Music reviews of An Evening Wasted With Tom Lehrer
Music Review: An Evening With Tom Leher
Rating: 5 Stars
I have been a fan since the 70's and had the LP's. Some of the stuff is outdated, but some is timeless and really humorous. I love it.
Description of An Evening Wasted With Tom Lehrer
"If, after hearing my songs," Lehrer says in this disc's liner notes, "just one human being is inspired to say something nasty to a friend, or perhaps strike a loved one, it will all have been worth the while." Makes him sound like a modern punk, eh? Not so, though. Lehrer, ever the king of jolly vitriol, recorded these still potent parodies in the '50s--and the best of them, "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park," "The Masochism Tango," and "The Elements" (which joins science with Gilbert & Sullivan) remain both nasty and striking. Musically, Lehrer comes across like a demented Cole Porter, wrapping sophisticated, showy tunes around his acerbic jokes. Lyrically, he's a clear forebear to folks like Phil Ochs and Barry Crimmins, who also cloak their commentary in comedy. --Michael RubyGeneral CDs
