I don't like people to get the idea that I have to do this for a living

Tom Lehrer had entered my household's dialect before I was born. That's not my department. I am never forget the day. Don't drink the water and don't breathe the air. Only be sure always to call it please research. More, more, I'm still not satisfied. Lucky Pierre! Who's next? Songs not on rotation in my parents' record collection could be encountered lyrically and traumatically in Too Many Songs by Tom Lehrer with Not Enough Drawings by Ronald Searle (1981). One could in fact call him one of my idols since childbirth. With just a handful of music, he touched the hearts of millions, and in the spirit of his own liner notes, I hope he died mad about it.

Yeah. 97 is a heck of a good run, but it still feels impossible; he was such a very good egg, and so many of his songs are perfect quotable gems.

Along with just about everyone else, I have been playing them ever since hearing the news. It is impossible and significantly depressing to picture a world which did not have his songs in them. He feels like the most beloved sick comedian in the history of the form.
