Tom Lehrer: Poisoning Pigeons In The Park (studio orchestra) (1960)

[@evelynvocu8731]

My favorite fact about this version of the song: Tom recounted in an interview that a pianist who worked on the recording fell out of his chair when he heard the title of the song, as the pianist had apparently not known what the song was for.

This is by far the best version. Sounds like something from a Disney movie.

Sounds like music to a Disney movie with the orchestra. Nice!

Tuppence from mary Poppins is on a different version of this song

You say "It is one of four songs recorded with Richard Hayman in 1960." So far I've got Pigeons, Masochism, and Hunting: what was the fourth one? (There is on KZbin a version of the rare "Agnes" that has "orchestral" in its description, but it isn't, though it _is_ different piano to the version he performed on "Parkinson" in the leadup to Tom Foolery.)

[@AlexSh789]

I believe the fourth is "We Will All Go Together When We Go," which I haven't uploaded yet (you can still find the concert and solo versions on my channel). I must say, it's a refresher to finally see someone who actually reads the description.

@@AlexSh789 Thanks for replying. Can you post a reply to this when you do upload it? [And I don't suppose you can leave a gap between it and your additions? (-:]

[@G6JPG]

@@AlexSh789 I put "We will all go together" on the presentation system when I left my job!

[@rapunzelz5520]

What is the context to this one? I don’t get it because I don’t know the context like the other songs.

[@plaguedeene]

Idk. But it catchy tho

[@kidinadinosuit7039]

I saw something on another video that said that laws were passed to prevent poisoning pigeons or something like that.

[@AngelOfMusic9430]

Why Phantom at the end though?

[@lyl9255]

More incongruously, why the Chinese national anthem in the beginning?

The correct roman numerals for 1960 are MCMLX and it's spelled "Tom Lehrer" I don't think you can copyright the words to someone's else's music or public domain materials, even if you are performing them.

[@AlexSh789]

V Sparrow - The production credits and details for the song itself are in the description (as is denoted in the rolling credits), whereas the title card exists to signify that I alone produced the video and no one else. Also, in this context (and in the font I use), the encircled C symbol does not stand for copyright.

Creo que al ponerle mas instrumentos que el piano le quitan lo "lehreristico"a las canciones

[@AlexSh789]

Yo creo que mucha gente no estaría de acuerdo con eso.

+Alexander Shekhtman y no me molestaría ya que escuchamos al mismo cantante,son solo opiniones

No hay ningún problema. Y gracias por esta oportunidad de escribir algo de español. (Spanish is not my native language, haha.)
