The song in this video was written by Lehrer as early as 1952 or 1953 (may be even earlier), years before a German version appeared, for which Lehrer did not get any credit. Sometimes Lehrer himself would cover other people's songs, but they were always credited. "Poisoning Pigeons In The Park" is a true Tom Lehrer original.

Some people have written messages to this channel, angered because of the posting of this song. They are "friends of all animals", which basically means that they didn't get it.

This version is a test mp4 to YouTube converted widescreen video. The original 4:3 video is still on the channel.

Lehrer said that he is OK with "The Tom Lehrer Wisdom Channel" on YouTube, as long as the performance is not altered and as long as it's free in the YouTube flash video format. Do NOT ask for any video originals, ever again.

Here, people can enjoy Lehrer's spoken intro. Please click the link for higher quality under the video window. The original 4:3-version will stay on the channel.

This video is actually TWO songs: "National Brotherhood Week" and "When You Are Old And Gray". They were republished to let people enjoy Lehrer's verbal wit. Watch them in higher quality! Make sure the video is displayed on it's own page. Click the link under the video window to check if you're playing it back in higher quality. The difference isn't that big, but it is worth a try if you have got enough bandwith.

Of course these two songs have already been individually published to YouTube.

Enjoy!

If this clip is found on it's own page, please click on the Lehrer icon and visit the front page of The Tom Lehrer Wisdom Channel afterwards. It is all about Lehrer and no-one else.

The standard message: Do not ask to buy a DVD or original video footage ever again. The Lehrer TV-performance as a whole is unfortunately NOT commercially available on video.

Tom Lehrer has accepted the publishing of the songs on The Tom Lehrer Wisdom Channel. For more, use this link:

The "The MLF Lullaby" is a comment on an American proposal to produce a fleet of submarines and warships, each manned by international NATO crews, and armed with multiple nuclear-armed Polaris ballistic missiles. The proposal was floated by the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations. You should search for MLF and read about that on Wikipedia.

On 22 October 1955, television history was made as CBS broadcast, Live and in Color, TOGETHER WITH MUSIC - a 90 minute musical comedy special starring NOEL COWARD and MARY MARTIN. With no guests, dancers or backup of any kind, the two legendary stars breezed through an incredibly accomplished programme of songs and sketches. For years available only as a rare soundtrack LP, here at last is the original hi-fi album CD audio, synched to the B&W kinescope of this historic broadcast. Noel Coward (fresh from his triumph in Las Vegas) performs a stunning rendition of his signature tune, MAD DOGS AND ENGLISHMEN.

On the 29th of November 2007 I gave a talk to the York University Maths Society on my hero Tom Lehrer. This is me rehearsing the talk, it's not perfect at all, but it went ok on the night.

The bad sound is due to Vista not being able to record my microphone. It will never change now, it is what it is.
