  • He sounds almost exactly the same. It's bizarre.

  • I wonder why he substituted "sparrow" for "squirrel."

    Surely in senility he hasn't fallen into political correctness!

    Great video.

  • @san2chi it maybe because there are now protected species of squirrel?

  • When it comes to immortality, I don't expect it for myself. But may Tom Lehrer (with whom I share a birthday -9 April) never die. Truly the greatest, most engaging satirist and humorist who ever lived.

  • Not only he sounds exactly the same, he looks almost exactly the same. Same composure, some position at the piano while making the intro... Wonderful. He is just wonderful.

  • "If, after hearing my songs, just one human being is inspired to say something nasty to a friend, or perhaps to strike a loved one, it will all have been worth the while." - Tom Lehrer

  • @Vadergeek he really does...

  • Who is this brash young newcomer??

  • Lucky, lucky, lucky people to have been there for that. Wonderful man, wonderful music. How I wish he had written (and commented) upon life a little more. Thank you for posting.

  • Absolutely, amazingly, wonderful footage. Truly a treat.

    The appearances by Tom Lehrer are rare enough to make each one truly special.

    (Am I gushing too much?)

  • @kinkyplunk Just because he had WIzard Hitler in the back of his head doesn't mean he deserves to be poisoned with cyanide.

  • Where has this man been all my life? Just discovered and cant get enough.
