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.

I bet 6funswede is Tom Lehrer in disguise.

[6funswede]

Nope, I´m from Scandinavia and I don´t even know English very well. Hvis du er fra Norge, Sverige eller Danmark er det lettere å snakke med deg.

[Puppiesrock687]

......... Is it just me.... Or does he look like the dad from that old horror movie, "Parents"?....O-o

[6funswede]

Never thought about it, ha ha, what a funny suggestion about Lehrer (of all people). He skipped that bit about marriage, children and divorces.

The fact that it bothers you is all the amusement the rest of us need.

[therealzilch]

Nope, I'm not from either of these countries. I live way below Scandinavia, in Romania. Sadly, Tom Lehrer is not very well known here.

The most perfect example of the sweet union of sadism and musical finesse.
