I went to college in the USA in the late 60s and early 70s and I had to
look up Lehrer yesterday. Never heard of him. Never thought much of
Dylan, either.

Mike, there's a whole wide world outside of the US of A and guess what,
your Tom Lehrer did not make it on the TV screens everywhere. As
Asterix said to fittingly in the French comic: Ils sont fous, les
Americains.

...however I doubt that anybody in the English-speaking world or Europe
who went through University in the mid/late 60s wouldn't know "We Will
All Go Together When We Go".

TV was irrelevant: in some circles Lehrer LPs circulated alongside those
by Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger and, for light relief, Flanders & Swann
(remember the Hippopotamus Song?).
