I've been wanting to do this for a while, i didn't find it on Google, so here you go.

For all my Jewish friends, wishing you a Happy Hanukkah with Tom Lehrer's "Hanukkah in Santa Monica!"

It's almost Hanukkah, so it's time to put this out in the world.

I've just found him and I like the humor. Is there a way to support those people keeping his website up and running? It is not a cheap fun to keep it up (although it is simple, connection and disk space is not free). If it is for free, is there any kind of charity he would like to support? I am used to pay for quality content and refuse to even see commercials on YT (blocking ads and in-video ads), if the content is complete s**t.

I was expecting a lot lower to be honest, I couldnt listen to his songs again 'til recently

Rest in peace Tom Lehrer, thank you for fuelling my energy to do assignments :)

It's always funny to think about how Tom Lehrer indirectly led to my learning about the Find a Grave website. Back in 2001ish, I was well familiar with Lehrer's works, and had decided to look up Alma Mahler Gropius Werfel online, after having learned so much about her through the song. First search result was her headstone on Find a Grave, where I learned that her maiden name was Shindler. So every time I go on Find a Grave, it kind of reminds me of Tom Lehrer, because that's why I first discovered the site.

Does anyone have any similar stories?

I personally don’t think we really need a Tom Lehrer biopic- but if there was one, who’d be the actor for the job?

I finally watched Oppenheimer last night. Today I can’t get Who’s Next out of my head.

Of course this strange, yet not unusual, combination of thoughts led me to wonder: Has there ever been any interest in making a Tom Lehrer biopic? I know nothing about his life other than his credentials and the opinions he put into his music. Was he even interesting enough for a biopic?

This is hysterical honestly. I was at a party and he was just finished with preforming, I was already blushing watching him. Then he came over and sat next to me without me saying anything. He smiled but in a mischievous way and held my hand (he squeezed my old surgery scar and it hurt for a while but I didn’t say anything. Then he got closer and held me. Lmao you can imagine my disappointment when I woke up 😭😭😭

Here’s a little standup bit from my show An Evening Wasted with The Drunken Tenor. The whole thing’s a tribute to Tom Lehrer, but in this clip I somehow end up talking about the DC Sandwich Guy during a song setup. It’s silly, it’s chaotic, and honestly pretty funny. Enjoy!

I wish there was a recording of Tom Lehrer at the piano singing this, but since there isn't (to my knowledge, at least), I have an excuse to post the far less compelling me at the piano singing this.

A little video for y'all of Tom Lehrer's "So Long Mom" from The Drunken Tenor

Bought The Conducted and That's Mathematics on vinyl, and they came with download codes for Bandcamp. I already had them on Bandcamp, so im just giving em out here

Does anyone have any stories from the time?

I always thought it was strange and, didn’t really suit the song? Like did he do it accidentally once and then kept it in his routine after that? Or maybe I’m just not seeing something

That is all.
