    So TIL that Lehrer's "Lobachevsky" is plagiarized ( h/t @SteveBellovin) and now this. Is someone like completing the universe or something by making everything perfectly ironic in a circle?https://twitter.com/VALERIEin140/status/1105789705629720576 …

        Yes, that was the joke. So Lehrer "plagiarized" the song WHICH MAKES THE WHOLE THING SUPER FUNNY. It's just the intro got lost in the album, so TIL of this really funny part that I didn't know before. I'm not accusing Lehrer of actual plagiarism.https://twitter.com/StrangerNoise/status/1105854997416300545 …

        Surely if Lehrer plagiarised Loachevsky, it was only because that was the joke? (Unable to believe ill of Lehrer.)

        It's hard to call it plagiarism, when Leherer admits in the introduction to the song that he was inspired by Danny Kaye.

        I have a wonderful colleague called Robachevsky. He does all his own work... but imagine the self-control I need not to keep bursting into song. #OneManDeservesTheCredit...

        The worst name collision I ever heard about was by someone who was being interviewed for a job by a person named "Inigo Montoya". He couldn't control himself—and no, he didn't get the job…

        My understanding is that Lobachevsky is “plagarized” in the sense that Weird Al’s songs are “plagarized”: it’s a parody of a song his audience would have been familiar with, but the parody has endured and the song it referred to has been forgotten.

        And the saddest part is that there’s no evidence at all that the real Lobachevsky was in any way a plagiarist (or encouraged his students to plagiarize).
