## Description

Tom's first hits CD and first live DVD in one set! You'll hear his whimsically skewering songs (Fight Fiercely, Harvard; When You Are Old and Grey; Smut; New Math; the Masochism Tango; I Got It from the Agnes; the Vatican Rag, and more) and see videos, animated clips from the Electric Company and a 1967 Oslo concert by the man Dr. Demento called "the best musical satirist of the 20th century"!

    You already have most of these songs, but you do not have the Lehrer in concert videos
  

*by L***O on Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2010*

I had a teacher in elementary school who played us 
  
Spike Jones







  
  
     songs from time to time, which introduced me to the joys of funny songs.  Yeah, there were novelty hits like "They're Coming to Take Me Away" and "Please Mr. Custer," but these were mostly done by one hit wonders.  Then I discovered the 
  
Smothers Brothers







  
  
     in the 1960s.  It was not until the 1970s that a friend introduced me to Tom Lehrer and I discovered he was a staple on 
  
Dr Demento







  
  
    .  For a while I had to suffice with hearing "The Masochism Tango" and "The Vatican Rag" from time to time, until I was able to get tapes of Lehrer's albums and revel in his particular brand of insanity.  As the years have gone by it has been nice to see his songs pop up from time to time, such as when Douglas Wambaugh (for the defense) sang "Who's Next?" on "
  
Picket Fences







  
  
    " or when April Nardini's class sang "The Elements" on a school bus trip on "
  
Gilmore Girls







  
  
    ."  Once you hear Tom Lehrer's songs, it is hard to forget them and you will find yourself humming "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park" when spring gets sprung each year.  It goes without saying, that Lehrer is my favorite mathematician.Often people buy greatest hits collections because they do not have any of the albums by an artist.  But I am willing to bet that most of the people who buys "The Tom Lehrer Collection" already have all of his other albums on CD.  That being said, there are three reasons for Lehrer's fans to pick up this collection.  The first is the DVD, that includes a dozen songs from a concert Lehrer gave in Oslo, Norway in 1967 (10 of the songs are also on the CD), along with bonus videos of eight more songs, half of which are the animated clips from "The Electric Company."  I did not know that Lehrer was doing songs for that show or I would have been watching it to catch "L-Y," "Silent E," and the others, which I first heard when Lehrer's albums were first released on CD.  So it was a treat to finally see the pictures that go with the words.  Second, on the CD there are several songs that I had never heard before, such as "I Got It From Agnes," "Selling Out," and "(I'm Spending) Hanukkah in Santa Monica."  Beyond that, all of the classics Lehrer songs are here, although I will confess that I think the album should include "I Hold Your Hand," a song that I like to sing to unsuspecting women from time to time so I can endear myself to them, and "Oedipus Rex," which I always played my students before we starting reading Sophocles' tragic play, but since I have them on CD already, that is not a real complaint.  Third, Tom Lehrer is still alive and therefore getting royalties for this album, and given all the joy and laughter he has given us over the years, he can certainly have some more of my money.  Plus, the sale price on this CD/DVD combo is pretty sweet.

    This is a one of a kind, one-stop entertainment resource for people with sense of humor!

This man is such a legend.  His Vatican rag song made me laugh for days after I first heard it.  I purchased this copy of the album for my uncle as a Christmas gift.  I knew he would get a big kick out of Tom Lehrer’s musical creations and comedy.  If you haven’t heard Tom Lehrer’s stuff and you enjoy people like Tim Minchin, Click buy now and get this record right away (Compact disc album, really, but record sounds cooler).  Hope you enjoy it as much as I already have!
