Add Your New Review About The Song
The Reviews about Lobachevsky (page 1/1)
------ performed by Tom Lehrer
Izvestia | Reviewer: Curt Hoffman | 8/31/2008
The lyrics are all fine, but the second footnote has missed the point. In German, the phrase "Ich geh' wo der Kaiser geht zu fuesse" (an exact translation of the Russian) refers to the lavatory - to which the king, accustomed to being carried everywhere else, presumably had to go on his own feet. (No wonder the Izvestia review concludes, "It stinks!")
