Holy cow - I suddenly love YouTube…

My favorite Tom Lehrer song ever, National Brotherhood Week.
Another favorite, the World War III song…
Lobachevsky (especially fun if you’ve done graduate work)…
…I honestly can’t think offhand of a Lehrer song that I dislike. Some are better than others, as one would rather expect, and some have held up better over the last 40-45 years than others. But on the whole, really he’s a brilliant satirist. Brilliant guy all around, actually; I think he graduated from Harvard at about 17.
Enjoy!
I’m SO glad I’m not the only Tom Lehrer nerd out there…

I saw this over at Chez Shea, and rejoiced greatly. I honestly didn’t even know there was existing footage of Tom Lehrer performing.
Let’s see if that works or if I have to link instead…I’ve never learned how to embed Link it is…
If nothing else, it may give you an idea of why, prior to meeting The Canuck, I used to say that I would gladly marry Tom Lehrer if I had the opportunity. Even though he’s pushing 80 by now…
