Yesterday (7/15) was my birthday, and to congratulate myself and probably thousands of others in the world celebrating their most joyful day of the year, I added a few things to this video. See the paragraphs that start with "♫".
♫ The first part of the video (my signature slide) is overlaid by the final bars of "Happy Birthday to You", which I played on my keyboard.
The main part of the song is one of Tom Lehrer's studio solo songs, "Poisoning Pigeons In The Park". It is part of Tom's second published album, "More of Tom Lehrer". But I obtained the actual music from the box set, "The Remains of Tom Lehrer", which was released in 2000. Enjoy.
The pre-last part is the main theme of "The Phantom of the Opera", by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Simply the 'cherry on top', and my personal song.
♫ And the final part is a LEGO Mindstorms NXT birthday cake. I chose this because there are many people who love robotics and LEGOs, myself included.
Here's the description Tom Lehrer himself made about the song: "The generic college alma mater is epitomixed in "Bright College Days"; it is certainly not worth pointing out that in the second line there is an obvious "sight gag" (as they say in show biz), which can not, alas, be captured here."
Sorry I gave so much information about the music earlier. I don't want to get screwed by stupid WMG again. They are a bunch of arse-holes. And to make sure I am not screwed, have them read the following credits:
