Tom Lehrer: Smut (concert live) (1965)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 мар 2016
- *ALTERNATE LYRICS (2:49):
I love the Bill of Rights with all the fervor I possess,
And when I pray, I always say, "Thank God for freedom of the press."
The first part of the video (my signature slide) is overlaid by the final bars of "National Anthem of Colombia", which I played on my keyboard.
The main part of the song is one of Tom Lehrer's live performed songs, "Smut". It is part of Tom's third published live performance album, "That Was The Year That Was". But I obtained the actual music from the box set, "The Remains of Tom Lehrer", which was released in 2000. Enjoy.
And the last part is the main theme of "The Phantom of the Opera", by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Simply the 'cherry on top', and my personal song.
Sorry I gave so much information about the music earlier. I don't want to get screwed by stupid WMG again. They are a bunch of arse-holes. And to make sure I am not screwed, have them read the following credits:
Recorded at the hungry i, San Francisco, CA (7/26/65-7/31/65)
Produced by JIMMY HILLIARD
Engineered by DON GEIS
From the album "That Was The Year That Was," Reprise #RS-6179 (1965)
"The Remains of Tom Lehrer" Compilation ℗ 2000 Warner Bros. Records Inc. & Rhino Entertainment Company.

Tom would've had a AO3 account
He's still alive. And he might
Wonder what his favorite ships would be
LMAO STOPP IM DEAD
100 percent
Oh definitely 😅
I like how he says “*when* correctly viewed” basically saying “if it ain’t nsfw then you ain’t lookin at it right”
HELL YEAH YOU GET ME
r34 before the internet
@@butcholsen3237 r34 is completely different.
Modern day Tom would be on Wattpad 24/7
AO3.
@@ShamelessMcBundy Ao3 is not a great as everyone makes it seem. The fanfics are just as bad on there as on wattpad.
@@starling1226 Nope, day and night difference. Sure they all misspell and never get anything grammatically right but you are more likely to find good writers on Ao3 than Wattpad.
@@starling1226 nah, a lot of people have just been moving from wattpad to ao3 so the cringe bleeds into the site sometimes. Tho it's way easier to find the good shit if you've been here for a good while
As a person with a wattpad account, this is true. I'm mostly there for the social aspects though
I can’t decide if he’s like the 60’s version of Bo Burnham or Will Wood
both
both
WILL WOOD MENTIONED 🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥
NO WAY THERE'S SOMEONE ELSE WHO KNOWS BOTH TOM LEHRER AND WILL WOOD WHAT
both.
I love how he splits words in half to make the rhymes work.
Tom Lehrer: I love smut and porn
Audience: *_standing ovation_*
pete wentz from my chemical romance also, *is 1965*
God I hope this man can see what his works have wrought upon the internet. Someone bring this man AO3
"All books can be indecent ones
(But recent books are bolder)
For filth, i'm glad to say,
Is in the mind of the beholder.
When correctly viewed,
Everything is lewd"
Man predicted Rule 34.
Gonna learn how to play this on piano and play it a Christmas brunch. Wish me luck
Break a leg
Update us please!
Updates please
it's 2021. 24/12 , DID YOU LEARN IT? , and DID YOU????
@@moonatique yeah, I did. And my Nona just got a piano at her house, so Christmas brunch is about to get hella interesting between this and me planning to come out as trans masc. I'll give updates if you're interested
He feels like an old fashioned bo burnham I'm for it
Bo is a new Lehrer, round the other way toast.
he is though
Both have a song called "New Math".
How did you get here? But asmodeus would be the one behind the song since apparently you know who I'm talking about and which one I'm talking about
MC what are u doing here
How do I explain this is my favourite song, without seeming weird
I doubt you can 🤔
Don't. Let your freak flag fly, my friend.
Why not embrace your weirdness?
Say it's about freedom of expression
My great grandfather smuggled a first edition of Ulysses, sighted by Joyce, from Paris. When my grandmother was in her 70’s, she got religion in a big way, decided it was a dirty book and she burned it. It would sell for $1.5 million today.
OH THAT HURTS
I feel bad for you
Religion makes people do idiotic things all the time but this example is singularly extreme in its piety.
Oh thats bad
We have truely come a long way from a time where people fought for the right to have smut exist to living in an era where smut fanfics exist.
Can all quotev, wattpad and Ao3 writers stand for our anthem
Ao3 writer here, I am indeed standing tall for our anthem :=)
@@jaymartin8273 same
And OnlyFans too!
