Thread Name: Tom Lehrer and his satire. The Best!
Subject: RE: Tom Lehrer and his satire. The Best!
I started listening to Tom Lehrer records when I was seven (yep, that was the year that was. Ah well.) I was delighted to hear my six year old niece, trotting across the field to the pond singing We Will All Go Together at the top of her not inconsiderable lungs. I will also never forget my sister in law's face and laugh when she first heard Poisoning Pigeons in the park, and I once cchased someone without humor out of a coffee house by singing The Irish Ballad. Send the Marines hads come in handy several times of late, alas, and we sing the hunting song around here every November. What a guy!
