Do you remember Tom Lehrer?
Do you remember Tom Lehrer? Sitting around with family last night, the name Tom Lehrer came up. The young ones had never heard of him. If you haven't head over to YouTube and take a listen. The political satire in his songs is still funny and relevant. I played his albums over and over until I had learned all the words. |

Not bad for a Harvard mathematician.

And the songs he wrote for The Electric Company were great too. "Don't add W, don't add X, and don't add Y or Z, just add silent E........."

hell yeah. used to have a copy of "an evening wasted with tom lehrer". "whos next?" about nuclear bombs is just as relevant today, sadly. "well only get through this if we work together. if we dont, none of us will"

Tom Lehrer's "The Elements" is a classic. He basically names off all the elements in a song. "The Masochism Tango" is pretty funny too.

Don't drink the water and don't breathe the air. Please don't let me be misunderstood.