🧍🏻♀️
I hate how often this gets stuck in my head, because it really isn't the best song to be caught singing lol
Learning about this guy, it's funny how this mathematician is the same who wrote this and the song about a couple doing the tango lol
This man was truly ahead of his time.
"When correctly viewed,
Ev'rything is lewd"
Did he... did this man predict Rule 34?
Sound like it Lol
He really was a genius for his time
No, sir, he invented it.
@@camchameleon4151 Wrong- he is a timeless genius, just like George Carlin!
@@jmwoods190 yeah, I understated his abilities. My bad, thank you for helping me to see
Keep Tom relevant! We need this in these days and times. For sure.
It's amazing to me how his humor simply does not age at all.
@@roberthill799 It's timeless!
Most relatable singer of the 60's
"Filth is in the mind of the beholder" what a nice quote✨👌
Tom Lehrer is a (luckily still) living legend. No one else in his niche.
in 1978, at a tenth grade talent show.... I did three songs of Tom's... poisoning pigeons in the park, the Irish ballad... and this one here.... which got me three things.... 1.) the loudest applause of the show ... 2.) disqualified from the competition/ threat of suspension... and 3.) a date for that weekend with a hot 12th grade girl who ended up my girlfriend for 2 years.... thank you Tom... a fan in your debt
That's quite a story.
I am surprised that they let you finish all three songs.
I did 'So Long, Mom' in front of an audience of mostly military personnel. Lehrer fans, unite!
Excellent
In 1973 my friend and I did "The Vatican Rag" in front of our 5th grade class. We thought it was hilarious. Our teacher wasn't happy at all.
The official AO3 fandom anthem.
I move we start a petition for it!
Yeah
My exact thought!
Yup..( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
This is what it’s like on Tumblr.
Or Pixiv I guess-
69 likes.....nice.
not anymore :P
@@noxichor4285 yes it is fanfic community is literally holding the app on its shoulders
I like how the audience seems uncomfortable.
He decided to join the war on pornography
Tell me this isn't true 😭
On the side of pornography? 😂
@@mostlyimpulsive3462obviously
when you aren't fighting in any war and you want to join the army well just join the pornography war!
His delivery is exceptional
If he likes smut, he’ll really like my Wattpad page.
Same-
My Tumblr
I want to thank my Mother (R.I.P) for raising me on Tom Lehrer. Thank God my Dad married her.
My family used to do sing-a-longs to Tom Lehrer songs when we went on car trips. Thanks to my Dad.
Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well.
I hope someone else thought of this first
"give me smut and nothing but"
"BUTT!"
I will leave now
This...
This man is amazing
He is like the 60's version of bo burnham.
TRUUEEEEEE
god don’t insult him like that dude
The other way around.
@@comically_large_cowboy_hat3385 i didnt mean it like an insult.
More like he's one of Bos inspirations. But I guess what you said is also technically correct
Looks like we found the Fanfiction.net theme song!
Me going on to ao3
SAME
this man is just so cool (This song is the AO3 hymn too xD)
I prefer the term lemon and lime.
Happy 89th birthday to Tom Lehrer. I've been a fan for 50 years!
Wait he's still alive ?
@@bean2706 yes
I first became familiar with TL when I started school at UVa in the early fifties. I had
his ten inch LP and learned all of the songs by heart. It's great fun to hear them again.
One of Professor Lehrer's better ballads! Right up there with _Poisoning Pidgeons in the Park_ and _The Masochism Tango._ Thanks!
He predicted tumblr
not no more :(
@@killerash8726 yup
And the bad side of wattpad 😂👏
holy shit you are right my guy
FNAF RAWXD there’s a good side of Wattpad?!
Play this at my funeral so some of my family may laugh or so my mom asks god were she went wrong -Blake
Yeah, I can believe he was a soldier
Not just a soldier, this man worked at los alamos helping make nuclear bombs. He was a member of the NSA in the 50's when it was first founded. This man was *big* military, and he had more venom for the military than any satirist I know. He was a very smart man.
"Was"?
@@AlexSh789 Luckily, he's still with us.
@@therealzilch - I know. That's my point.
@@therealzilch "He WAS a very smart man." He still is
Amazing that this is still so relevant!
I know this is a comedy song but the actual deep message of free speech turns me on more lol.
I Don't Know, I Quite Like Censorship Of The Press, Especially When They Say I Suck.
@@rateeightx don't capitalize every letter
That's how satire works.
