Database: La Guillotine Permanente

When the guillotine was used for the first time on April 25, 1792, it was poorly received by the public, apparently disappointed by its speed of execution and lack of entertainment. Nonetheless, the instrument was declared the official form of execution. The song "The Permanent Guillotine" tells the story of Dr. Guillotin and how his invention came to be used for executing the guilty.
