Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars TW3 Lives!.......2007-03-30

1965 is looking better every year when one can go back and enjoy Tom Lehrer. Some songs are specific to the date but others (like "Alma") can be enjoyed forever. The concert version (at the "hungry i" in San Francisco) adds so much to this album, huh, CD. Lehrer chips in his funny introductions and the audience laughs heartily. He knows how to pause for the laugh at just the right moment. If only we had Tom Lehrer nowadays to poke fun at our foibles and politics.

5 out of 5 stars That Was the Year That Was.......2007-03-24

This is a superb collection of Tom Lehrer's most memorable songs: funny and smart, sparing none and satirizing all.

5 out of 5 stars This CD never goes out of style!.......2007-02-21

I first heard this album in the late sixties and purchased it for the sake of nostalgia. Hard to believe how timely his satire continues to be today. From "Who's Got the Bomb" to "Send in the Marines" to "Pollution" and throughout, almost all of the songs on the CD are still relevant. Tom Lehrer was one of the all-time great satirical songwriters and I still laugh out loud when I listen to his stuff.

5 out of 5 stars It's people like this who make you wonder what you've really accomplished........2007-02-10

It's a sobering thought to realize that, when Tom Lehrer was my age, he had been retired for ten years.

5 out of 5 stars Tom Lehrer Remains Relevant.......2007-01-09

More than 40 years later, Lehrer is timely as ever. His satire, lyrics, and melodies are superb. You will laugh yourself silly.
