voxpopulai asked:


Recorded in England. Unfortunately there are no other Lehrer in concert videos that I know of, besides the ones on YouTube. Enjoy.

    God i love this guy

  3. SyrPipeOrg says:

    This has to be the most recent recording I’ve ever seen him. Brilliant, as always. I wish he would still perform once in a while. He’d sell out any house he plays.

    I love this guy. He’s the only satrical musician that’s also a mathematician

    My dad has a cd of this and I used to listen to it so many times with him. We even used to sing it in the kitchen much to my sisters disgust.

    I prefer the original lyrics myself!

    Thanks for the memories this brought up and the laughter that came with it!

    I will never tire of Tom Lehrer.

    That Was Very Funny!

    Nope. This was the tribute to Cameron Macintosh. Lehrer surprisingly flew to London and went on live with two songs, after having stayed away from the stage for a long time. Britain’s H.M. The Queen Elizabeth II was present, and I love this Lehrer performance. Mint!

    I guess he’s grown a new respect for squirrels over the years…And a keen dislike of sparows.

  14. sethore1 says:

    haha funfun :) for about half of it i thought he was lipsynching but after the whole thing i dont think so…

  15. ChevyTrucks352 says:

    Sparrow? What happened to the squirrel?

  16. schnellbomber87 says:

    Peanut anyone?

    Tom Lehrer is the meanest, yet funniest man ever! :D

  19. TheRealBladeRunner says:

    I prefer it when he says “squirrel”.

  20. orion7763 says:

    Lehrer’s version is the original. Lehrer came out with Poisoning Pigeons in the 50’s.

  21. DJFPhantomPhan says:

    I second that! I would love to see all of “Hey, Mr. Producer!”

  22. Scorpi978a says:

    I wish, good sir, that the video of him performing ‘Who’s Next?’ from the same gala would appear online.

    “We’ll murder them all amid laughter and merriment, except for the few we take home to experiment!” LOL! brilliant! :)
