Tom Lehrer sang the only songs not written by W S Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan that my EXTREMELY conservative parents and all three of their godless-communist-dope-crazed children ALL laughed at and knew by heart. I seem to recall that Lehrer quit performing after Henry Kissinger was given the Nobel Peace Prize, out of fury and deep sadness that he could not top that irony. I have performed half a dozen of the songs over the last fifty odd years, and I observe occasionally that the kids at my (now 25ish) daughter's elementary school still sing The Hunting Song with great enthusiasm.
And if he was born in 1928 he's only 82- not VERY old, dammit! :)
