Saw a post about Wernher von Braun today and had to post this. Such clever satire! January 20, 2022 at 12:31 am Reply
All of his songs are great – if you can handle the symposium banter always in the background. January 20, 2022 at 1:12 am Reply
I’m a huge spaceflight and rocketry nerd, and while von Braun was a great man, he wasn’t a good man. Happy to see his name properly besmirched here, a good laugh! January 20, 2022 at 1:53 am Reply

“It is a sobering thought that when Mozart was my age, he had been dead for two years.” May Mr. Lehrer never die. He’s still kicking at 93 years old. January 20, 2022 at 3:18 am Reply
Now that war with Russia is looming again, I think it’s time to revisit the old classic [So Long, Mom (A Song for World War III)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrbv40ENU_o) And for the epilogue: [We Will All Go Together When We Go](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIoBrob3bjI) January 20, 2022 at 9:40 am Reply

Tom Lehrer is always worth a watch and an upvote.
Holy Shit. Tom Lehrer has zero chill. Loved this.
How beautifully sang and played.
