The reason I latched on to the G&S filk is that "I am the Very Model of a Modern Major General" is one of the most filked songs in the history of filks out goes originality, and one might even say that riffing the song creates the exact opposite of the fresh and daring impression Danny and Matt were trying to create, but also because you don't have to go very far to find versions of the song that are funnier and a great deal more clever than what Sorkin came up with - see my four examples for a tiny taste.
