  • I can't believe he was a professor at UCSC when I studied there. I feel I missed something important.

  • Awesome, thanks for the laugh! :D

  • Red October schtanding by!

  • 1:35 "nearly THREE billion hunks of well-done steak." Correct in 1959 when this song was recorded, but today would have to be amended to "SEVEN billion" to be accurate! Think about how much the world has changed in the last 50 years!

  • ''Chhhhoooooo........The farce is strong in This One...''

  • loved the song

  • Looks like Obi-Wan was drinking WKD blue.

  • lol look at 2:10 the letters at the building look like WKD

  • Win. Definitely, definitely, epic WIN!

  • I'd never heard this song before. Very well put together and excellent choice of song. Very entertaining.

  • i love this video it so cute and sweet

  • 8D oh mygawd, tom lehrer has so many applications, but i have to admit, this is one of the more apt. :3

  • Almost anything which encourages the dissemination of Lehrer's ideas is most welcome, but something like this, showing diligence, interest and a different point of view, enhances it immeasurably.

  • I love his rhymes. There will be no more misery when the world is our rotisserie...

    When the air becomes uranious we will all go simultaneous....

  • These sorts of things are my favorite You Tube videos. Very funny and creative. I'm sure it took a long time to create and we appreciate the efforts. Very well done!

  • this is a awful way to die but a pretty funny song

  • I echo every syllable of that!

  • lol that was perfect!!!

  • Lol in a kinda strange way

  • Really nice video, love that song.

    Really nice...

  • Brilliant! This is the best Tom Lehrer video I've ever seen!

    I wonder why it only has 50,085 views by 18th March 2008...it deserves to bee much more popular :)

  • Once again, where's the great line in the song about the Valhallas? It's the best line in the song. Why is everyone on youtube cutting it out?!?

  • That was very funny. A great song by a genius mathematician and a good video too.

  • Very very clever. One of the best of these types of videos that I've seen. Well done.

  • genius! more explosions would have rocked but not to be sneezed at.

  • Very funny in a grim sort of way!!

  • Fun combination, and the timing was good. It is not Lehrer's best but well chosen here.

  • The force is strong with this one. The ONE thing you were missing was Mannequin Skywalker getting toasted by the riverside.

  • Very clever merging of Lehrer and Lucas. Nicely edited.

  • You can't beat Lehrer for humor.

  • little too much episode three and repeated footage.

    still enjoyable.

  • what is name of the movies?

  • what do you mean, they are the star wars movies

  • thanks I only saw the first movie when it came out but I walked out in late 70's as the movie sucked IMO

  • The very first movie was "Star Wars" (1977). The next one was "The Empire Strikes Back" (1980). After that came "The Return of the Jedi"(1983). Then came "Episode I: The Phantom Menace" (1999), "Episode II: Attack of the Clones" (2002), and "Episode III: Revenge of the Sith" (2005). (The original three movies were renumbered after the release of the "episodes", which were prequels.)

  • WHO DON'T KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Lehrer is one of greatest satirists of the 2o th century. Pity he retired from music and went back to academia so young.

  • well funny

  • Absolutely incredible!

  • fantastic.. i've been playing it all morning.. funny nedy and perfectly put together. 5/5 from me

  • Tom Lehrer AND Star wars at the same time...I'm basking in the warm glow of my nerddom!

  • ha that was rather ...uh...interesting...

  • Very well done. 5 stars from me too.

  • bloody fantastic 5 stars lol scotty:0)

  • lol well funny song

  • i love it it is really good another one of those would be really really good!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Nice version of "We'll all go together..." unfortunately sans that wonderful couplet "Down by the old maelstrom, there'll be a storm before the calm" lol

  • I somehow now have a vision of someone singing that at a peace conference. Or any time someone says "OMG country X might have nuklear weapons!!. This means war!"

  • I have'nt heard any Lehrer for yrs such clever man what a dry wit fab!

  • A welcome reminder of the conditions which rendered everyone born before 1980 a traumatized veteran of the Cold War.

  • Excellent!!!

  • There's another version of this song that includes the lines, "We will all go directly to our respective Valhallas/Go directly, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollas!"

    Tom Lehrer's cleverness with rhymes was amazing. "There will be no more misery/When the world is our rotisserie"... When the air becomes uranious/We will all go simultaneous." Cole Porter, eat your heart out!

  • Until now, I had never heard anything by Tom Lehrer with a full orchestral accompaniment. What was the source?

    Very good use of images -- I would never have thought of matching Star Wars footage with that song, but it works!

  • witty words coupled with excellent video

  • brilliantly matched!

  • ROFLMAO!! That was awesome! I've done a couple of vids to Lehrer myself. That was worthy of a KOBA-TV stamp of approval!

  • The video was really well done! Fitting images, but not cheesy. I love Tom Lehrer

  • star wars and tom lehrer....this is awesome!

    oooohhh...with orchasta

  • Pure genius. Congrats.

  • Very creative.

    :)

  • Great! Finally some Tom Lehrer, brilliantly matched with the video as well.

  • I agree! Tom would approve.

  • hehehehe... it's great!

  • Great video, and bonus points for adding Dr. Demento classic Tom Lehrer! I swear that guy is a genius (more than literally, he is/was a mathematics professor), for writing a darkly and ironically funny song about mutually assured destruction.

  • You have actually just made my day.

  • Wonderful juxtaposition of Tom Lehrer and Star Wars - Great. Also, I've never heard the full orchestral version before.

  • Very well done, good sync of the music to the speed of the scenes. That's a 5er, everybody. ;)

  • Like old times...too cool!

  • Glad to hear ANY Tom Lehrer on youtube. Thank you.

  • lol

    peaceverydayourway...

  • Rofl.

  • never skips a beat.

  • Only after watching it about a dozen times did I realise that the words literally correspond to the pictures. 5 Death Stars!
