No playback? READ THIS: On November 9th 2008 some users reported that this video would not play back properly. They got the message "video no longer available". This is a YouTube screw-up, although an older browser can also cause problems. Try to add &fmt=18 to the url for the video page to change the playback quality. Report further errors to me via the channel front page. And do not expect too much from the low-capacity YouTube servers. Remember the American saying: "There's no such thing as a free lunch".
This is a Lehrer song dealing with US foreign policy.
The song will not appeal to everyone in the US. Neither will this article:

Lehrer said "OK" to "The Tom Lehrer Wisdom Channel" on YouTube, as long as the performance is not altered and as long as it's free for online viewing only. Do not ask for video originals, ever again.
One YouTube user suggested that the word "Marines" should have a capital letter M. It has been changed in the title on the page. The video has also been republished with the title spelled right and in widescreen. Check under video responses, or click the Lehrer icon and visit the channel's front page.
The channel is Lehrer only. Here is a link to a NEW channel support page:

yeah and mcCain ... ( 2 months ago by Alexn1067)

yeah and mcCain never made a trip out to a military hospital in germany then decided not to visit the troops because there were no cameras allowed in the hospital. Just goes to show what a fucking fake obama is. Only doing good when the camera is rolling. But if no one will see it, fuck the wounded troops right?

Yeah, because ... ( 2 months ago by BellaChloe3)

Yeah, because McNasty campaigned only in east bum**** America because he thought Germany was still divided. And last I checked, going abroad and EXPANDING HORIZONS was a lot better than referring to people as "****ing Eskimos."
Anyway, retard, Obama won. So suck it. Assuming you're not already.

Barack Obama is not a communist you idiot.

lol, I am actually looking forward to these next 4 years because now you fucking libs have no one else to blame for the bad shit thats been happening. Now we'll see if your messiah boy can deliver. I am going to enjoy watching you piss and moan as the dems drag this country down in flames. It will be entertaining

It can't be much ... ( 2 months ago by BellaChloe3)

It can't be much worse than the 12+ years you retarded conservatives have had control of the country. Or were you asleep for 50 years? Stop listening to Rush Limbaugh (who was caught popping pain pills) and watching Fox News.

thats funny that ... ( 2 months ago by Alexn1067)

thats funny that you mention rush Limbaugh, I know why you did because he is a thorn in your side, he imbarasses guys like you every day. Ok, so he had a pain pill problem, Ted kennedy killed a young woman driving drunk and then didn't report the accident to anyone until hours later. Bill clinton was a draft dodger, al gore smoked dope. It goes on and on, so don't bring in petty issues, every political fiqure has weak spots as they are human beings. Some worse then others.

I don't watch CNN ... ( 2 months ago by BellaChloe3)

I don't watch CNN either. I tend to stay away from news your friends like to buy. I get the news from yahoo and local stations like any normal person under 30.

Haha, Tom Lehrer is the best comedy song writer! I love how people are talking about Commies and Barack Hussein and the Communist News Network, I mean CNN. Anyway, Tom Lehrer is the BEST!

READ ME: On Sunday November 9th people reported that this video "was no longer available". This is a YouTube screw-up, although if you use an old browser, you can also have problems.

Im a brit, and i can see that that article is completely wrong. Almost every single aspect is wrong in every way. im not gonna highlight em all here, but it is a complete twisting if the truth in so many aspects.
U seen intelligent, 6funswede. Reconsider the link. think over all america has done, good& bad.

Unfortunately you are preaching to people who can not think for themselves. You and I both know that what your saying is true, but your trying to explain the obvious to someone who will not listen to you even if you have hard evidence otherwise. Rest assure, there are more sensible people like us out there!

anruiukimi, thanks, yes, it's true and should be remembered. The recording is from September 1967, and the song is even older :-)

Hahaha, like the TV-quality B&W recording wasn't a giveaway. ;)
I love Tom Lehrer, loved him for years. Thanks for the videos. :)

anruiukimi, again ... ( 2 weeks ago by 6funswede)

anruiukimi, again thanks. But to be honest you should be thanking Lehrer himself. This is a very exotic posting that stays because he's so cool with it :-)

I enjoy Tom Leher ... ( 1 week ago by slips71)

I enjoy Tom Leher he's fantastic.
In regards to the article, I find it short sighted. While not all U.S. aggression in the world has been for the noblest means, e.g. much of the cold war was setting up a buffer against Russia.
but when a dictator in no name country A starts gassing its people, everyone gets upset that no one does anything and then proceed to get upset when we do 'send in the marines' there is usually much more to american aggression...of course self interest also comes in

Thank you Tom for ... ( 2 hours ago by bwworld)

Thank you Tom for allowing these videos to be posted. Ever since my parents bought That Was The Year That Was itin the late 60s, I've been a big fan, and know a disturbingly large number of your songs by heart.
