      Actually, he wasn't that bad. That's a hard song to do by itself, (in other words - no music or instrument playing along in the background.) Not to mention, it's also a pretty fast-paced one as well. But he was definitely having fun doing it, too.

      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.

    This explains him playing Weird Al. Especially the shush part when people start clapping & the "Now clap" part at the end. Plus his love for weird artists like Tom Lehrer in the 1st place made him a top contender to begin with. His high cheekbones & deepest eyes sealed the deal most likely.

    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.

    Lehrer is indeed a genius. Him and Weird Al are right up there at the top! The fact that Dan is such a fan of both gives him high marks for character, intelligence, and quirkiness. Love it! I've loved Tom Lehrer since my friend introduced me to his work when were in high school in the 1990s. Even I have to admit that I was never quite so dedicated as to memorize this specific song. I know several Lehrer songs by heart; this is not one of them!! Major props to Mr. Radcliffe for memorizing this, and performing it so well! If he had had accompaniment, I bet he would have done even better; he was kind of rushing through, a bit. The tempo really is that fast, but the accompaniment lends the proper meter and cadence, and doesn't skip hastily over the instrumental measures. Dan was trying to just show off his party trick as quickly as possible, rather than actually performing the song. Which, in this context, was probably the correct assessment of the audience's attention span. Still, very well done!
