I'd like to introduce now the featured artist of this page.
I'm sure that you'll all agree without any hesitation that
Tom Lehrer is the most brilliant creative genius that
America has produced in almost 200 years, so perhaps a few
words of biographical background might not be amiss.
Endowed by nature with perhaps the most glorious baritone
voice to be heard on an American stage since the memorable
concert debut in 1835 of Millard Fillmore; endowed also
with twelve incredibly agile fingers; Mr. Lehrer has had a
long and varied career in the field of entertainment
starting with nine years at Harvard University... where it
was that he first decided to devote his life to what has
since become a rather successful scientific project --
namely, the attempt to prolong ad More...

    Review about Tom Lehrer

    Meh, come on... | Reviewer: Nameless
        ------ About the song Poisoning Pigeons In The Park performed by Tom Lehrer

    It's just a song! It's great and pretty funny. You guys are all crazy getting all upset about a SONG... which doesn't mean they're really poisoning pigeons in any park... You should get a life, before saying foolish like: you should be poisoned instead of birds ¬_¬

        ------ About the song The Old Dope Peddler performed by Tom Lehrer

    Excuse me. Students achieving Oneness will move on to Twoness.

        ------ About the song The Elements performed by Tom Lehrer

    i heard this song like two years ago then heard it on NCIS last nigth and im like omg i love this song i listen to it all the time and am attempting to remember it im getting there *wish me good luck*


    I memorized this in an hour | Reviewer: SKG
        ------ About the song The Elements performed by Tom Lehrer

    I was bored, I watched the animation a dozen times... and... Oops! I've memorized it! Seriously, I get requests from everyone I know to sing this thing. In my chemistry class, my professor told us all to take a piece of paper and list all the elements we can think of before beginning our lesson. I wrote the song. He stared at my paper for about ten minutes. -Go Tom Lehrer! (10/10 song - now I'll go memorize Yakko's World)


    It's a joke | Reviewer: Tom
        ------ About the song Poisoning Pigeons In The Park performed by Tom Lehrer

    This song is very humorous because it sings about a very morbid subject in a joyful, joking manner. It is expected to be taken as such. A joke. Tom Lehrer does not actually spend his Sundays feeding pigeons poison and all those pigeons posting comments (or you pigeon sympathizers out there) need to realize this. Nobody has ever replied to the old joke, "Why did the chicken cross the road," with an astonished, "Are you insane!? Why would a chicken cross the road!? It could be run over!" Have you?


    Far out! | Reviewer: Julia LaFontaine
        ------ About the song The Elements performed by Tom Lehrer

    This is GREAT. Heard it last night on an episode of "NCIS" and had to search for it. I always liked looking at the Periodic Table in Science class and saying the names of the elements, but this is much more fun. (I also have a "Periodic Table of the Fruits and Nuts" poster hanging in my garage, 'cause I'm kinda crazy.)

    The animation is terrific, too; someone had fun creating THAT. Thanks, Tom Lehrer, in whatever plane you might exist now, for a wacky, smile-making song. Now I gotta go look for your other titles.





    Itunes | Reviewer: Brandi
        ------ About the song The Elements performed by Tom Lehrer

    Hi, well at my school we have the choice of either taking the test at the end of the chapter or memorizing this song, does any one possibly know how to get this song on Itunes? it would me much appreciated if somebody could help me...thankyou!


    The best political satirist in our time | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the album That Was the Year That Was performed by Tom Lehrer

    His songs from this album are still in the news today. My brothers and I sing these songs at family gatherings and laugh at how things have stayed the same after too many years to count. Tom Lehrer's songs have brought joy and political discussion to my family for years. We are now teaching his songs to our children and hopefully one day, they will teach them to theirs. However, I hope that by then they will be outdated. Amy Shaye


    Awsome | Reviewer: Empy
        ------ About the song Poisoning Pigeons In The Park performed by Tom Lehrer

    I can't wait to preforme this song in school.
    1. Because the students don't think I can pull it off but if I pulled red shoes with tom waits off I'll pull this one off to!
    2. It's funny and I see myself with a peanut bag on stadge singing about poisoning those non existing pigeons... I assume they will be dancers XD


    Tom Lehrer At His Brilliant Best ! | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song In Old Mexico performed by Tom Lehrer

    Such a great hatchet job on the disgusting "sport" of bullfighting. Yet, paradoxically in this politically correct day & age, its hardly ever played by media outlets; certainly not here in the UK. Perhaps because he has a go at the Mexicans themselves. But they deserve it whilst bullfighting remains legal over there.


