Poisoning Pigeons in the Park...

I thought it was odd to see pigeons in the second Cassie video. I never gave it much thought.

I did a search on Google with the words lyrics "in the park" and got a song by Tom Lehrer called Poisoning Pigeons in the Park. Of course this struck me as a coeincidence seeing as there where pigeons in the video which also took place as the LG15 video In The Park.

Example of lyrics :

We've gained notoriety,
And caused much anxiety
In the Audubon Society
With our games.
They call it impiety
And lack of propriety,
And quite a variety
Of unpleasant names.
But it's not against any religion
To want to dispose of a pigeon.

So if Sunday you're free,
Why don't you come with me,
And we'll poison the pigeons in the park.
And maybe we'll do
In a squirrel or two,
While we're poisoning pigeons in the park.

This is just something I found that I thought was interesting. It's all just coincidence, of course. It's also coincidence that October 1st is on a Sunday, as mentioned in the song. Maybe all Cassie really wants is someone to kill pigeons with?

Or:
1. Pigeons are known to frequent parks
-and-
2. They were ravens or something, not pigeons.

Aww.

Ruin my fun.... but seriously? They really where ravens?

Well. Maybe when she was filming she couldn't find pidgeons. xD

( I am not at all being serious, obviously. To me it's all in good fun, and I'm not trying to offend hardcore fans. )

Haha I don't want to spoil your fun, you are allowed to think what you want, but just pointing out that its rather wreckless to draw all these random and pretty wild assumptions. And do you think she couldn't find pigeons? I mean they're everywhere!

Poisoning Pigeons in the Park is actually a hilarious song. I don't know if anyone's actually heard it, but it has a rollicking waltzy feel. Tom was known writing really great comic songs

Can't believe i unlurked just to say that

Yes, those were ravens, and using my supernatural animal senses to determine what they were doing I have determined they were doing the peepee dance.

Eventually something will..be it a book discussion...or someone saying something so moronic or genius you just have to comment...then it's downhill..or uphill..or jack and jill from there....

WTF is my pail of water?

Birds as a general rule don't have pee pees(they have an all purpose hole called a cloaca)...and generally don't urinate..they just give a generalized HEAVHO which if you own a car you have become all too familiar with... So, as much as I respect our most prolific poster..I have to say..they were doing the POO POO dance...in honor of one of Jessic Rose's greatest works to date, the classic...."Unleash the Fury"

Well, those may be the scientific facts, but all I know is what I heard.

raven #1: CAW CAWW?

raven #2: CAWW CAWWWW CAWCAW!

Using my universal animal languages translator that translates (roughly) to:

"Hey, why are you hopping around so much? What is your problem?"

"Oh, man, All I know is that I've REALLY got to pee!"

Hehe, the peepee dance is what I just did. Without that post, I don't think this thread would still be here.

Perhaps the ravens were doing the Masochism Tango?

Yes..an obvious flaw in your translator..which software version are you using... I had the same as you....cept..the final line..I got..

"Oh, man, All I know is I don't know if I can wait to find a car, cause I have to unleash the most tremendous dump in the history of Ornithology."

Hi everybody,

don't wanna spoil your fun, but as a serious fan of Georg Kreisler I just HAVE to add this: the song refered to (by Tom Lehrer) is probably a plagiarism from Georg Kreisler's song "tauben vergiften" (poisoning piggeons).

Kreisler is an austrian artist who was born in 1922 and performed this song in Vienna in 1956, three years before Lehrer released his - very similar - version.

Added that just for the record....

Btw, don't think it matters in any way on the CiW....
