Disregarding the ethical concerns of poisoning pidgeons, it would be an effective way to breed a new population of pidgeons that don't rely on handout food. Hell, they're a foreign species to begin with XD
ROTFLMAO! i could see him skipping down the hall of a bank singing that while shooting everyone xDDDD then the scarecrow just throwing peanut shaped grenades at them X)
lol. this song is so morbid I have to love it. And those who take this song seriously: Do you take achmed the dead terrorist serious to? it's a joke song, that exists to in the music world ^^
Furadan (carbofuran) is devastating, EPA should ban that crap. But Noooo, farmers will throw a fit. I'm from Athens, Tennessee. The athens police and Parks Dept murdered my Black Labador Retriver, Sadie. They put out Furadan, obtained illegally, as bait in Athens Regional park to kill skunks and opussoms. In addition to some small critters, they killed my baby Sadie. Dirty Sum Beaches. God has a special reward for people like that.
This is a classic. I used to listen to these weird songs on the radio show Dr. Demento in the early 80's. Weird stuff, my fav is the song Fishheads. Oh wait, and shaaaa-ving cream, oh nice and clean.... :D
I will never ever let people poison pigeons i will murder the people who killed pigeons all must love these kind creatures!! All hail the great pigeon that will never get extinct!!
...I realized that I really just hadn't listened all the way through the CDs... this song (with orchestration) is in the 3-CD set! ^_^ Thanks for answering me, though!!!
Ghehe, i really like this song! It's so funny.. maybe a bit morbid.. BUT THAT'S THE BEST PART!!! xD I don't really get why a lot of people are saying this song is wrong or sick or whatever.. ?? It's just a song.. humor????
It's not against any religion, to want to dispose of a pigeon..
You've never lived in the city have you? Idiots like you feed the ever growing army of flying rats. It's so bad we have to hire people to shoot them with rubber pellets and put fake eggs in their nests.
When I was a kid I memorized most of Lehrer's stuff from records my Merkan cousins took with them to Switzerland.
Austrian comedian Georg Kreisler did "Tauben vergiften im Park" to a similar tune. I'm sure it was plagarized from Lehrer, just take the P-P-P-alliteration...
Hey all, On April 9, 08, Tom turns 80 -- let's have a Tom day!!
for anyone interested if you look up Dr. Demento CDs they have a lot of Lehrer's songs including the elements song and a lot of other crazy songs like this one on them
xD whaha brilliant.. My English teacher (I'm Dutch) put on this song one day.. When the song started we where like *wtf.. so happy?!*.. then he said the magic words.. "poisoning pigeons in the park".. I think I would have fallen from my chair laughing if I wasn't to flabbergasted (I like that word :P) to move.. than he gave us the lyrics and we sang it.. xD
Well, having looked at the Kreisler song, found the lyrics online, translated them, and compared, I can safely say there's no plagiraism here. The accompaniments have a slight similarity, but no more than other music hall-type tunes have. The actual sung tune is very different, with almost no points of comparison betwen them. The lyrics are also very different as well.
(cont.) The only thing they have in common is the theme of doing in pigeons in a park. Whilst it is possibel that Lehrer heard of Kreisler's song, liked the idea, and wrote a tune of his own along simlar lines, it is certainly not just a translation of Kreisler's earlier work. It could also conceivably be mere coincidence that two great satirists and songwriters came up with similarly-themed songs.
Tom lehre rox and he wrote this song in the fiftys and anyone says it was written by a German man in the sixtys is talking bulshit!!! it was and still is an awsome song by Tom Lehre! thankyou for letting me share this info with anyone who sees this vid
Very nice, but the video fails to mention that the music and original (German) lyrics are by the Austrian Georg Kreisler who wrote the song in 1960 ...

I hate pigeons with a passion and would be perfectly content if every single pigeon on earth were to painfully DIAF.
Seriously, they harbor parisites, disease, clog up streets and sidewalks, and like to shit upon everything in sight.
I mean, I'm all for preserving biotic diversity, but I wouldn't lose any sleep over the loss of this foul (ugh, bad pun) species.
We wiped out the Passenger Pigeons....we can do it again with the Rock Pigeon.
