This classic Tom Lehrer piece is from his recording
An Evening Wasted, performed at Harvard College’s
Sanders Theater back in 1959!
The lyrics are as close to perfection as you can get,
he was/is the absolute master of the wry satire that
we have always known him for.
Not hyperbole, he IS the undisputed king of satire,
there has never been anybody better at it than he.
Tom is still with us, and that is a good thing.
I played this gem on the show this past week…
