Thanks to hitchhiker for pointing out this rare footage of Tom Lehrer performing some of his math filks.

Wonderful! Thank you!

Is it okay if I don't think of them as "filks" and just think of them as "songs"?

This is very cool! My mother will be excited to see it--I got my Lehrermania from her. Any idea how old it is?

This is terrific, thanks!

Having grown up on Allan Sherman but not Tom Lehrer, I have had the fun of discovering the latter as an adult. Whenever I get the chance for something new, like this, then, it's a real kick. (And yes, if I had a chance to get some Allan Sherman video, I'd love that, too.)

Thank you!

"Mathematics" is a wonderful song. "Sociology" was new to me.
