·For those old enough to remember, Tom was an unparalleled, BRILLIANT satirist, and his album, below, is unbelievably clever, with absolutely no duds and each song, a gem. A one of a kind.

·This one hit me hard. I grew up with Tom Lehrer, and when my kids were younger I relished in introducing them to his music, therby permanently warping their little senses of humor. I feel like with Tom a bit of whimsy has left this world.

·I was a huge fan of his as a kid. Loved his songs and knew them by heart.

·Loved Dr Demento.
One of my faves is Werner Von Braun. Quite possibly my favorite song. Definitely in my top 5. (up there with Mozart, Richard Rogers, and the Beatles.) Noticed this was not mentioned in the Obit. Only that a few did not take kindly to his satire. I think WVB did win the defamation suit, and TL went back to teaching.
"... where they come down ... not my department says Werner Von Braun."
