  • The first part of the video (my signature slide) is overlaid by the final bars of "March On, Bahamaland", which I played on my keyboard.
    The main part of the song is one of Tom Lehrer's studio-recorded songs with orchestra, "The Hunting Song". It is one of four songs recorded with Richard Hayman in 1960. But I obtained the actual music from the box set, "The Remains of Tom Lehrer", which was released in 2000. Enjoy.
    And the last part is the main theme of "The Phantom of the Opera", by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Simply the 'cherry on top', and my personal song.
    Here's the description Tom Lehrer himself made about the song: "During the hunting season one finds countless items in the news concerning individuals who have shot other individuals under the impression that the latter were deer, rabbits, squirrels, or other fauna. This song is written to herald this encouraging new trend in a grand old sport. [Not only have my views on hunting not changed since I wrote this song, but it is equally bewildering to me that evidently there are grown men who take pride in their ability to outwit a fish.]"
    Sorry I gave so much information about the music earlier. I don't want to get screwed by stupid WMG again. They are a bunch of arse-holes. And to make sure I am not screwed, have them read the following credits:

    I am 85 years old and can't get enough of Tom Lehrer songs. The man was the Albert Einstein of laughs. In 2023 we could sure use another Tom Lehrer, but he was an original so we just have to keep listening to him. Thanks youtube for all the Tom Lehrer songs.

    LOVE IT! I grew up listening to this in the 60's. So great you did this for people where English is their 2nd or 3rd language. Bravo!

    Sometime in 2220 they'll go for a dive into the archives, recover Lehrer's vids and conclude that he had a regular TV show and a Broadway gig.

      There's no limit, actually, as long as they're insured. They're an invasive species.
