    I can just see this as a Pixar movie…maybe with Heather Morris as Phoebe and Naya Rivera as Marigold.

    It’s a unicorn musical! Looks like she didn’t know she had an audience. Kinda like getting caught singing in the shower. Horses skip the singing and stick to dancing.

    Come on, Phoebe, you’re falling down on the job. A patter song needs a chorus.

    That’s from The Pirates of Penzance, an operetta by Gilbert and Sullivan. (Not to be confused with Gilbert O’Sullivan.)

    The song is sung by Major General Stanley.

    It does sing well to Gilbert & Sullivan’s “I am the very model of a modern major-general”

    I wonder how many of us, myself included, began singing this in our heads after the second panel.

    When talking, Marigold never compounds her words, such as “I’m” and “I’ve”. Singing has it’s own rules of vocabulary.

    Why is it I hear Danny Kaye’s voice when the Unicorn sings?

    and it is the 1st and possibly only and last time Marigold has used contractions. She must respect accurate quotation of songs over proper grammatical speaking.

    Turns out there are alternate pronunciations of “cuneiform,” one of which works pretty well here.I wonder if Dana would’ve thought of the flugelhorn if not for MLP:FIM.

    I wondered when the readership would start filking this comic. I’m surprised it took so long.
