I'd like to introduce now the featured artist of this page. I'm sure that you'll all agree without any hesitation that Tom Lehrer is the most brilliant creative genius that America has produced in almost 200 years, so perhaps a few words of biographical background might not be amiss. Endowed by nature with perhaps the most glorious baritone voice to be heard on an American stage since the memorable concert debut in 1835 of Millard Fillmore; endowed also with twelve incredibly agile fingers; Mr. Lehrer has had a long and varied career in the field of entertainment starting with nine years at Harvard University... where it was that he first decided to devote his life to what has since become a rather successful scientific project -- namely, the attempt to prolong ad More...

Your twisted | Reviewer: none of your business ------ About the song Poisoning Pigeons In The Park performed by Tom Lehrer I think u should b poisend and see how u like it. Ya thats what i thought, you wouldnt would u. I also dont think well maybe your family would like it either. So heres what i think i think u should STOP poisining these BEAUTIFUL creatures before someone poisions u k and no thats NOT a threat Brilliance! Sick, twisted, perhaps... but brilliant! | Reviewer: Noah Brown ------ About the song Poisoning Pigeons In The Park performed by Tom Lehrer I am a child of 15, and have recently been introduced to Tom Lehrer by word of mouth. The rhymes are very catchy and not the least bit forced.... trust Tom Lehrer for that. ("Cyanide" and "run-and-hide", for example.) It is what I call "dark humor"- morbid and macabre, yet everyone takes it lightheartedly. The song is not intended to encourage the systematic slaughter of pigeons.... :-). Being a singer myself, I have performed this on several occasions. Combine a happy, carefree tune, the universal love of spring, and a maniacal narrator who enjoys slaughtering pigeons, and you have a mix of genius and hilarity that only great artists like Tom Lehrer can create. (And did I mention that he is a brilliant pianist? If you haven't heard it performed, search for it on You Tube and you will most likely find some interesting results.)Don't take it too seriously- just enjoy it while it lasts. coooool | Reviewer: molly ------ About the song Poisoning Pigeons In The Park performed by Tom Lehrer i think that it is a very funny song its funny mad and diffrent. Some peole have said its sick, well they need to lighten up. ITS A JOKE for goodness sake (its not as if pigens can hear it any way. ahem | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Poisoning Pigeons In The Park performed by Tom Lehrer all you animal rights people need to stop being so focused on that and start focusing on your education..to the people that find this funny you almost have it.. this song is completely satirical and if you didnt know that than you are an idiot. Poisoning Pigeons in the Park | Reviewer: Frank Fasano ------ About the song Poisoning Pigeons In The Park performed by Tom Lehrer From the first time I heard this song (in the early 60's) and the entire album for that matter; I was convinced, Tom Lehrer was not only brilliant but an entertainer who’s style and songs will never grow old. Hell it is now more than 40 years later and I am still purchasing copies of his albums to share with friends of mine spanning ages from the early 20’s to the late 60’s. Everyone enjoys his lyrics as well as his piano accompaniment. For those who may be offended by his lyrics, grow up and relax. For those who are offended, too bad and I guess you can always listen to Lawrence Welk. Same Old Song | Reviewer: citizenKen ------ About the song The Elements performed by Tom Lehrer This song was done in the mid sixties by a math teacher from MIT. I think he went to UC Berkeley at some point. His name is TOm Lehrer. His other songs are hysterical- "Vatican Rag", "Pollution Calypso", "In Old Mexico". They're worth tracking down. Enjoy.

Calm down | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Poisoning Pigeons In The Park performed by Tom Lehrer I can tell you whats wrong and whats right. Being 13 as well (14 really but hey). Whats wrong is believing that god PUT these things on this Earth. Also, calm down for god sake, it's only a song. I think you should lighten up a bit and have a laugh about it. You don't honestly think that something that inhumane would possibly be true do you? By the way i'm a meber of greenpeace and the RSPCA, so i have a fairly strong veiw on animal rights. I think It's a very funny song, with lots of wit and clever rhyming. Job well done Tom. Poisoning Pigeons | Reviewer: Megan Kathleen Womack ------ About the song Poisoning Pigeons In The Park performed by Tom Lehrer I am a child of 13 and I raise pigeons. I've been raising pigeons for over 9 years now.I think this somg is childish stupid wrong and any ther bad names I can come up with. This song is written on an inhumane subject and you should be ashamed. I think theat pigeons are beautiful creatures that god put on this earth and he would not like you writing petty things about his animals.I know I'm only a kid of 13 butI know whats wrong and whats right, and this is wrong. "...a possibly recognizable tune" | Reviewer: Eric M. Berg ------ About the song The Elements performed by Tom Lehrer As I recall, the tune in question is "I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major General" from The Pirates of Penzance by Gilbert and Sullivan. don't worry | Reviewer: Scott Dobbie, 15 ------ About the song So Long, Mom (A Song for World War III) performed by Tom Lehrer There is no need to worry about the ledgend of Tom Lehrer failing to be passed along, as it already has!
