  • and once again it has been proven i was born about 50 to late to hear real music

  • It is amazing how much the world has changed!

  • Gosh I love him :-)

  • Genius of musical satire, Tom Lehrer graduated Magna Cum Laude in Mathematics, @ 19 w/AB from Harvard; Masters Degree, Phi Beta Kappa, too. Taught Math at Harvard, Wellesley, then with political dept. at MIT, retiring from academia after teaching math to Liberal (of course) Arts students, additionally theater arts, UC Santa Cruz. Much under appreciated man of INFINITE talent, his last course was on the subject of 'Infinity.' My politics do not align w/ his, but

    I so appreciate his gifts to us

  • @ThePianoMuseum It wasn't so much Americanised as adapted to the topic of the Frost Report on Medicine in which it was performed. And. like Ms Grenfell's version, it was based on Coward's "up yours" to the Ministry of Information :-)

  • OMG he's in blurry colour! I don't think I've seen that yet. Really cool.

  • The guy at the end looked down because Mrs.Massin was his mom

  • @ThePianoMuseum

    You've got me curious. I've tried searching for the Joyce Grenfell version, but to no avail. If you have a recording of it, might you consider posting it, please? I'd quite like to hear it.

    Thank's & have a great day!

    Sincerely yours,

    Ed Falvo.

  • The song is timeless and so is Tom's performance.
