Intro: This is a tribute to Tom Lehrer, a great American (musical) satirist.

Celebration: Lehrer's 80th birthday on April 9th (2008) was celebrated with the posting of "We will all go together when we go". Use the (new) PLAYLIST to watch the whole performance or select any song you want to see Lehrer perform.

Facts: These videos has been clicked more than a 1.1 million times in a year. Not bad for a satirist who quit the entertainment industry some 40 years ago.

Response: Tom Lehrer has said that he is fine with the postings of these rare old videos on Youtube, as long as it is a FREE offer. Please do NOT ask for any video originals.

Message 1: Enjoy Youtube and enjoy a little Tom Lehrer wisdom and "accumulated philosophic or scientific knowledge" :-)

Message 2: Please buy Tom Lehrer's incredible records! The Rhino Records home page is a good place to start. The recordings from Rhino are even better than this live stuff. Use the website url below.

Thanx for visiting.

Playlists
The original set list for this sixties Tom Lehrer performance was:

1) National brotherhood week 2) When you are old and gray 3) MLF Lullaby 4) Poisoning pigeons in the park 5) So long, mom 6) Pollution 7) Masochism tango 8) Send the Marines 9) Who's next 10) Wernher von Braun 11) The Vatican rag 12) We will all go together when we go.

Lehrer only did twelve songs. They are all here. This channel is focused on live video images of Lehrer, NOT still images or animations with Lehrer's music taken from a record.

Unfortunately very little live (video) material exists. He didn't appear that much on TV, and some broadcasters even erased their recordings because of the expensive video tapes in the sixties. But maybe we will see more later?

Until more genuine Lehrer videos appears: Consider this collection a rare treat. Because it really is. And, yes, you can watch this channel with Tom Lehrer's approval.

If you enjoy the content you should buy his records. This weird planet (still) needs Tom Lehrer.

lehrer is cool!

I appreciate you very much sir.

Yeah, this guy's an absolute genius. I've loved him for years. But the one thing that I think most people forget is that he is also a master of his instrument. He played piano like it was a part of him. He made it sound so effortless, but his playing was truly complex.
Couple the happy-go-lucky piano part with the satirical image of an atom bomb capping your sorry a**, and you have a master at work!
Thanks for these vids. Classic!!!

Fantastic! I love Tom Lehrer. A true genius whose influence can be seen from George Carlin to political satirist/musician Mark Russell to talk show host Craig Ferguson. Thanks for making this channel.
