And Tom Lehrer is the "grand-dad" of JHLP - I Hate The Spring -, with his all time hit "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park" :
The Internet Archive.org website published a video of one of his math lectures (WMV file, arsh! no good).Spring is here, a-suh-puh-ring is here.
Life is skittles and life is beer.
I think the loveliest time of the year is the spring.
I do, don't you? 'Course you do.
But there's one thing that makes spring complete for me,
And makes every Sunday a treat for me.All the world seems in tune
On a spring afternoon,
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park.
Every Sunday you'll see
My sweetheart and me,
As we poison the pigeons in the park.
A precious document.
