How bizarre is it that just this weekend this guy I know and I were singing the Vatican Rag while our younger, culturally impoverished classmates stared mouths agape as we rattled off the lines?

These kids. They think Weird Al invented parody and satire.

Love, love, love Masochism Tango! I'm going to have to find it and listen again.

You and I will have to share him I've nurtured a passion for his witty songs since I was 10 (a long long time ago). I'm sure there is enough wit to go around.

I have loved him since I first saw him on TV many eons ago. I think he is a genius.

My sister got me a boxed set of Tom Lehrer. According to the liner notes, he did something even more important than his music.

He invented the Jello Shot.

Have some Madeira, my dear,
You really have nothing to fear....

...If you run into a Girl Scout who is similarly inclined:

Be Prepared!!

You could do one of those Lehrer songs every day, far as I'm concerned.
