Celebrate Tom Lehrer For His Music, But Also For Donating All His Works To The Public Domain

Tom Lehrer’s passing this weekend at age 97 has rightfully sparked tributes to his brilliant satirical songs. But amid all the well-deserved praise for “The Elements” and “Poisoning Pigeons in the Park,” there’s another aspect of Lehrer’s legacy that deserves equal celebration: his decision to dump his entire catalog into the public domain. In an […]

Tom Lehrer dared you to laugh

Clear-sightedness and the absence of self-regard made Tom Lehrer's art unique, exposing the pieties of middle-class America with dash and daring.

A fun way to carbon date myself is the real phrase "I started the Tom Lehrer fan club on Xanga." I'm generally glad much of Xanga got wiped but I wish this part were still there today

The brilliant Tom Lehrer has passed away. If you haven't, I highly recommend you give his songs a listen, especially Poisoning Pigeons in the Park. Also, Lehrer released all his music into the public domain a few years ago. Use that as you'd like, musicians out there. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/2….

We had a Tom Lehrer songbook when I was a kid and I read it instead of practicing piano (because my teacher had a fur coat and I told her it was immoral).

For everyone rightly lamenting the passing of the legendary Tom Lehrer: two years ago he put every bit of music he’d ever created in the public domain. His brilliance lives on. Check out this website - there’s even downloads! tomlehrersongs.com

Tom Lehrer lived so long he outlived the New York Times reporter who originally wrote his obituary!

Copy of a note at the bottom of the online version of the New York Times obituary for Tom Lehrer, published on July 27, 2025: "Richard Severo, a New York Times reporter from 1968 to 2006, died in 2023. Alex Traub continued reporting.

Farewell Tom Lehrer. It was such a pleasure to perform classic American musicals with and learn math from you at UC Santa Cruz in the 1980s. In your honor, I will now go and poison some pigeons in the park. And maybe do the Vatican Rag and the Masochism Tango. The article below is a gift link.

Requiescas in pace, Tom Lehrer. I always play your “Oedipus Rex” song in my Myth classes & both versions of your “Elements” song when I teach the Presocratics in Greek Civ.

Tom Lehrer RIP at age 98. This singer-songwriter, first introduced to my life in the late 1950's, was a huge influence on my worldview. And remains so.

Tom Lehrer would hate modern resist-libs and you can't convince me otherwise:

"I don't think this kind of thing has an impact on the unconverted, frankly. It's not even preaching to the converted; it's titillating the converted ... I'm fond of quoting Peter Cook, who talked about the satirical Berlin Kabaretts of the 1930s, which did so much to stop the rise of Hitler and prevent the Second World War."

I'm starting to see reports on FB and Reddit (but no news outlets yet) that Tom Lehrer has passed. If true, it's a huge loss. What a legacy he left us - literally, as he put his entire catalog into the public domain a few years back...
