Tom Lehrer songs on iTunes (outside the U.S.):

http://www.apple.com/search/ip oditunes/?q=Tom+Lehrer

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. Use the link below to read more about the Kreisler/Lehrer discussion:

http://home.broadpark.no/~emey n/tl/kreisler.html

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.

Tom Lehrer songs on iTunes (outside the U.S.):

http://www.apple.com/search/ip oditunes/?q=Tom+Lehrer

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.

Meet Tom Lehrer (born 1928), the genius American musical satirist/songwriter and performer. These super rare videos are Lehrer only with twelve songs in the main playlist, watched more than 2.7 million times. The channel is non-commercial and the website link above should also be used.

Some songs were published twice, the last time to include spoken intro's and/or widescreen. Lehrer did not contribute to the publishing, but he said "OK". Find the main playlist to play the songs in the right order from one of his last major paid appearances, recorded to video in 1967.
About Me: No, this is about Tom Lehrer only. Use the main playlist or click the link for "uploads" and select a video. The most popular songs are about Wernher von Braun, poisoning pigeons and the Vatican. Enjoy some of Lehrer's wisdom and 'accumulated philosophic or scientific knowledge'.

The extra playlists have Lehrer's children's and math songs or favorites.

In life, Lehrer was mostly a university lecturer. He retired in 2001. Use the website link to hear Lehrer talk, to read interviews or to learn more about him. Read about his appearances on TV or radio or this rare collection of his songs on video.

The songs are © 2009 Tom Lehrer.

6funswede,
I must thank you very much for your channel. I absolutely love Tom Lehrer's dry and at times dark humor. Is there a way I can download these songs to my iPod? Please comment back! Thank you again!
agoldringtajalli (2 weeks ago)
Dear Tom, I have been hoping you are still able to write and wondering where you were and what you were doing. Please, where is your song on Dick Cheney. And why have you been silent all these years. Now that you are retired from teaching math, where is your view on what has been going on over the last 30 years.
jsallen1946 (2 weeks ago)
Please restore theoriginal 4/3 aspect ratio, the way the videos were recorded. The original camera work was done for the aspect ratio used at the time. You are not "adding widescreen" -- you are subtracting the top and bottom of the picture, and in the process, also making it blurrier because it is enlarged. Often we lose Lehrer's hands or the top of his head. Please.
