If you know Tom Lehrer, there's nothing I can tell you.... you know the man is a genius! If you have never heard of Tom Lehrer, he wrote very funny songs (and I'm not a fan of comedy songs usually!) noted for his speed of delivery, his unique approach to creative rhyming and, I'll have to repeat myself, his pure comic genius and originality. Every one of his songs is a delight and they all contain a surprise or unexpected twist... not necessarily at the end either. The fun is in the lyrics, which should be listened to, and in his introductions. This is in no-way "background music" and, although he is an accomplished pianist, the music is a vehicle for the words. Not a recording for musical purists, although they will still enjoy this.

The Lehrer songs are priceless, even 50-60 yrs on. But - and found this out just in last week - this cd is corrupted in the middle sets. Too late to send back, suspect this is a one off problem.

Tom Lehrer brilliant comedy ballads — if you have never heard him then buy one of his Cd’s he’s on a par with Flanders and Swan.

Tom Lehrer's comic songs still make me laugh 35 years after I first heard them and almost 60 years after he first performed them. Brilliant!

It’s very amusing - Tom Lehrer’s humour and skill as a musician will never date.
