Tom Lehrer (1928-2025)

This wonderful performance in Copenhagen on 11 September 1967 illustrates the full range of Tom Lehrer’s political satire. It was filmed for Danish TV and released as ‘Tom Lehrer Live in Copenhagen 1967’. He sings nineteen of his songs, including ‘Wernher von Braun’, whose role in America’s space race with the Soviets conveniently overlooked his past as a Nazi and SS officer.