Nothing else is gonna properly wake me at five in the morning...😂
*Y E S JUST Y E S*
I came from ken ashcorp we're shameless and I was told that that song and this are the national anthem for the rule 34 community and they weren't wrong
Man Ken makes some good stuff.
@@justinjacobs1501 yep and I came back because of interspecies reviewers getting canceled
Touch fluffy tail gentlemen
I didn’t know smut wasn’t a fandom originated word
Also
Love this song
I didn’t know fandoms had the intellect too create words (well unless the words are blend words or Portmanteau (i did have too google what the correct terms were.(i am putting brackets into brackets))).
I did some research on the names mentioned in this song (the book names) and well.. there’s now deeper meaning in this song and I’m scared.. (not really scared, just surprised scared).
What is it? Tell the world!
Those are literary classics. Not exactly required reading, but very interesting especially when you were young and just discovered the classic smuts. What scared you?
I read Lady Chatterly at 15 and discussed it with my dad, who had taken it out of the library for me.
I love thos song.
It's like my anthem.
I'm all for whores unless of course they take my money and run... They always seem to be like that, steal my money and take of in the sun... Yeah, I'm inspired....
Thank you Tom for creating this!
This song is relevant with net neutrality and all that jazz.
the boomers that they dont want you to know about.
Tom Lehrer's generation is the parents of the boomers, the Silent Generation. He must have only gotten that memo in the 70s. :)
What a Genius.
Few comments on this. But liked it as all the songs I've listened to so far. 8 and counting. Continuing my Lehrer binge. :)
This song is my brain 24/7
Damn you for giving Alan Moore ideas, Tom.
This sums up the bad side of wattpad 😂
Tia Bean you’re telling me there’s a good side!?!?
That line about giving it up for the Supreme Court has not aged well, nothing to congratulate them on rn 😔
Mr. Lehrer also has a taste for sarcasm!
The Supreme Court was unusually liberal at the time of this song.
Aged like a fine scotch no?
Yep
Indeed
I love pink, ... roughly speaking!

21 people do not like porn.
No they dont like admitting it
@@zomdiehunter115
You nailed it...as it were haha. 😉👍
One of my favorites, and I always love his performances. I'm a bit curious how it would play with a music hall performer like Marie Lloyd doing it though. Or even a vaudeville act.
There was a musical revue created by Cameron Mackintosh called "Tomfoolery" based on Tom Lehrer's songs.
@@roys8870 Oh, neat!
Adam Kay (from Amateur Transplants) made a more modern version of this song, which focused more on internet porn and pornographic films
What is a songs name?
@@darbythegamer5152 It's still called "Smut", pretty much the same song but with lyrics that reflect modern porn
I already can imagine shindol and leher become a good friend
wow I can’t believe Tom Lehrer copied Bo Burnham’s style
Who copied whose style, exactly? Tom Lehrer is old enough to be Bo Burnham's grandpa.
@@AlexSh789 do you hear that?
@@josephmclaughlin933 - Hear what?
@@AlexSh789 it's the joke flying over your head faster than Lehrer gets his audience to laugh
@@josephmclaughlin933 - Wow, walked right into that one, didn't I? Why don't we ask rat kid whether he was joking?
This sure is a song.
ah yes, my favorite song ever
Ahead of his time.
I'm surprised that this hasn't become the OnlyFans anthem yet!
to be honest i do adore...that kind of pic......performance
Understandable, have a great day.
Apologises for my ignorance, but was it illegal in America to read nsfw stuff? I'm very confused :'3
It could be illegal to print, distribute and sell it.
@@joeyjojoshabadoo889 can you elaborate? :'3
@@rawrxdmf5218 we used to have a series of laws called the Comstock Laws which first banned publication and distribution of any "obscene" material and later also banned all forms of contraception and abortion most of which was overturned in the mid 60s and early 70s

2:17 r34 in a nutshell
I do have a cause, though, it is obscenity. I'm for it! (laughter) Thank you.
Unfortunately, the civil liberties types who are fighting this issue have to fight it,
Owing to the nature of the laws,
As a matter of freedom of speech and stifling of free expression and so on.
But we know what's really involved: dirty books are fun!
That's all there is to it.
But you can't get up in a court and say that,
I suppose.
It's simply a matter of freedom of pleasure,
a right which is not guaranteed by the Constitution, unfortunately.
Anyway, since people seem to be marching for their causes these days,
I have here a march for mine. It's called:
Smut!
Give me smut and nothing but!
