“I went and shot the maximum the game laws would allow… two game wardens, seven hunters, and a cow.”

Songs by Tom LehrerI must say, you’ve got to love the creativeness of the songs of Tom Lehrer. The Harvard professor turned singer in the 1960s sings songs that are still relevant today. His songs are memorable, and range from The Masochism Tango to Poisoning Pigeons in the Park to New Math. You can tell a song is good when you are singing it to yourself without realizing it. In fact, as I write this, I am thinking about poisoning some pigeons in the park, and then about the words of the great Lobachevsky. It’s great!
