Tom Lehrer's Electric Tunes Composed For Cartoonist Paul Dooley
'New Math' + Tom Lehrer (1965, 'That Was The Year That Was')
'Silent E' - Tom Lehrer (Electric Company Song)
"When I talked to Al for the first time, I was like, 'I'm immensely flattered by the idea that you would pick me to play you, but like, why me?'" (Daniel) Radcliffe said. "I'm mystified but excited." Radcliffe explained that he appeared on the Graham Norton show in November 2010 alongside Colin Farrell and Rihanna. During the interview, he sang humorist Tom Lehrer's song "The Elements," which lists all the elements on the periodic table. "I sang 'The Elements' next to Colin Farrell and a very amused Rihanna," Radcliffe said. "I guess Al saw that and was like, 'This guy maybe gets it.' And so he picked me. So I'm very, very lucky, and now I've gotten to have accordion lessons with Al."

Sweet!
I can't remember how it came up, but Paul Dooley's name came up in conversation between a buddy of mine and I in the intermission of a hockey game. It was likely we were talking about either "Strange Brew" or "Slap Shot". I didn't even know it was he who was one of the commentators in "Slap Shot" until YEARS later.
I think the question was posed that Dooley is still alive.
So, in between stoppages of play in the game, I pulled up wikipedia, and searched his name. He, very much, IS still alive.
I was going to show my buddy the results in another stoppage of play, but I never did.

Paul Dooley and Tom Lehrer both turned 94 this year!
