Tom Lehrer-Poisoning Pigeons In The Park/The Masochism Tango WITH ORCHESTRA! Video

On January the 21 in the year 1960 a recording session took place in the RCA/VICTOR Studio in New York City, New York. Richard Hayman counducted a small Orchestra (witch he must have found different, considering his usual band was the great Boston Pops) in 4 songs written AND composed by that brilliant genius that is Tom Lehrer. Tom Lehrer himself is singing, but i do NOT know if he is playing the Piano aswell! Can anybody confirm this? Like earlier mentioned everything is written by Tom Lehrer himself! Except for the orchestral arrangements of the songs witch are written by the conducter Richard Hayman. The 2 songs you will listen to in this video, are digital remastered versions of the same songs that are on the CAPRICORN 45 single Record that you see in the video. The 45 single was released in 1960. The songs are taken from the "Dr.Demento 20TH Aniversary Album". Released on RHINO Records in 1991.

I have uploaded the songs in the order that they originally appeared on the CAPRICORN 45 single that was released in 1960.

The order on the single was:

SIDE A: "Poisoning Pigeons In The Park" 0:00-2:10

SIDE B: "The Masochism Tango" 2:10-5:06

The other two songs never came out on record in an original form. Because they where given to Dr.Demento himself by Tom Lehrer himself as a nice gesture during an interview. But they can be found on the vinyl compilation album "Songs & More Songs By Tom Lehrer".

"The Hunting Song" however can be found WITH ORCHESTRA on the "Dr.Demento 25TH Aniversary Album".

All the 3 songs that have bean digitally remastered for CD are STILL in Mono, because they where recorded that way originally. Sorry, for that but you can still hear the song pretty DARN WELL!

The last song is called "We Will All Go Together When We Go" can only be found WITH ORCHESTRA on the vinyl compilation album "Songs & More Songs By Tom Lehrer.

I do have "The Hunting Song" WITH ORCHESTRA! But i will NOT post it untill this video has had at least 100 views and 50 POSITIVE COMMENTS! The COMMENTS are the most important part, they tell me that i am NOT doing this for nothing!
