Oh, wow, Tom Lehrer has released all of his songs into the public domain. Apparently also his website will shut down "at some date in the not too distant future" so now's a good time to download directly.

"In short, I no longer retain any rights to any of my songs.
So help yourselves, and don’t send me any money."

@ilzo @zarfeblong @oblomov @therotund @internetarchive one expects mirroring the audio takes longer, as well as repairing the broken link (fixed in message thread)
