This song really is a show off for all Tom
Lehrer's talents and it'll stay with us as
long as multi racial societies exists on this
earth.
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.
Do NOT ask for any video originals, ever
again.

| Tom Lehrer - Wernher von Braun |
 |
Use the more info link above.
This is how Lehrer himself introduced the
song "Wernher von Braun" when he was
interviewed over the telephone on The Music
Show in Australia:
- - -
Wernher von Braun was a Nazi rocket expert
who as soon as the war was over, America
embraced with open arms and they brought him
over here. He wrote his autobiography, later
paraphrased as 'I Aim at the Stars and
sometimes hit London', and he then came over
and went to Alabama, which was probably the
closest thing to Nazi Germany at the time,
and became a rocket expert here. There was
never any problem, he was embraced, nobody
picketed him or anything like that. And I
think there are many scientists like that
today, but perhaps that's probably an extreme
case. But I think there are many people whom
I've sung that for, I know who laugh at it
and say, 'Oh, that's not me', without
realising that in fact it is them.
What is it that put America in the forefront
of the nuclear nations? And what is it that
will make it possible to spend $20-billion of
your money to put some clown on the moon?
Well it was good old American know-how,
that's what. As provided by good old
Americans like Dr Wernher von Braun.

| Elements by Tom Lehrer |

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.

Again, Lehrer was ahead of his time.
Pollution was not a hot topic in the sixties.
But if Lehrer thought the world was polluted
many years ago, I really wonder what he
thinks today.
