K&R

Seen #1 way back, but #2 is new... Both were great to remind us not to take everything so darn seriously (once in a while).

Laughter sure helps.
Ron Butler was GREAT!

other. Guilbert and Sullivan.

.... about Gilbert and Sullivan. (Or maybe I did and I forgot?)

called I believe HMS Pinafore. It is outstanding.

thanks for that.

I love DU.

Thanks, i needed that!!!!

when he is drunk and puts on a dress!!!

Sorry to Mitzie....but...

Thanks sheshe.. Tell him someone said that Pres Obama has stopped smoking, though!

However I will give him a heads up.

I sure would like to send PBO a link to the 2nd one! LOL

It might help him in his negotiations with Boehner! He would be thinking of Mitzie/ Boehner in a dress. He would have to try not to

when I read that he finally had stopped. It's about my biggest peeve in general.

Yeah, the second would be grand.. Ronnie feels like a lot of us about the so-called "fiscal cliff"..I love it!

They were both great...however the lyrics in 2 defiantly

Ron Butler is one talented Individual!

He totally rocked that!

...and yes Freshwest it was a beautiful place. It is one we all deserve!

H. M.S. Pinafore...but I think this tune...the top one is from Mikado?...correct???

Who were you?

and yes I think it was Mikado.

It was a wonderful play..
later I saw a professional version of Mikado...

I was also in a play called Arsinic and Old Lace....played cousin Teddy...
and...later I saw the 1943 version with Cary Grant...lots of fun..
I was in some other plays..too usually small parts..

then again it was only in grades 4-8. LOL

I was also the Arch Angel Gabriel in our Christmas Pagent...wings and all! Of course she got to be the Virgin Mary! Grade 4...ah me many years ago!

I loved Arsenic and Old Lace...Classic!

My favorite. Heck, they're all my favorite.

It fails to do justice to Ron Butler to describe him as Gilbert & Sullivan reincarnated in one black guy.

From the creds. at the end...Ronnie Butler Jr( His son I presume) wrote and directed. Talented family!

Does Ron look like PBO's twin or what!

Thanks Jackpine!

Ron Butler is a Jamaican guitarist, notable for his association and work with several reggae bands and artists including The Wailers and Israel Vibration, Morgan Heritage, Glen Washington, Steel Pulse, Eek-A-Mouse and Denroy Morgan.

He should not be confused with Ronnie Butler & The Ramblers or Ron Butler, musician/actor from the Bahamas.

Butler has been a professional musician for approximately 30 years and studied Jazz and Commercial Music at Five Towns College in New York.
Ron Butler played all the guitar parts on Denroy Morgan's hit, "I'll Do Anything For You" from the album by the same name as well as "Happy Feeling" and "Sweet Tender Love" from the same album. His first release was with The Naturals (Funky Rasta).

Butler also had a minor role in the movie "The Color Purple" as the bassist in the "Juke Joint" and also performed on two songs on the soundtrack. He last performed with Israel Vibrations as a member of the backing band "Roots Radics".

That's weird I called him Ron Butler Jr in my first post on him.. I guess I got it from the credits! I just read on your other post about the two Butlers.

I have been back and forth on his facebook page ...gotta say I am a newbie to it. Do not really understand how it works.

However He is also known as Ronnie Butler Jr. I asumed it was his son. Guess not. So Cha you are not wrong at all!

I started to post him and link him to the Fab. response that he got at DU! Then, correct me if I am wrong...it would have given out my name and facebook page. As I said I am new there. Only joined after near family disaster!

Thanks Cha!

You're doing grand for a newbie.. you're a natural and think how could you'll be by Jan 20, 2013~

Thanks for the videos.

Very well done.

In the style of Tom Lehrrer............This guy's good!

Both were genius. The first was a great parody, the second was great satire. The man is talent!

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]I remember the first one from a while back and, as we all should know, he really has quit smoking now.

The new one is absolutely priceless!

Mr. Butler is a very talented performer and I hope he does many more like these.

was sure to point it out that he has quit smoking. I was so happy about that!

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]I think a lot of us were very happy (besides Michelle and the girls) when he finally kicked the habit completely! Love the way the chorus in the video sang to give him a break, though.

(I love G&S parodies.)

No Problem with Pot, funny yeah however...the Vid not so sure. You decide!

I had to watch that one twice... No, thrice!

R& fucking K

Everybody else needs to do this, too.

Brilliant! Made my day!

It was Michelle correct! Your eye sight is far better than mine!

Thanks to you FailureToCommunicate!

cute is that!

Though I doubt it's the same one...

Totally appropriate! Totally funny.

Very well done.

No shit. This would have been great fodder for Romney to use.

And every parody-ee that has ever been conceived by man . . .
And though I can not car-ar-ry a tu-une even in a can . . .
I laugh my ass off any time I run across someone who can.

Talented dude. Following him on Twitter. Thanks for posting.

Hope we hear more from him.

That was really good.

Loved the Boo Boo Honey, white trash money...LOL!

Welcome to DU!

I loved that line too!

Sorry about the spelling of your name...my bad!

K&R!!

Not surprisingly, many of them are hard-core Republicans.

do much for me. a couple of laughs.

Officially uplifted. Thanks. Great stuff.

Another Tom Lehrer.

I think this Butler guy might be well on the way . . .

Kick and recommended!
