The song in this video was written by Lehrer as early as 1952 or 1953 (may be even earlier), years before an Austrian version appeared, for which Lehrer did not get any credit. Sometimes Lehrer himself would cover other people's songs, but they were always credited. "Poisoning Pigeons In The Park" is a true Tom Lehrer original.

Some people have written messages to this channel, angered because of the posting of this song. They are "friends of all animals", which basically means that they didn't get it.

Lehrer said that he is OK with "The Tom Lehrer Wisdom Channel" on YouTube, as long as the performance is not altered and as long as it's free in the YouTube flash video format.

@6funswede, I can't thank you enough for these videos. Knowing that Mr. Lehrer approves makes it all the more fun!

[6funswede]

@Paganforge, thank you, yes, when this forgotten and extremely rare recording first appeared on YouTube in 2007, Lehrer decided that he did not want to stop it. In 2010 Shout Factory! in the United States released the concert on a DVD, and -- to me -- The Tom Lehrer Collection is still the Christmas gift of all time.

@adequatelg2s I've found that bad ideologies do more damage in the hands of the pious than in the hands of the cynical.

The birds dropping mysteriously from the sky last year was no coincidence. It was Tom Lehrer clearing the clouds for when he's ready to go to heaven.
