About "H.M.S. Pinafore: Act 1: Hail! Men O'War's Men... I'm Called Little Buttercup (Edit)" by Gilbert & Sullivan
G&S's Buttercup sails in on a jaunty hornpipe, all saucy innocence and naval brass. The edit trims the rigging but keeps the wink: a Victorian music-hall charm that masks the operetta's undercurrent of class and courtship like a smile before the storm.
