nonetheless: "You can tell just about everything you need to know about a society based on who they put on their 'Little List' song."

I had no idea so many Family Guy songs were covers

As slow as the tempo is, the lyrics are really funny.

the blonde maid is either desperately holding back laughter or doing a very good impression of doing so. awesome.

Capitalist Communist You're all on my list

This song really makes me wish that I had talent, I would want to do a version where I would work my way through the spectrum and try to seat people accordingly so that by the end I would have offended everyone and everything you can think off. Imagine hearing a room filled with laughter that went like a horseshoe.

I had the immense good fortune to see this production at ENO. Richard Suart should be a national treasure. He is absolutely amazing

It's not necessarily the cattchiest G&S song, but it's definitely my favourite for the amount of customisation different companies do for the location and times.

He forgot one... The guy who watched the Simpson's back in 1994

How about that guy who watched Family Guy way back in 2004 and won’t admit the damn thing isn’t funny anymore.

I saw this last night when Richard Suart did a concert called, "A Matter of Patter" on my local island. He's absolutely brilliant in his portrayal of many colourful characters including dear Ko-ko.

I always love how this song is designed to change lyrics based on the pop culture of the time period in which it is performed. Imagine if this was performed in 2020, Koko would say something like “Those who claim COVID-19’s a hoax, yet spread in our midst, Damn right they’re on my list. Hell no, they won’t be missed.” Lol 😂

We can always add the self-deprecating "All people who change up the shows that others know by heart, they rewrite all the lyrics with less meaning than a fart".

He looks like John Cleese playing that guy from _The Lorax_ .

desperate for a new Mikado production - so many opportunities with Test and Trace pings, Dido Harding, CV19 managers and more to be added to the list.

Always been on my list! Come on ENO, let's have the full opera, and reciprocate Richard Suart's loyalty to this production.

*hears the bit mocking trump* *looks at release date* Well. That aged well.

How about those who watch opera on RU-vid?

An absolutely stupendous and brilliant production from start to finish. This but one of the gems.

Love how the pace allows the listener to appreciate the lyric.

Excellent production NOT TO BE MISSED

I love his little list! 😀

is there a place I can buy a HD copy of this production?

A friend of mine took her husband to the Coliseum for his birthday early this month and absolutely loved it. She had now heard the original. I want to hear the original list as written by William Schwenck Gilbert.

Another comic propaganda from the Pidoras.

Mikado u always cheer me up

This song 🎧never gets old lol 😂😝!

Watched this after Family Guy.

He kind of looks like O'Hare from The Lorax (2012) which makes this even funnier to me.

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 might well be underground And who never would be missed, who never would be missed There's the white kid with the baggy clothes who's talking like he's black The girl you date who doesn't get the jokes in “Caddyshack” The Asian guy who cuts in front of every single line And Britney Spears for accidentally showing her vagine And Bill O'Reilly's ineffective dermatologist They'd none of them be missed, they'd none of them be missed Secret Service Men: He's got them on the list He's got them on the list And they'd none of them be missed They'd none of them be missed Stewie: There's the guy behind the news reporter waving like a fool And Senator Bill Frist, I've got him on the list And the fat kid smiling warmly while he's peeing in the pool He never would be missed, he never would be missed There's the foul-smelling boy who comes to school in camouflage And every bleeding member of the cast of “Entourage” And while we're on the subject, HBO deserves a whack For ending The Sopranos with a fucking cut to black! And guys who when you shake their hand just bump you with their fist I don't think they'd be missed. I'm sure they'd not be missed Secret Service Men: He's got them on the list He's got them on the list And they'd none of them be missed They'd none of them be missed Stewie: There's the guy who sits beside you and keeps farting on the plane And Shakira's lyricist. I've got him on the list And the smarty on Thanksgiving who says, "It's the trip-toe-fane!" (tryptophan) He never would be missed, he never would be missed There's the blonde who tells you loudly with a voice just like a knife [falsetto] "You know, someone should do a sitcom based around my life!" [normal voice] The guy who watched "The Simpsons" back in 1994 And won't admit the damn thing isn't funny anymore Stewie and Secret Service Men: And anyone And every one... Who's ever... Made me pissed! Secret Service Men: Made me pissed! Made me really really pissed! Stewie: I've got them on the list They'd none of them be missed Secret Service Men: They'd be none, they'd be... They'd be none, they'd be none of them be missed Secret Service Men: He's got them on the list He's got them on the list And they'd none of them be missed... Stewie: They'd none Secret Service Men: None of them... Of... None of them... Them... None of them Stewie & Secret Service Men: Be... Missed! Basso Profundo Secret Service Man: None of them be missed!

theres the uk prime minister whos clearing our national debt but her counter productive methods havent delivered results quite yet

I like the Japanese setting more

Family guy bought me here.

