Arthur Sullivan was an English composer renowned, along with W.S. Gilbert, for his comic operas, including H.M.S. Pinafore and Pirates of Penzance.

History[edit]

When the Simpson family left for their safe house provided by the Witness Relocation Program, Lisa found a set of audio tapes in the car titled "The FBI Light Opera Society Sings the Complete Gilbert and Sullivan." During the drive, they sang "Three Little Maids from School" from The Mikado.[1]

When Homer found the free trampoline ad in the Springfield Shopper, one of the other items being given away was a Gilbert and Sullivan manuscript, the original draft of H.M.S. Pinafore.[2]

When Bart believed his new neighbor Walt Warren to be Sideshow Bob in disguise, he and Milhouse, knowing of Bob's fondness for Gilbert and Sullivan, sang "Three Little Maids from School" in an attempt to draw him out. The attempt failed. However, "Walt" later got Bart alone, revealed himself to be Sideshow Bob, and said, "And now I am free to sing all the Gilbert and Sullivan I damn well please!"[3]