A dirty novel I can't shut
If it's uncut
And unsubt-le.
I've never quibbled
If it was ribald.
I would devour
Where others merely nibbled.
As the judge remarked the day that he acquitted my Aunt Hortense,
"To be smut
It must be ut-
Terly without redeeming social importance."
Por-
Nographic pictures I adore.
Indecent magazines galore,
I like them more
If they're hardcore.
Bring on the obscene movies, murals, postcards, neckties, samplers, stained
Glass windows, tattoos, anything!
More, more, I'm still not satisfied!
Stories of tortures
Used by debauchers
Lurid, licentious and vile,
Make me smile.
Novels that pander
To my taste for candor
Give me a pleasure sublime.
Let's face it I love slime!
All books can be indecent books,
Though recent books are bolder.
For filth, I'm glad to say,
Is in the mind of the beholder.
When correctly viewed,
Everything is lewd.
I could tell you things about Peter Pan
And the Wizard of Oz - there's a dirty old man!
I thrill
To any book like Fanny Hill,
And I suppose I always will
If it is swill
And really fil-thy.
Who needs a hobby like tennis or philately?
I've got a hobby: rereading Lady Chatterley.
But now they're trying to take it all away from us unless
We take a stand, and hand in hand we fight for freedom of the press.
In other words: Smut! I love it.
Ah, the adventures of a slut.
Oh, I'm a market they can't glut.
I don't know what
Compares with smut.
Hip, hip, hooray!
Let's hear it for the Supreme Court!
Don't let them take it away!
Song starts at 0:52
The intro is part of the draw, esp since the video is clearly labeled concert live.
@@Rissa_1322 I don’t have anything against the intro, I enjoyed listening to it on my first view. But I don’t want to listen to it every time, thus I left a time stamp for anyone who wants to skip it.

This remains me of Bo Burnham
Lianet Chavez *Bo Burnham reminds you of Tom Lehrer
Why are so many people hating on the Phantom of the Opera music at the beginning and end
It's only the Phantom music at the end. At the beginning it's the National Anthem of Colombia.
Women have smut too hee hee.
who disliked this?
34 people, apparently
The church
Lots of people dislike things just to be "cool".
Tipper Gore apparently.
@@thehellhound8582 she's more into rock and metal
What is the melody at the end?
Overture/the phantom of the opera (they are the same melody but one has words and the other does not.) They are from The Phanton Of The Opera
And my friends ask me why I have a hard passion for porn, r34, smut, ect....
It's so great
The fangirl anthem XD
Fanboys too, perhaps? ...
Yes
Leopard song
In the Book of Genesis, the story of Lot -- the only *_just man_* in Sodom, is about as dirty as you can get.
To funny😄
Or not to funny, that is the question.
And beyond!

This was before internet fanfiction, right? Cause that is some DIRTY SHIT, man. I know. I read gay creepypasta stuff and oh, my god, Jeff x L.J. is just...just (if you know how to search it!).
Look at the year. (1965) This was before *THE INTERNET*.
He is a kinky dude after all
I don't think that was him on top form. Needs some understanding of the sexually repressive culture of the time (and the 60s backlash against it) to grasp what he was on about. Those times were so different.
what? who needs some understanding of the sexually repressive culture of the time?
what
Were they? Were they, really? 😐
This song speaks to me for some reason.......*pulls out yaoi book*
Yoai is the fetishization of gay men buy this song does slap
When ur a fujoshi who often reads yaoi
You're a gay fetishist. That's the English word, it isn't bad to do, but be careful, it's wildly offensive and many gay men bristle at you saying that because how many "fujoshi" like to try to ship straight, irl men. Or who freak out when I kiss my bf in public.
In summary, don't kill me for saying this, but
CRINGE.
@@candiedcrusader7841 THANK U DUDE,, A KING
@@candiedcrusader7841 I don't ship gay men but I don't really see the problem?
People watch straight porn too and lesbian porn is hot
People fetishize anything that moves, honestly it just seems like a case of people getting easily offended
Who is responsible for that horrible intro and outro music? It makes me want to pull out my hair.
James Mendola - I am. If you don't want to hear the intro & outro, buy the album on Amazon.
Alexander Shekhtman
That's actually a pretty great incentive. Amazon should definitely give your a cut of those profits.
James Mendola - They don't. I'm just not a fan of piracy.
the outro is from The Phantom Of The Opera lols

But it's public domain now, isn't it?
Pretty lame…
