History[edit]

When the Simpson family went to 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 saw 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 thought his new neighbor Walt Warren was Sideshow Bob in disguise, he and Milhouse, knowing of Bob's fondness for Gilbert and Sullivan, sang "Three Little Maids from School" to try 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]
