The original, by Mr Lehrer was my Hubby and I bridal waltz in 2006. Needless to say, folks were a tad disturbed! EXACTLY what we had planned

[@echonovember636]

I'm getting married this summer, you just gave me an idea...

[@lintonpair]

Echo November Have at it!! There are 1 or 2 more by the original composer you may also like to use. *evil grin*
P.s. Have a beautiful day, regardless of music choice

[@fearreavers]

No Masochism Tango?

[@manmanpower15]

That wedding sounds like a great time.

[@Terpe75]

I like you. No idea who you are, but with doing that I do know that both you and your hubby have a sense of humor that would fit in with mine just fine......

[@notsopunk]

When I started to look up what you’ve done after seeing the No More Fucks To Give video, the very first thing I thought was “this dude is like a modern day Tom Lehrer”. I love that you covered this! Thank you so much

[@themagpie75]

Ethan Hutchinson I had a similar thought. This just proved it.

[@spr00sem00se]

I was introduced to this song in my childhood. "It just takes a smidgen to poison a pigeon" is one of the best lines ever. I have a feeling your channel is about to get busier :)

[@lucillasallabank]

@@colinball7438 it's satire.

[@jasonw6688]

Great cover! I've been listening to Tom Lehrer since the early 90s when I first heard him on the Dr. Demento Show. Keep up the awesome work! 👍👍👏👏

[@mr.dieleman6374]

I never really liked ukulele, and although I still think that it does not sound very good in the hands of small children, you have changed my mind and I really love how you play.

[@ZanZanDK]

Tom Lehrer is an amazing text writer. Even today his lyrics hit right where it hurts.
Love it.

[@captainnerd6452]

Peter Hoeck-Olsen Especially “The Masochism Tango” which he also covered

[@danielgray2616]

Great song and good fun. Love your delivery, looks like you've got a viral hot on your hands with no more f**ks to give, which has brought me to your channel. Keep up the good work.

[@andreweades6248]

Your are correct. That song has gone kablooy all over

[@echonovember636]

It's the song that brought me here. Lol.

[@Atomsk102]

Tom Lehrer has been a favorite among my family for generations. Brilliant cover of one of his classics.

[@daedalus372]

One of my favourite Tom Lehrer songs... You do it brilliantly! The man was a hero of mine, thanks for sharing.

[@TempoDrift1480]

I hope this dude goes on to make some big bucks cause he's fuckin entertaining !

[@tanukiman3855]

You’ve done justice to a little known (now) classic.

[@natalya6091]

Good morning, dear Thomas.Thanks a bunch for subtitles.Enjoy this day.Thank you very much.

[@ember-brandt]

Woah, I've never seen him with only a mustache before!! I love the beard, but no matter what, this man is so incredibly dapper!!!

[@ember-brandt]

And with that, I have now entirely binge watched his entire channel! Not a single bad song!!! Well done, good chap!!! ♥♥♥♥
Love from Whittier, California!!

[@jazzdaddycriticisms7049]

A song often done in the world of barbershop as a novelty song! It always sounds fun xD

[@artstrutzenberg7197]

So who thinks it would be epic for a duet between the two....and even more epic if they were to team up to produce a new album?

[@natalya6091]

Dear Ben Dawson, thank you for piano track.

[@BethDiane]

Have you ever done any Flanders and Swann? I'd love to hear your take on "Have Some Madeira, M'dear"!

[@inesdeerausquin5658]

THIS. YES. PLEASE.

[@Terpe75]

A lot of the MacLean & MacLean songs would fit very well also.

[@TheMastersOfNothin]

Bully! You should do "We'll all go together" next.

[@rachelwaln4728]

OMG I love this song it's a cover of a Tom lehrer song

[@The_Whitlovian]

I would love an album link!

[@sophiatalksmusic3588]

You do Lehrer, too?? AMAZING!

[@mr.twister4345]

There's 4 people that saw this that were pigeon lovers.

[@larrytalbott700]

Is there a cd on the horizon?

[@Reziac]

See? What did I just say? Mr. Lehrer's hehrer. :D

[@rabidbunnies2]

I love this song, and I love the idea of T.B. Wild esq. doing it, but it doesn't hit quite perfectly.

[@myrealname349]

This shit is too funny

[@bernhardglitzner4985]

it is a Georg Kreisler cover, is it not? Respect to the on point performance and translation.

[@Nickly80]

It's a Tom Lehrer song originally. Kreisler may have "borrowed" it.

[@timmylumsden8060]

Kicking Pigeons in the Park?? Have to say your handling of Uke and banjolele ...second to none

[@calspace]

timmy lumsden Poisoning Pigeons

[@raymomull2258]

Very heavy smoker in the background.

[@weepinangel5009]

This man is the definition of neutral Evil

[@jerrickbjornson347]

It really depends on the context. Is the village/town/city over running the town? Were they sent by an evil wizard/sorcerer/lich to keep tabs on the town?

[@adammatheson3080]

Sense of humour bypass for the woman nearest the stage?