    Izvestia | Reviewer: Curt Hoffman
        ------ About the song Lobachevsky performed by Tom Lehrer

    The lyrics are all fine, but the second footnote has missed the point. In German, the phrase "Ich geh' wo der Kaiser geht zu fuesse" (an exact translation of the Russian) refers to the lavatory - to which the king, accustomed to being carried everywhere else, presumably had to go on his own feet. (No wonder the Izvestia review concludes, "It stinks!")


    OMG! | Reviewer: NaZ rAt
        ------ About the song Poisoning Pigeons In The Park performed by Tom Lehrer

    GET OVER YOURSELF | Reviewer: kayley
        ------ About the song Poisoning Pigeons In The Park performed by Tom Lehrer

    this is a hilarious song. it's melody make it seem like a pretty song and then it takes the audience by surprise. its nonsensical and brilliant. if ur obsessing over killing overpopulated pigeons, get over yourself and think about ppl who are dying. its not like pigeons really care about the song.


    Your twisted | Reviewer: none of your business
        ------ About the song Poisoning Pigeons In The Park performed by Tom Lehrer

    Brilliance! Sick, twisted, perhaps... but brilliant! | Reviewer: Noah Brown
        ------ About the song Poisoning Pigeons In The Park performed by Tom Lehrer

    I am a child of 15, and have recently been introduced to Tom Lehrer by word of mouth. The rhymes are very catchy and not the least bit forced.... trust Tom Lehrer for that. ("Cyanide" and "run-and-hide", for example.) It is what I call "dark humor"- morbid and macabre, yet everyone takes it lightheartedly. The song is not intended to encourage the systematic slaughter of pigeons.... :-). Being a singer myself, I have performed this on several occasions. Combine a happy, carefree tune, the universal love of spring, and a maniacal narrator who enjoys slaughtering pigeons, and you have a mix of genius and hilarity that only great artists like Tom Lehrer can create. (And did I mention that he is a brilliant pianist? If you haven't heard it performed, search for it on You Tube and you will most likely find some interesting results.)Don't take it too seriously- just enjoy it while it lasts.


    coooool | Reviewer: molly
        ------ About the song Poisoning Pigeons In The Park performed by Tom Lehrer

    i think that it is a very funny song its funny mad and diffrent. Some peole have said its sick, well they need to lighten up. ITS A JOKE for goodness sake (its not as if pigens can hear it any way.


    ahem | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Poisoning Pigeons In The Park performed by Tom Lehrer

    all you animal rights people need to stop being so focused on that and start focusing on your education..to the people that find this funny you almost have it.. this song is completely satirical and if you didnt know that than you are an idiot.


    Poisoning Pigeons in the Park | Reviewer: Frank Fasano
        ------ About the song Poisoning Pigeons In The Park performed by Tom Lehrer

    From the first time I heard this song (in the early 60's) and the entire album for that matter; I was convinced, Tom Lehrer was not only brilliant but an entertainer who’s style and songs will never grow old. Hell it is now more than 40 years later and I am still purchasing copies of his albums to share with friends of mine spanning ages from the early 20’s to the late 60’s. Everyone enjoys his lyrics as well as his piano accompaniment. For those who may be offended by his lyrics, grow up and relax. For those who are offended, too bad and I guess you can always listen to Lawrence Welk.


    Same Old Song | Reviewer: citizenKen
        ------ About the song The Elements performed by Tom Lehrer

    This song was done in the mid sixties by a math teacher from MIT. I think he went to UC Berkeley at some point. His name is TOm Lehrer. His other songs are hysterical- "Vatican Rag", "Pollution Calypso", "In Old Mexico". They're worth tracking down. Enjoy.
