Anytime. Tom Lehrer shaped my perspective from my early years. Now I have to explain to people who he is and what the heck he was singing about...
So long, mom,
I'm off to drop the bomb,
So don't wait up for me.
But though I may roam,
I'll come back to my home
Although it may be
A pile of debris. Precisely why Clifford needs to listen. |

Tom Lehrer
because, like Phil Ochs and so many others, they just don't have as broad an audience as they should (have). |

| For years the BBC was banned from playing his records, but he was allowed to appear on BBC tv if it was late at night. |

Sleep, baby, sleep, in peace may you slumber,
No danger lurks, your sleep to encumber.
We've got the missiles, peace to determine,
And one of the fingers on the button will be German.
Why shouldn't they have nuclear warheads?
England says no, but they all are soreheads.
I say a bygone should be a bygone,
Let's make peace the way we did in Stanleyville and Saigon.
Once all the Germans were warlike and mean,
But that couldn't happen again.
We taught them a lesson in 1918
And they've hardly bothered us since then.
So, sleep well, my darling, the sandman can linger.
We know our buddies won't give us the finger.
Heil - hail - the Wehrmacht, I mean the Bundeswehr,
Hail to our loyal ally!

Will scare Brezhnev.*
I hope he is half as scared as I! |

I think you'd need to be in better shape Miles - it was a genuine question and answer session. |

Location: East Tennessee | Well the song says'"The Devil Went Down To Georgia".
Last time I looked Tennessee was still north of Georgia.
But then geography was not one of my better subjects. :confused: :D |

Location: Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey | It seems to me that Elvis only recorded like 75 songs, but manages to have an excess of 150 albums released. They just seemed to mix and match the same songs and repackage it as something new, and that was before he passed away. I dunno. Is THAT the secret to good marketing??? |
