A song of palindromes

March 19, 2013 by

This may be a response to King David’s Songs of Ascents, or an idle evening’s work by a wierd mathy geek. Either way, we like it.

    More likely a response to Bob’s Subterranean Homesick Blues?? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vx4pRyEtit4

    Weird Al is a fairly well-known American satirist. This is fairly typical of his work (which I say with the utmost admiration).

    I saw Weird Al perform live once. It was wonderful! His “Amish Paradise” is not to be missed.
