GUEST,Judith Tom Lehrer and his satire. The Best! (79* d) RE: Tom Lehrer and his satire. The Best! 11 Jun 00


I agree - much better than Russell. Sly & zingy. My parents' Catholic friends laughed till they cried at "Vatican Rag."

National Brotherhood Week was one of my faves too. "Be nice to people who/are inferior to you/it's only for a week, so have no fear/be grateful that it doesn't last all year" - neatly skewering both bigots & false liberals in one fell swoop!

You forgot to mention "Pollution" - unfortunately still valid after all these years. And "New Math." (Don't worry - base 8's just like base 10 - if you're missing two fingers.) One could go on & on. :-)
