Actually, the lyrics are catchy, no matter what version you use.

Now I have all the songs in my head. :p

But I knew there was a reason I liked you — adapting Modern Major General is flipping awesome.

Well, obviously the reason you thought it was from Pinafore was the line:

I know the croaking chorus from The Frogs of Aristophanes!
Then I can hum a fugue of which I’ve heard the music’s din afore,
And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore.

That’s the line I usually get stuck in my head as well.

-Media Concepts – I know Village Green and the rest of the Kinks quiteb well although my favorite is probably Muswell Hillbillies.

Are you a fan of the Kinks and their songwriter, Ray Davies? Do you feel like you should have been born in England in the mid-19th Century? So does Ray, I think. Check out some lyrics from one of my favorites of theirs, “The Village Green Preservation Society”:

We are the Sherlock Holmes English speaking vernacular
Help save Fu Manchu, Moriarty and Dracula
We are the office block persecution affinity
God save little shops, china cups and virginity

-Melissa, what song does the fan play?

As for the cupcakes they were the super giant Crumbs kind.
