So glad someone was able to dig up all these clips. Tom Lehrer was a brilliant guy. He was popular in the 60s but is rarely heard about these days. Thanks for posting this! Anyone seeing this who's unfamiliar with his work should look up more of his songs on KZbin.

[@TLSongsss]

Anytime! So grateful to see the Spirit of Tom Lehrer is still alive!

"Rarely heard these days" Daniel Radcliffe, MLP fans, Ludwig shippers, (EDIT: Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality readers) and the Deltarune community: Way ahead of you

[@TLSongsss]

I never watched Harry Potter so I never knew the Harry Potter fan base loved Lehrer so much. However I know Daniel Radcliffe helped bring in new wave of Tom Lehrer fans after singing The Elements on Graham Norton which is cool and all, but still he can be “Rarely heard from”.

[@gabrote42]

@@TLSongsss I suppose! I found him relatively quick despite being from Argentina, so maybe I see him as more famous than he is. Living legend.

[@TLSongsss]

Don’t get me wrong though he should be more famous lol😂

[@alstroemeria5211]

I didn't know Tom Lehrer did a periodic table parody of the Modern Major General, guess I learned something today :)

[@TLSongsss]

I hope you’re taking notes cause they’ll be a quiz next period🤓

[@mikenike038]

i once saw a clip of "we'll all go together when we go" in a documentary by veritasium's derek muller about nuclear reactors or something

[@TLSongsss]

I think I’ve seen that. Been awhile though

[@Yakkymania]

I’m kind of surprised that none of Lehrer’s songs ever showed up on Cheers or Frasier. I can imagine Frasier sat at his piano playing something like Fight Fiercely Harvard perfectly well.

[@Aemlief1]

The greatest Tragedy of media, is that Tom Lehrer was never on Big Bang Theory...

[@TLSongsss]

Probably must confess but I never got into that show. But the clip of Sheldon singing The Elements while drunk was funny though😂

[@nervouswreck1899]

Amazing! Sometimes I feel like the only Tom Lehrer still around, especially with my young age, but its nice to see his work recognized in other ways! Thank you for uploading this!

[@TLSongsss]

You and me both!!! I’d always think I’m the only Tom Lehrer fan around. It’s nice to know his fan base is still alive including fans from Weird Al, Daniel Radcliffe, and Randy Newman😁

[@owlcowl]

@@TLSongsss There are countless (ironic for a mathematician) fans still out here and new ones always discovering Lehrers songs thanx to KZbin and audio streaming, guaranteeing that they will long outlive him (tho we hope they wont have a chance to until hes a centenarian). Daniel Radcliffe alone has created several young enthusiasts from his rendition of The Elements. As someone who grew up with the three LPs and later purchased the CD collection Remains of Tom Lehrer, and can now watch the videos online, I'm confident that new technology will assure rediscovery by each new generation.

[@TLSongsss]

Oh I know there are countless TL fans. It’s just some days I feel like I’m the only one who knows who he is when I talk about him with my friends or family lol😂

[@capnzilog]

All songs in public domain, as per Tom's website! Still alive at 96!

[@TLSongsss]

We know😂

[@sgibson5797]

How did I never hear of these before now? I'm a septuagenarian.

[@markdisney260]

You're too young. Most of these songs are from the 50s and early 60s. Lehrer's still alive - 95!

[@nbenefiel]

How did you miss TomLehrer? I grew up on his songs.

[@martincohen8991]

This is wonderful!

[@TLSongsss]

Thank you!

[@prophetsnake]

You left out A Gathering of Eagles! He wrote a song just for that film.

[@TLSongsss]

I included that in the original but it got copyrighted😭

[@prophetsnake]

@@TLSongsss ah! Fair enough. Odd though, since the movie could probably have benefitted from the exposure you would have provided..

[@duukm]

What was the song in speed?

[@TLSongsss]

Be Prepared. He even says “This is the Boy Scouts marching song”

[@BethDiane]

Fyvush Finkel!

[@TLSongsss]

Yup!!!
