Odhran Gallagher it’s meant to be comedic but considering your intelligence you probably couldn’t tell

[@Valkail_]

Odhran Gallagher it’s obviously comedy

[@ShreyaChoudhuryMusic]

Odhran Gallagher that’s what you call dry humor - when someone behaves in ways that originally can hurt someone else but really means something different as to make the person laugh their heads off. Deep down though, Daniel is a very humble person and I’m glad the fame didn’t ruin him.

The amount of HOURS Daniel Radcliffe put into learning that song, purely for his own enjoyment, is so impressive. I adore that he adores Tom Lehrer. He was pretty big in the 60's, but now a whole new generation is discovering him. I got my niece turned onto him, and she started sharing with all her friends. It's great! That's not even my favorite Tom Lehrer song, though. I love "The Masochism Tango," and "Poisoning Pigeons In the Park" the most, tied for first.

Radcliffe doesn’t mention that it’s set to the song “Modern Major General” from the operetta “Pirates of Penzance” by Britain’s own Gilbert and Sullivan. IMO the best version of the song is on the live album “An Evening Wasted With Tom Lehrer”. In addition to his career as a musical humorist , Lehrer was also a professor of mathematics at Harvard. Very fitting because “Lehrer” means “teacher” in German.

Lehrer taught a class called Math For Non-Scientists at UC Santa Cruz in 1987. All of the Arts students were desperate to get a spot, and i was one of the lucky ones. I had no idea who he was at the time, though. We couldn’t Google in 1987. He taught us logic and it was a good class. He was tough. But I’m grateful I had that experience.

One thing I've got in common with Daniel Radcliffe is that I can sing this song too! Wish I had his bank account in common... ;-)
