Collection 1953-60

• Track Listing

Brilliantly sarcastic lyrics and a nice, bouncy piano—that was the recipe this master satirist used to cook up fun and skewer society in the ’50s and ’60s. You’ll hear his WAY-ahead-of-their-time songs about race, dope and more on the LPs "Songs of Tom Lehrer," "An Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer," "More of Tom Lehrer" and "Tom Lehrer Revisited." Live versions of "Be Prepared," "My Home Town," "The Masochism Tango," "Lobachevsky" and "Oedipus Rex" join "In Old Mexico," "The Elements," "The Irish Ballad," "The Hunting Song" and more hilariously irreverent Tom Lehrer!
