I'd go down on my knees, but nobody's to blame

From the Department of Seriously, Who Knew: Tom Courtenay originated "Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter."

I can find no other information about The Lads (1963) except that it produced at least three other songs (also written by Trevor Peacock) which don't seem to have become famous at all and hey, there's Ronald Harwood again. (And again!) I'm guessing it was about a band? Anyway, I like him better than Herman's Hermits.

I am off to the Coolidge Corner Theatre to try for Mahler auf der Couch (Mahler on the Couch, 2010). Chances of me not returning with Tom Lehrer stuck in my head: probably close to nil.

Tom Lehrer stuck in my head

I used to walk through a small quad to get to work, and it had its resident population of pigeons... so, you know what song I would be humming...

I've had that song in my head for weeks!