Having done the same in my time with the home of the NYT, getting the music heritage restarted (I was rewiring an entire lighting bar which blew just as the overture started, on the first night and finished as the last bar played) after Britten wrecked it ten years earlier, it's even more fun to write than it is to perform - and we changed the words daily!

This is funny but I'm not sure about the Scottish separatist line.

Absolutely wonderful.

...the lyrics for this particular song have been adjusted since 1908 to allow for changing politics, society issues, tastes, etc., with the blessings of Gilbert, Sullivan, and D'Oyly Carte; Mr Suart was the usual ENO lead in all their G&S productions, and has written a book of all of his "Little List" lyric adjustments over the years.

Diana rigg doesn’t fit in with the metre. However the words we all think of before he says it, do.

Just another K will make things about right

Philip k Dick send me here

Will there be a return of this opera this or next year? Just found Mikado and I love it!

Trump!

There used to be a full video recording of this performance on RU-vid and now I can't find it anywhere, does anyone know where I can find it? It's my absolute favorite version.

Ohhh! - we were watching this in our local cinema and it brought the house down...happy daze...

If you're always stealing goodies from a big department store, you need an analyst, a psychoanalyst.

LOL! As a recovering alcoholic I consider NA Beer a godsend - but hearing Jeremy Clarkson referred to right after that cracks me up! Even if I do faithfully watch THE GRAND TOUR on Amazon Prime...

Thank you 🙏🏻

Oh but we miss Trump indeed!

The zodiac killer brought me here

I believe they made a Trump referance

00:26 - Jeremy Clarkson...?

I just saw him in this in October; and he had added "that Blonde in Downing Street" and also Priti Patel, the Home Secretary. Very funny and timely!

Why aren’t they wearing Japanese costumes?

Who is this actor? He's so good

Anyone else here because of Family Guy?

...Scottish seperatist...Nicola Sturgeon.

I don't suppose there is a recording of this run available? I have searched the web and can't seem to find a place to purchase it.

Azimov?

...only reason for the slow tempo is the slow presenter; give an old man a break.

I’m here from family guy

So much better when the speed is set to 1.25

I like the little references to the modern world. xR

I can’t believe this is a real song! I guess Family Guy doesn’t make anything up.

They missed a good 'pissed-missed' rhyme for the Russian drug test bit

Was this, by any chance, one of those productions simulcast in cinemas? :)

Ehh... Stewies better

I came here to say that I am still fond of the Eric Idle /Lesley Garret version.

Ohhh, this is where Stewie got the song from..

Ehh... Its ok i guess

God this is beautiful

So this was from the Mikado, originally? I remember a similar song in Family Guy.

I thought of Family Guy did this?

🎶🎵 “There’s the assclown who wraps a tiny item in several boxes as a gift, the roommate whose car keeps breaking down and always needs a lift.”

I didn't know this came before family guy

Ha ha lol!😀😄😆🤣

Yeah... you can cover this song based on the pop culture on the era

This would so suit Trump now.

Brilliant 🤣

Ha ha lol 😂😆!

The singer looks like mr. o hare air from the Lorax

Mitchell Butel did it better...

Wow! Bravo! Maggio Musicale pagaloooo! :)

Vile

Where can I buy this specific recording/version in HD?

Is this on DVD ?

Family Guy, anyone......?

Opera in cinemas called out lol

sie sind auf meiner liste really kicks a notch

How is it that whenever think i found every song Family Guy used in their show that was actually taken from somewhere else, another one shows up

Superb

The Lib Dems, thank you sir. 😁you've done America a huge favor. 😁😂😂😂

First Shipoopi then Mr. Booze and now this. Can family guy come up with their own songs?

I suspect that the tone of voice for KoKo was established very early in the presentations of the Mikado.

When it takes three minutes to read it I don’t think it counts as a little list anymore
