Tom Lehrer - The Tribute (Part 3/3)

[Beachseasider]

Belated Happy Birthday Tom. I was a student when your musical career started now I am a crusty old man that can laugh recalling the clever lines you sang from the old 78.  Which for a mathematician is less than the sum of the enjoyment. Thanks Freddie for the chance to say well done Tom!

why is 'tropic of calculus' funny?...

[2TheGuy2]

@SatoTM3 tropic of cancer and tropic of Capricorn... thus, tropic of calculus...

[TubeMonk]

@SatoTM3 Actually, it's a reference to the book "Tropic of Cancer" by Henry Miller. The idea is that people will be deceived into thinking it's a "racy" novel.

I love Tom Lehrer!

[kamyarghofrani]

this was perfect but if you could put "Werner Von Braun" too, that would be awesome.

[Fredde21]

He will never be forgotten, there you one thing right. I will teach my children to enjoy his music as much as I do, and hope they do the same. And hope that when they Send that I.C.B.M. they will be singing "We will all go together when we go"

The more of Tom Lehrer the better, yeah. I wonder if he has seen (heard) this tribute, but I guess he will. And of course he has long since understood that he won't be forgotten! Cool :-)
