Your Morning Upper: So Lucky!
Mornings suck. So every morning, TNG brings you a fun video to help ease the pain.
Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders, the brains behind Ab Fab, will always crack me up. Their sketch comedy is just as funny as Ab Fab in its prime and this one is my favorite (opera nerd alert!). My roomie Josh and I just about died the first time we saw it at JRs on showtunes night and, thankfully, he found it online a short time later.
French and Saunders deliver perfect operatic send-ups, but what makes this music spoof so great is the details. First off, “I Should Be So Lucky” is a Kylie Minogue song from 1987 (this to the Brits is our “Like a Virgin”). Second off, that third singer, the one that can actually sing, is famous British opera singer Sarah Walker.
I have also played for conductors who look and act exactly like this guy.
For those with a bit more time to burn this morning, this is an excerpt from a 9-minute sketch. View the whole thing.

Yay. I’ve always thought this brilliant.
This is hysterical.
So… good… I have a feeling I’m about to go on an F&S youtube binge…
