I did a production of "The MAD Show" (which, if you're not familiar with it, was exactly what it sounds like <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mad_Show>) when I was 9, and our director decided to spice things up by adding some Tom Lehrer songs - particularly "Poisoning Piegons in the Park", so I was introduced to his work far earlier than I should have been. RIP Mr. Lehrer.
FYI, pretty much his entire catalog is available for listening online: https://tomlehrersongs.com On Monday, July 28, 2025 at 10:16:10 AM UTC-4 PGage wrote: > I spent much of last night explaining to younger friends in their 30s and > 40s who Tom Lehrer was.
