Tom Lehrer is a man of incredible talent.
He has written and performed some of the most
humorous songs on the planet.
I wavered between this version and
another shorter piece, I chose this one because
it reveals a lot of what was going on in the minds
of many way back in the 1950s.
But please don’t get the wrong impression, the ONLY
thing dated about this song is the dialogue at
the beginning, and even that is quite interesting.
The ditty is Tom at his absolute best…
