These songs are inspirational and every college student should hear this album!

Thank you for posting this! Lehrer's songs are wonderful.

[LeftSock06]

Pure musical genius.

[Chris512095]

You're using the internet, that's digital, as is this video.

[NivMizzet89]

[Xen012345]

Thank you, I'd rather see video of a spinning record than a dumb random image slide show that most songs on YouTube have.

[eppylover]

Rather see video of a spinning record than a dumb random image slide show?

I SECOND THAT!!!

[Snemelk]

I'd rather see the video of the show than anything else ;P

[Steeple333]

You guys actually watch the video? I just move to something else on a different tab. =b

[31415equalspi]

@Steeple333 i just read the comments

[firebreeze]

God, do I ever love "Smut". Mr Lehrer's voice turns positively roguish when he sings, "and the Wizard of Oz, there's a dirty old man!" ;)

[Hoshimaru57]

I must have heard an edited version of these songs. In pollution he says: "Throw out your breakfast garbage and I've got a hunch. The folks downstream will drink it for lunch!"

And in National Brotherhood week he says Muhammed Ali*(can't spell his orginal name).

[RMphy89]

Well, the lyrics differ per recording, since it's live and all. I believe this record was recorded in San Francisco, hence the reference to "the bay."

[flyingfree]

Thanks so much for uploading these songs! I love Tom Lehrer!

[ShiningPie]

It could only happen in the sixties. As the man himself said, satire became obsolete when Henry Kissenger won a nobel peace prize.

[garylobo3]

Right. Then Al Gore won this year, to complete the circle of idiocy. Politicians & peace go together like Rush Limbaugh & Al Sharpton...

[Shine223]

This stuff shouldn't be getting truer and truer with time. Seriously.

[31415equalspi]

@Shine223 well it does. so what can we do

[setoboo]

it's so had to believe this came out in the 60's i mean it just sounds sooo...like what you would hear on comady central or something!

[LordSintax]

what, you dont think Lehrer was a MAJOR influence on comedians?

[InterestingBoredom]

Quite a few parallels with current times.

[jennsanders]

Smut is my favorite. I love smutty stuff! It's the best thing in the world. I love smut! I want a shirt that says I love smut!
