Meet Tom Lehrer (born April 9, 1928), the genius American musical satirist, comedian, songwriter and performer. These rare videos from the NRK in Norway are Lehrer only with twelve songs, watched more than 3.2 million times. The website link above contains interviews and bios. Lehrer did not contribute to this publishing, but in 2008 he said "OK".

Watch HQ! The songs have been re-uploaded with a working HQ-button. Use the latest versions if possible. Click on the playlists button and then on the first video in the main playlist. You'll get the songs in the right order from one of his last major paid appearances, recorded to video in 1967. If played on a standard white YouTube page the HQ video window will become bigger.
About Me:
 
No, this channel is Tom Lehrer only. 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 playlists button will also let you enjoy Lehrer's songs for children and his math songs.

In life, Lehrer was mostly a mathematician and a university lecturer. He retired in 2001. Visit the website to hear him talk on the radio, to read interviews or to learn more about him. Check out his appearances on TV or the story behind this rare collection of his comedy songs on video. Buy Lehrer's songs here:

I grew up in a small town in Australia called Gundagai in the 1950s. My parents had all the Tom Lehrer records. I loved the irreverance and Tom's unnerving capacity to "take the mickey" (probably an Irish expression). His "jewish left wing commie" politics must have caused all sorts of grief for him in the great bastion of democracy but as a little red neck righwing country boy I loved him and although I am no longer little or red neck or a country boy I still love those songs. I don't want to believe that these are the only video recordings.
Thanks Tom, Doug

msfyn, thank you, yes, Tom Lehrer's songs deserve to be listened to -- and watched -- by as many people as possible. The songs are now available in better quality too. Do you have any friends who are not aware of...?
