Tom Lehrer turned 95 a couple weeks ago. To celebrate here's a song I never knew existed, a cover of "Trees."



Of course you'll remember "Trees" as a song that Wayne and Wanda failed to sing on The Muppet Show.


And someone reworked the elements song into a song about the kinds of trees.



A compilation of live performances by Lehrer himself. A few differences from the album versions threw me off a bit.


And now a few more recent Lehrer covers:


The Masochism Tango
Lobachevsky
We Will All Go Together When We Go
Smut/The Elements (wasn't expecting that pair as a double feature!)
The Masochism Tango again...on America's Got Talent!
