Tom Lehrer
On the occasion of the mathematician's 90th birthday, someone chose Lehrer's best 10 songs. That's a task I wouldn't attempt because I love all his songs, but here goes.
10 - Folk Song Army https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tDZ...ature=youtu.be 9 - Poisoning Pigeons in the Park https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNA9...ature=youtu.be 8 - Silent E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91BQ...ature=youtu.be 7 - The Hunting Song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQyo...ature=youtu.be 6 - Masochism Tango https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TytG...ature=youtu.be 5 - Clementine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5u4...ature=youtu.be 4 - National Brotherhood Week https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgAS...ature=youtu.be 3 - The Irish Ballad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47bK...ature=youtu.be 2 - New Math https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6Oa...ature=youtu.be 1 - A Christmas Carol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ck-F...ature=youtu.be |
Any list that puts "Clementine" over "Werner von Braun" is patently ridiculous.

Where is "Be Prepared" ?

I agree with both of you, but this was one guys list and like I said, I couldn't do it.:rolleyes:
|
I often wonder if he still performs or writes,
He has always been one of my favorites. "The Elements" has very doubtfully ever been covered. It is a masterpiece and keeps growing. |

Fun fact: the line about "a Girl Scout who is similarly inclined" (timestamp 1:26) was originally about another boy scout, but censors of the day considered a gay joke to be one step too far, so he had to change it.

'We Will All Go Together When We Go'. How was that missed?
