Tom Lehrer

[Cult of Reason]

Does anyone here, apart from me, like Tom Lehrer?

One of my favourite songs of his is "Werner von Braun".

"Vunce zer rockets go up, who cares vere they come down? That's not my department, says Werner von Braun!"

Yeah Tom's wonderful - I like the Vatican Rag and especially the Masochism Tango.


Take your cigarette from it’s hol----der,
And burn your initials in my shoul----der.
Fracture my spine,
And swear that you’re mine,
As we dance to the masochism tango.

He famously declared satire obselete when Kissinger got his Nobel Peace Prize.
