Pavlowsdog is a bit of a star when it comes to vidding and has produced a wealth of glorious MFU vids. This is the latest in a long line of them that range from cute through cool to outrageously funny. She's worked before in loose collaboration with the bluemeany sisters (thebigbluemeany and dreamybluemeany) and does so again on this one. They were the providers of some of the clips.

Tom Lehrer's classic is a joy in itself. The song's a clever choice for the fandom as there's a huge choice of appropriate clips to go with it. Given the various adversaries panting to do unspeakable things to the boys (er... well perhaps they weren't all adversaries) the choice is almost unlimited. Pavlowsdog's skill is in matching the clips so perfectly to the lyrics (my heart's in my hand *g*) and producing something that's LOL funny. I know that humour's a very subjective animal but I confess (mea culpa) that I'm not a huge fan of slapstick. This is poles apart from slapstick so it suits me just fine. Oh and the ending beyond the credits is sniggerworthy too.
