This song could be a (sad) Lehrer profecy :-) Lehrer himself celebrated his 80th birthday on April 9th 2008. It was only right and proper to release "We Will All Go Together When We Go" in March as a "happy birthday" to him.
Watch the song in another version - and a Tom Lehrer on camera statement - from the TV-special "How To Prevent a Nuclear War", directed by Liane Brandon, using this link:
Tom Lehrer said "OK" to The Tom Lehrer Wisdom Channel, as long as the performance is not altered and as long as it is free in the YouTube flash video format. Do NOT ask for a (full quality) copy, ever again.
Click on the Lehrer icon and visit the channel's front page. The channel is Lehrer only. And here is a link to the channel support page:
