From the Songs you won't hear on the radio files:
I first ran across Tom Lehrer in 1975 while scouring through some old guy's record collection looking for big band music for a production of The Glass Menagerie.
Lehrer is not about the music, he's about the clever lyrics.
The Mascochism Tango
Poisoning Pigeons In The Park
And, for the highbrows among us: Oedipus Rex
Yes, Lehrer could be a bit of a snob. OK, a lot of a snob. But some of my favorites were done for The Electric Company. Like The LY Song.
Silent E
