A Tom Lehrer Recording from 1997!
How awesome! Here is a Tom Lehrer performance from 1997. It includes some songs I have never heard him sing before! (I had never even heard of a couple of these songs before.) Big win!
(The penultimate song takes a really low shot at sociology and the attempt to mathematize it. It's really funny, though, perhaps because I can think of specific examples that it fits very well. Still, the assessment is not even close to fair.)
(Tip of the cap to Marina Chugunova.)
Update: I forgot to mention that I am wearing my "Let ε < 0" shirt today. How appropriate!
