 | Tom Lehrer - Wernher von Braun
Tags: Braun, irony, Lehrer, satire, Tom, von, Werner
Description: Please use the more info link above. And please do also click on username 6funswede and read about this channel.
The German Nazi and rocket scientist Wernher von Braun, who became very popular with the US authorities and all his former Nazi sins disappeared under the American carpet after WW II. When von Braun was alive and working the Americans started their billion dollar spending on things like sending humans into space, as if the problems on the planet we've already got wasn't big enough.
The first eight bars is Lehrer playing the intro to "Deutschland Deutschland über alles". This was also the first Lehrer song published on this channel and the opening credits even spelled this von Braun guy's first name wrong. I'm sorry for that. The punishment should be that I won't ever get a green card. The song itself is musical, it is satire and it is good fun.
Mr. Tom Lehrer did react to "The Tom Lehrer wisdom channel" on YouTube. He said that he is fine with the postings, as long as the performance is not altered and as long as it's free in the YouTube flash video format. Please do NOT ask for any video originals, ever again.

Description: A Useless Bay Production of The Elements Song (or the Periodic Table Song).
Yes, we are very much aware that "silicone" is not the same as "silicon" however there are silicon piano keys in the picture, if anyone has noticed. We aren't chemists, and we aren't even very good animators over here at Useless Bay.

 | Tom Lehrer - The Vatican rag
Tags: Lehrer, musical, rag, ragtime, satire, satirical, song, songs, the, Tom, vatican
Description: Please use the more info link above. And please do also click on username 6funswede and read about this channel.
Tom Lehrer's "The Vatican rag" is a funny and truly important piece. Some users have been offended by this posting. But the Youtube user "mtheadedwally" offered some help. Here is what he wrote:
"This song was written in response the Vatican 2 decree that the music of the liturgy would be modernised. Tom Lehrer was merely responding to this with a suggestion as to how the liturgy might sound in a modern format. There is nothing anti-catholic about it - Lehrer knocks everyone, even his own people and belief systems; it's not an -sm, it's satire. If you are offended by it, then try this; DON'T LISTEN!"
Mr. Tom Lehrer has reacted to "The Tom Lehrer wisdom channel" on Youtube. I've been told that he is fine with the postings, as long as the performance is not altered and as long as it's free in the Youtube flash video format. Please do NOT ask for any video originals, ever again.

 | Tom Lehrer - Poisoning pigeons in the park
Tags: in, Lehrer, musical, park, pigeons, posioning, satire, satirical, song, songs, the, Tom
Description: Please use the more info link above. And please do also click on username 6funswede and read about this channel. This video, as you know already, is Tom Lehrer doing "Poisoning pigeons in the park", written as early as 1952 or 1953 (may be even earlier), years before a German version appeared, for which Lehrer did not get any credit. Sometimes Lehrer himself would cover other people's songs, but they were always credited. "Poisoning pigeons in the park" is a true Tom Lehrer original.
Some people have written messages to this channel, angered because of the posting of this song. They are "friends of all animals", which basically means that they didn't get it.
Mr. Tom Lehrer did, via others, indeed react to "The Tom Lehrer wisdom channel" on Youtube. He said that he is fine with the postings, as long as the performance is not altered and as long as it's free in the Youtube flash video format. Please do NOT ask for any video originals, ever again.

 | Tom Lehrer - Pollution
Tags: environment, Lehrer, pollution, satire, Tom
Description: Please use the more info link above. And please do also click on username 6funswede and read about this channel. Again, Lehrer was ahead of his time. Pollution was not a hot topic in the sixties. But if Lehrer thought the world was polluted in the 1960's, I really wonder what he thinks today.
Tom Lehrer did react to "The Tom Lehrer wisdom channel" on YouTube. He said that he is fine with the postings, as long as the performance is not altered and as long as it's free in the Youtube flash video format. Please do NOT ask for any video originals, ever again.

Description: Please use the more info link above. And please do also click on username 6funswede and read about this channel. "Who's next" is unfortunately still a hot topic today. Iran will maybe have the bomb ready before South Africa? The Wikipedia list of states with nuclear weapons will no doubt continue to grow.
Mr. Tom Lehrer has in fact reacted to "The Tom Lehrer wisdom channel" on Youtube. He said that he is fine with the postings, as long as the performance is not altered and as long as it's free in the Youtube flash video format. Please do NOT ask for any video originals.
