Mussolini’s Merkin dijo:
Funnily enough I checked on him just the other day because I knew he was getting up there in years. He was an incredibly funny man, finding his music in my youth was a real delight.

My personal favorite:

That song is both funny in the darkest way and unironically one of the hardest songs ever written. Lehrer was firing on all cylinders when he wrote that.

Even for the songs where the reason for the satire are long forgotten (like Poisoning Pigeons in the Park - cyanide soaked peanuts and strychnine are how the US government used to control pigeon populations in their parks), the songs still stand on their own after 75 years. That's pretty amazing for comedy music.

I just heard the news about Tom Lehrer. RIP to a real one. I'm glad he lived as long as he did and got to see something of a resurgence. I'm also very glad he outlived Henry Kissinger.

Of all embarrassments I didnt realize Kissinger was finally dead! November of 2023 no less, you just made my day with this late information I just learned!
 
Twelve years ago I walked into a pet shelter just looking to browse. In the kitty room a bandaged, shaved, lousy looking cat pawed my leg and cried.

"That one loves you!' the worker said.

I had to take her. She was deformed, injured, sick. Bleeding UTI for months. Special diet. Pumpkin pie filling mixed with her food.

But it was worth it. She grew and healed. Became healthy and strong. She was the sweetest, friendliest kitty I ever knew.

Today we had to put her down. Mouth cancer. Our joy just wasn't worth her pain anymore.

Anyone with a first and last name featuring the same letter is bound to die this year. RIP THE HULKSTER, OZZY OSBOURNE, and MORTON MINTZ for teaching people to not do drugs, in addition to Hulk teaching the kids to pray and Ozzy teaching the kids to rock and roll.
 
Hall of Fame baseball player Ryne Sandberg has passed away at the age of 65 from prostate cancer. He played virtually his entire career for the Chicago Cubs, was the 1984 National League MVP, and was a 10-time All-Star.
 
Tom Lehrer was one of the good ones.
I still have a couple of his albums. The sleeves are as good as the contents, with things like bad reviews being quoted on them and “If you disliked this record, be sure to look for these other records you will also dislike”.

A lot of people failed to get "National Brotherhood Week."

Oh, the Protestants hate the Catholics,
And the Catholics hate the Protestants,
And the Hindus hate the Moslems,
And everybody hates the Jews.
But during National Brotherhood Week,
National Brotherhood Week,
It's National Everyone-smile-at-one-another-hood Week.
Be nice to people who
Are inferior to you.
It's only for a week, so have no fear.
Be grateful that it doesn't last all year!
Presiona para expandir...
Currently, it lasts all year.
