Enable 480p and use the arrow icon! "Who's Next" is now REPUBLISHED yet another time to celebrate a lot of video views for the first two versions published to YouTube. Why? Well, to offer the song in (even) slightly better quality. The old version is still on the channel. "Who's Next" is unfortunately still a hot topic today. Iran will maybe have the bomb ready before South Africa? Or do they have the bomb already? What about North Korea? This is the second republished version as of August 2009, and, as mentioned, you should use the HQ-button and enjoy Lehrer's original intro.

In 2008 Lehrer really said "OK" to "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.

  • "First we got the bomb and that was good.

    Cuz' we like peace and motherhood."

    Anyone but me who thinks that doesn't give sense?

  • @PSReldus, no, I believe most people who listen to Tom Lehrer know a thing or two about satire.

  • @6funswede Who is he referring to when he says you-know-who?

  • @mabarry3, it's Israel. This concert was recorded just three months after the six-day war between Israel and Egypt in 1967.

  • Pure, unadulterated genius. Truly makes me want to weep with joy to think that a human being wrote and sang this.

  • Personaly, I will NOT be remaining serene or calm if Alabama gets the bomb!

  • mind if I say I hate the GEMA?? This damn institution has blocked about half of those beautiful lehrer songs for germany:'(

  • @mabarry3 yes, we should help the terrorists wipe us out.

  • @ThePhatGamer thats google for you XD

  • lol at 1:24 google says he said "china got the commonwealth leaders and they can wipe us out for at least five years" o.O

  • This video is hilarious. Tom Lehrer was a genius (Like everyone else before me said). By the way, at 2:00 the captions say "Slow israel's death sentence, wants one in self defense, and the lord is a national guard." the google captions are so weird...

  • You know, I don't think that a bomb would hurt Voldemort very much. He would just apparate away.
