Tom lehrer mp3 torrent download

Back in high school in the 70's, those of us geeks into Tom Lehrer had heard of his little concerts at UCSC and assumed that if we didn't go there, we were never going to hear them. Though we may have thought it tragic, not to mention other adjec-tives we've lived with it all these years. Today I found this and I am so so happy. Whoever is responsible for taping this and sharing it has done us devoted fans a priceless service. Thank you!

I just had to find out if he was still around and - joy of joys - I found this video. Oh, if only there had been a few more hours of it! Still, I'm thankful for this all-too-brief snippet from this remarkable man.

He is neither a helpless inmate nor one of the lunatics running the asylum but one of the few people on the planet able to observe all, with every brain cell warmed up and running with flawless acuity - and get us all laughing at the world's absurdities while wishing that we could do what he does so brilliantly.

Piano technique as polished and sheer enthusiasm as boundless as ever. Long may his chimney continue to put forth smoke.

My friend had this song on his MP3, and gave it to me, i was sooo intrested that i now know them off by heart! I can't believe I came across this!!! I grew up listening to and enjoying them! My parents had all of his records but I enjoyed "Songs by Tom Lehrer" the best!

My favorite is "The Hunting Song! I also love "The Irish Ballad. So great to see a video of him performing! Would love to see an old one! Would love to meet him most of all to let him know how he inspired me and my songwriting! A huge influence!!! Love all of his songs!!! We used to listen to this stuff and try to figure out what he meant as a kid you don't really understand political satire. But it was entertaining anyway.

I had also never seen him live but I think my dad did. The thing that triggered the trip down memory lane was the Google "Quote of the day" for today August, 11, - "On my income tax it says 'Check this box if you are blind. Rock on Tom and keep it coming!! Reviewer: neckfraid - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - July 28, Subject: Recording Details This is great footage.

I'm a long time Tom Lehrer fan, but have never seen him perform. Anyone know any details on the recording? Where it was made? When clearly it's post Andrew Wiles?

Thanks for tracking this down.

I came up with two lame ones, but what a fun thing to try and do!!! I recommend it for wasting time.

Starting his charting of sins and co-sins On his fellow zebras with all of their lines. Take Two: Just how far can algebra steer us? Consider the case of my pal Jeb Ramirez Or put another way, he's not just good for listening. I like the way he was encouraging people to experiment themselves. I guess he got that from having been a teacher. Reviewer: TubaGirl - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - April 18, Subject: Sweet That was one of the coolest things I have ever seen.

I started out by trying to memeriosing the elements song and then I found this movie. I love it.

It was and we were in the process of moving our household from Denver back to Florida, Dad still in CO, Mamma in summer school in Tallahassee, FL upgrading her credentials in special ed.

That summer was magnificent! My birthday in June, the fireflies, the watermelon! When we left for St. Petersurg at the end of summer I was un able to take the two albums with me there was a blue one and an orange one but that was of little consequence because I had committed the lyrics to memory much to the shigrin of my belagured parents who I think tried to leave me, unsucessfully, at several Stuckeys along the way!

L became a rite of passage just as Jack Paar, Lenney Bruce and so many others in the ensueing years. I had not heard "The Elements" in, gosh, it has to be at least thirty years if not more, and I'll be damned it does hold up well doesn't it! The animee rocks! There are no surprises on BOATS, no heartfelt odes to his mother, no unexpected guest features, just track after track of screw face beats, crack peddling and an insatiable appetite for foreign cars, seafood and big bootys. Just take lead single.

But the track is too loose and the mood to mello; Kanye West may be able to hold completely our attention through tempo changes and beat switches, but not Chainz. This is one of those albums that would have been better off five tracks shorter.

So no, Based on a T. Would we even want one? Some music is made to change your life, to change the way you view the world, and some music is made to be entertain.

In the internet age 2 Chainz is perfectly engineered to entertain the hell out of us, and for that we salute him.
