Watching Sherlock reminds me that Rupert Graves sang this adorable nonsense song in A Room with a View – one of my all-time favourite films.
‘However, we’re in E flat.’ ;)
It’s from Gilbert & Sullivan’s The Story of Prince Agib. The way the song is used in this particular scene I reckon serves to goad Lucy and anticipate Upcoming Events, LoL. ‘Let the piano’s martial blast / Rouse the echoes of the past’ – which is totally about to happen once Freddy invites George Emerson over
to Slashy Cornerfor tennis…Ooh, that’s one of my favorite parts of the movie, and I had no idea the song was from G&S. Also reblogging for Freddy’s floppy hair, of course.
Small correction: The Story of Prince Agib is one of W.S. Gilbert’s Bab Ballads. Arthur Sullivan was not involved.
(I assumed Lies would be on top of this.)
Alas, I was remiss. But if failing to catch the spurious Sullivan attribution is what it takes to pull you out of bloggy lurkdom, I’m glad for the error. :-)
