Tom Lehrer - So Long, Mom (A Song for World War III)

Enviado por: 6funswede
Descripción del video:
"So Long, Mom (A Song for WW III)" speaks for itself, but it is nice that you can be on TV just because you are a soldier :-)
Lehrer said "OK" to "The Tom Lehrer Wisdom Channel", 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.
Click on the Lehrer icon and visit the channel's front page. The channel is Lehrer only. And here is a link to a NEW channel support page:

a Holocaust is a mass extinction, or attempted mass extinction of a race. There is no real set death toll.

well then Lawler016 does that mean we should class wars as holocausts then?including the war against Ireland by the Brits,for example in the early 80s there were under 1 million people living in Ireland,200 years before that there was 3 million,and 800 years before that there was around 7 million,if you take the amount of Irish people in the U.S today,most of those peoples ancestors never wanted to leave Ireland long ago,Americans have to understand that the Irish were pushed/killd from Ireland.

Jim, this will probably be in vain, but you should learn some history because the British oppressed the Irish for a very long time. I believe the British banned the Irish from their own parliament in the late 1600's and held control well into the early 1900's. However this is not the place for this discussion and if you wish to continue it I suggest you message me. 6funswede apologies for the de-rail and thank you for post all of these wonderful videos.

Wars aren't aimed at the mass extinction of a certain race. I merely provided the answer to your previous question.

The difference ... ( 3 meses por SKareKrohX)

The difference between a war and a Holocaust is that a Holocaust, ("great fire") is actually used to described the "Systematic Killing" of a particular group of people. It doesn't have to based on race. : )

This is by far my favorite song, beating Who's Next and Poisoning Pigeons only by a very small margin. Lehrer is pure genius.

Pure genius. Maybe some day people like Lehrer will be in charge of the government. Nah, way too many morons.

Appropriate, articulate and devastatingly correct. Job well done!

Firstly thanks 6funswede so much for putting these up. I stumbled across When You Are Old and Grey yesterday and after watching these vids I'm pricing his albums on amazon so thank you.
Don't want to go off on a tangent but thanks crazedkid103 for the defense. As an Irish person and History student it's greatly appreciated. Britian had a complicated past with Ireland long before and after 1600s. Far too complicated for some debate on youtube so thanks for showing sense to a comment like that.

Yes, yes, yes ... ... ( 2 meses por ageofconfusion)

Yes, yes, yes ... Tom Lehrer is God. Or at least, he's Elvis. I mean, of course, the Elvis of singing and satirizing Mathmaticians. Or something like that. Anyway, he's great, a true (not-so-)secret(-anymore) classic, a polished gem of a sarcastic motherlover, so 10.000 thanks to 6funswede for making all this rare footage available.
And btw, I don't care if this one has interlacing issues - it's hereby featured! ;P

This was originally written by him for NBC's "THAT WAS THE WEEK THAT WAS" in 1964, a highly satiric prime-time weekly "revue" that poked fun at current events, for which Tom wrote several topical songs, which he later recorded in concert for Reprise records in July 1965 ["That Was the Year That Was"], after the show had gone off the air.

In light of today's tensions between nations, Lehrer's song is visionary for that time. Perhaps President Obama can change this?
