Tom Lehrer: I Got It From Agnes (rare video recording)
Loading...
Uploaded by analog36 on Jan 28, 2010
***NEWSFLASH*** (see update below) This video will be taken down on 13April2010 when ShoutFactory releases the first-ever Tom Lehrer DVD Video Collection (on which this clip is included!)
(UPDATE 27July2010 - I was given reassurance that Mr. Lehrer himself does not mind having this video on YouTube...that, and the fact that this song is so popular, has convinced me to just keep it up here for people to enjoy. I do urge you to purchase the Tom Lehrer CD-DVD on Shout Factory if you can - it is fantastic!)
Original Blurb: What can I say, this is a classic. Tom (if you're out there) you have brought more than your share of humor to a world desperately in need of laughter, but even more in need of sanity. Your music will live on for centuries (or at least as long as English survives). Here's a toast, to your health and strength, and....umm, any new songs?

@mzmadmike hypocrites should be ashamed of theyselves. People shouldn't.

HIV :) thats what it should be about

This is definitely about sex. The line 'Lucky Pierre' (as a reference to the guy in the middle in a threesome) doesn't help.

@mzmadmike I thought it was a about cold-sores xD
Although it really does sound like STDs xD

@thecerpent I don't know, but I do know that I got it the first time I heard this song sooo many years ago. I mean, it's Pierre, Francois, and Jacques, all French male names. Even as a kid, this was kind of obvious.

Tom Lehrer- The Irish balladby Fleshcraft99,697 views
The song is about the flu, of course, and you people should be ashamed of yourselves.

Groucho Marx once said "Any fool can tell a dirty joke and get a laugh but it takes talent to get a laugh from a clean joke."
To which I say Tom Lehrer is not just any fool.
