We are Most Amused
This comes from the same, aforementioned charity gala on behalf of Prince Charles's 60th birthday in 2008. As I wrote here, it went by the name, We Are Most Amused, and had one of those all-star casts, made up up of English performers and several from this side of the water. (You'll see them all during the curtain call.) But as grand as the evening was, it's hard to imagine anything topping this. Which is probably why they kept it for last. It's a wonderful song you'll know, but this may well be the greatest rendition of it.
Stick with the video. Being on behalf of crown and country, with some of the Royal Family in their presence, there needed to at least be a passing offer of high-art, and much as I'm not crazy about ballet, they're talented, and it doesn't go on terribly long, knowing that the evening is winding down. But stick through it, that's how the video is edited. It will be worth the wait.
