Tom Lehrer - Poisoning Pigeons In The Park (live, 1998).

When it comes to immortality, I don't expect it for myself. But may Tom Lehrer (with whom I share a birthday -9 April) never die. Truly the greatest, most engaging satirist and humorist who ever lived.

Not only he sounds exactly the same, he looks almost exactly the same. Same composure, some position at the piano while making the intro... Wonderful. He is just wonderful.

"If, after hearing my songs, just one human being is inspired to say something nasty to a friend, or perhaps to strike a loved one, it will all have been worth the while." - Tom Lehrer

Who is this brash young newcomer??

[AustinSomerset]

Lucky, lucky, lucky people to have been there for that. Wonderful man, wonderful music. How I wish he had written (and commented) upon life a little more. Thank you for posting.

Absolutely, amazingly, wonderful footage. Truly a treat.

The appearances by Tom Lehrer are rare enough to make each one truly special.

(Am I gushing too much?)

Where has this man been all my life? Just discovered and cant get enough.

[kinkyplunk]

Always found quirrel much funnier. FANTASTIC performance though. Great guy.

@kinkyplunk Just because he had WIzard Hitler in the back of his head doesn't mean he deserves to be poisoned with cyanide.

He sounds almost exactly the same. It's bizarre.

@Vadergeek His piano technique is much better in the older version.

[crippmeister]

@ixd735 to be fair, I hope my technique is still as good when I'm in my 70s

[xavierrrr]

@Vadergeek he really does...

[san2chi]

I wonder why he substituted "sparrow" for "squirrel."

Surely in senility he hasn't fallen into political correctness!

Great video.
