I wish the footage of Tom would play all way through without the interruptions of the text every 2 seconds! Having said that thanks alot for uploading them! :)

He is an original. Heard him many years ago at a club at Cape Cod on Route 28. I was one of the lucky ones. Sherry Starr

Tom Lehrer taught mathematics at US Santa Cruz thru at least the 1970's, when I left the red woods.

Thanks for alerting us to the DVD *and* for the snippet of wonderful interview. He's so low-key (not that I'd expect anything else, knowing a tiny bit about his temperament. ) I'm sorry I didn't know about this around Xmas - but anytime is a good time for Tom Lehrer!

[@6funswede]

@TheLogicalGod,it´s called "Selling Out" and it`s a Tom Lehrer gem. And yes, it´s included in The Tom Lehrer Collection. I sincerely hope that both Republicans and Democrats in the United States will realize what a total comedy genius this man is. Spread the word, because -- as a Christmas gift -- the collection will make people smie :-) We all need some smiles!

[@6funswede]

@yrojjory, my apologies for the delay here. No, this interview is of course not on The Tom Lehrer Collection. It´s a novelty really, an old interview, used here to make people aware of the fact that this genius is now available on DVD. I`m not getting paid for saying this, but here you have the comedy Christmas gift of the year in 2010, 2011, 2012...

[@6funswede]

@hergrace, yes it is. Tom Lehrer does not want to promote The Tom Lehrer Collection or do interviews or anything like that. But even if this video was published as a hint before Christmas 2010, the fact is that the collection is a wonderful gift to a friend or enemy at birthdays or just when you want cheer them up. Forward the link to this video to anybody who may be interested. It's a wonderful gift for 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015...

[@6funswede]

@msfyn, it is available on Amazon.com, but not in the stores, no. Get the collection online and give it to some friends and enemies. And be a part of the jungle drums: spread the word :-)

[@6funswede]

@coincidal, yes, I know. I´m sorry. It was an attempt to conceal the truth about where the (VERY RARE) material came from. This clip isn´t the usual "run-of-the-mill" KZbin material, to say the least.

[@SebastianTwilicornZachariassen]

Tom Lehrer is the best :D

[@ahrinin]

Added to the wishlist! :D

[@javakogan]

I bought it, thank you!

[@RobertBalto]

or you could find the stuff yourself and if you can't you can show gratitude to those who took the time to upload rare Lehrer interviews like this and accept that they'll present it in any way they please hahaha

[@msfyn]

@storeugle and all the very best to you and your family.

[@jessicawalker6715]

This looks like an epic Christmas present - for myself. Does it come in a DVD Region 2 version?

[@elanmg]

Where is this original interview footage from?

[@vigwig]

Yes please, me wants the precious!

[@msfyn]

You bring the DVD and I'll bring the peanuts ........ will this be available in Australia?

[@6funswede]

@ArsonistInUrFirewall, well, Lehrer is a satirist :-))

[@yrojjory]

I don't recall seeing this interview or any other interviews on the DVD (which I ordered the day it was released). Did I miss something or was some of the material (such as what is seen here) not provided?

[@msfyn]

@storeugle Okay you have a date - seems I will be buying this for myself, wrapping it and placing it under the Christmas tree . ... and WOW what an unexpected suprise for me on Christmas morning. Bring 6funswede along as well .

[@TheLogicalGod]

What song is that at the end?

[@strongwilledwoman]

TheLogicalGod The song is "Selling Out".

[@nataliep.9047]

The text is irritating.

[@msfyn]

@storeugle All the more the merrier. I have an idea - you gift wrap yours and mark it "with love from me" and I'll do the same. And we will both open a gift from a friend and such a suprise it will be. I'm game if you are.............
