The first part of the video (my signature slide) is overlaid by the final bars of "The Brabançonne", which I played on my keyboard.
The main part of the song is one of Tom Lehrer's studio solo songs, "When You Are Old And Gray". It is part of Tom's first published album, "Songs by Tom Lehrer". But I obtained the actual music from the box set, "The Remains of Tom Lehrer", which was released in 2000. Enjoy.
And the 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.
Here's the description Tom Lehrer himself made about the three love songs in this album: "The love song is of course by far the most popular species of American song. Here are examples of three important subspecies: (1) the no-matter-how-moldy-and-decrepit-you-get-I'll-always-feel-the-same type ("When You Are Old And Gray"), (2) the tender ballad ("I Hold Your Hand In Mine"), and (3) the gay, lilting, Old-Vienna-ad-nauseam-gemütlichkeit waltz ("The Wiener Schnitzel Waltz")."
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:
