Pure genius. Maybe some day people like Lehrer will be in charge of the government. Nah, way too many morons.

Appropriate, articulate and devastatingly correct. Job well done!

Firstly thanks 6funswede so much for putting these up. I stumbled across When You Are Old and Grey yesterday and after watching these vids I'm pricing his albums on amazon so thank you.
Don't want to go off on a tangent but thanks crazedkid103 for the defense. As an Irish person and History student it's greatly appreciated. Britian had a complicated past with Ireland long before and after 1600s. Far too complicated for some debate on youtube so thanks for showing sense to a comme
nt like that.
Yes, yes, yes ... ... ( 2 months ago by ageofconfusion)
Yes, yes, yes ... Tom Lehrer is God. Or at least, he's Elvis. I mean, of course, the Elvis of singing and satirizing Mathmaticians. Or something like that. Anyway, he's great, a true (not-so-)secret(-anymore) classic, a polished gem of a sarcastic motherlover, so 10.000 thanks to 6funswede for making all this rare footage available. And btw, I don't care if this one has interlacing issues - it's hereby featured! ;P

This was originally ... ( 2 months ago by fromthesidelines)
This was originally written by him for NBC's "THAT WAS THE WEEK THAT WAS" in 1964, a highly satiric prime-time weekly "revue" that poked fun at current events, for which Tom wrote several topical songs, which he later recorded in concert for Reprise records in July 1965 ["That Was the Year That Was"], after the show had gone off the air.

What's sort of depressing, is how pertinent his songs of 50 years ago still are

In light of today's tensions between nations, Lehrer's song is visionary for that time. Perhaps President Obama can change this?

Ha! Barrack Hussein is going to be one of the catylists.

Of course he will destroy the world because names always determine personality and leadership capacity. *rolls eyes*

you are obviously a moron who knows nothing of Obamas proposed policies. If anyone would've catalyzed a nuclear confrontation, it would be Bush or McFossil and Palin.

Oh boy...Going to start flooding this great video with political comments eh?How about instead we just talk about how great Tom was.And anything else relevent to the video.
hmmmm...apparently ... ( 1 week ago by PhysicsProf1)
hmmmm...apparently you missed it. That's precisely what we are doing. Tom's intent was to spark thought, introspection, controversial debate and criticism of current norms, policies and conventions. Think a bit deeper than the superficial.

You're right, but I think that he didn't quite anticipate the level of "debate" that youtube comments usually operate on.

Your command and mastery of the English language reflects on how much of an authority you must be on politics and accomplishments of public servants.
