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!

One is tempted to rename this song Christmas Day With The Family .

Wishing my Norwegian friend and his family all the very best for Christmas and the year ahead, may it be the beginning of the best years of your life. And to Mr Lehrer I have a park bench reserved in your honour; I shall even supply the peanuts.

[6funswede]

msfyn, thank you so much! I wish you the best for Christmas too, and I wouldn't mind sitting on that bench and giving away a few peanuts myself :-)

"Everyone hates the Jews" He is a Jew himself, and he dissed himself. I love dissing myself!

Ali & Mrs. Wallace? I thought it was Lena Horne and Sheriff Clark dancing cheek to cheek.

@Fireicee1 Speaking the truth=dissing yourself?

@BaronEmpain Google on Tim Minchin. Be ready for a radically different look and style, but the insane cleverness at rhymes and the absurd is all there, as well as the fluency on the keyboard (Minchin improvises things that are a little harder, but much more sloppily -- Lehrer was as elegant in his playing as in his looks). Give a listen to Minchin's beat poem "Mitsubishi Colt," and for one in the spirit of "When you Are Old and Grey," listen to "If I Didn't Have You." Very rich stuff.

[BaronEmpain]

Lehrer's stuff still cuts like a knife which is a amazing for political material....

Where are the likes of him today?

[everydayholidayay]

I adore his talent! ^____^

@MrRETEROROB First heard of him at SUNY New Paltz when the entire faculty was listening to him. The man is brilliant and has an amazing sense of humor. Bless your Mother's heart-her sense of humor is obviously still intact.

tis would be great if it didn't stop 10 seconds in!!

Yay Tom! i had forgotten about 'When You Are Old And Gray'. Best summary of love I've heard.
