Enable 480p and use the arrow icon! "National Brotherhood Week" and "When You Are Old and Gray" are now REPUBLISHED yet another time to celebrate a lot of video views for the first versions published to YouTube. Why? Well, to offer the song(s) in (even) slightly better quality. The old versions are still on the channel, but use HQ if possible and play back the video on a single YouTube page to get a bigger video window. And yes, this video is actually TWO songs: "National Brotherhood Week" and "When You Are Old And Gray", with Lehrer's entrance to the stage and with his spoken intro's.

In 2008 Lehrer really said "OK" to "The Tom Lehrer Wisdom Channel" on YouTube, as long as the performance is not altered and as long as it's free in the YouTube flash video format. Buy the NEW DVD here:

I 1st became aware of Mr Lehrer as a teen in Australia in the 1980s.My family would watch the cheesy New Faces talent show on tv,& I fled to my room to listen to Dr.Demento on the radio.Mr.Lehrer was a revelation.I always assumed US comedy of this era was all Lucille Ball & Laugh In.He was hip,smart,funny & so ahead of his time.I wore out 'An Evening Wasted With' & gave copies to at least 4 friends.If the good Prof reads YT,thanks a bunch,Sir,for giving us such pleasure with yr comedic genius.

@ScattySafari, I really enjoyed this comment :-) Thank you!

The beginning was SO TRUE during segregation. and ... the rest is also true :).

[6funswede]

@mabarry3, well yes, it's hard to contradict his message in "When You Are Old And Gray", isn't it? How about sending an email with the video link to a married couple you know? But they must have a sense of humor...

I'm 10 and commenting on Youtube- haha I love Tom Lehrer- got all his CDs

[6funswede]

@CpRegiment, oh man, did I love this comment? Yes!

[mabarry3]

I wonder if what happened in When You Are Old and Gray caused him to do what he did in I Hold Your Hand in Mine. Did she lose her fertility and desirability... so he k-- ... Just watch I Hold Your Hand in Mine.

I'm a Jewish kid, and Tom Lehrer is my IDOL. He's a genius comedian. I'm writing a song called "The GOP Dance" and am thinking of putting it up on my channel. To Lehrer!

[mbj057]

I love this, absolutely fantastic :P

[mabarry3]

@Mirkwoodelves Ah, sorry, I've not heard that analogy before. Thanks for the clear-up though. :)

[Grey13Human]

Genius.

"You can tolerate 'em if you try" so funny'n apt

@6funswede Norsk folk er slik høflig. Thank you for the upload, Tom's satire is timeless, but he spoiled my golf last Sunday. I couldn't get 'National Brotherhood Week' out of my head. It's impossible to focus when you're laughing inside.

[Mirkwoodelves]

@mabarry3

It's metaphorical---he means "December" as in the end of life, and "May" as in the middle(ish) of life. It's not an uncommon analogy.

[stilicho2]

@ScattySafari Yes, it's surprising, but some yanks are TOLERABLE. Whod'a THO'T?!

[Cthlhu4President]

@CpRegiment you lucky little kid
