Tom Lehrer
Storm Rider:
Sorry Khar, I was doing that from memory. I haven't heard the song in a while, I'm afraid.
onewheelwizzard:
SMUT!
Oh, give me smut and nothing but!
A dirty novel I can't shut
If it's uncut
And unsubt
.... tle.
I've never quibbled, if it was ribald
I always devour, where others merely nibble
As the judge remarked the day that he aquitted my Aunt Hortense
To be smut, it must be ut, terly without redeeming social importance!
Poooorrrr, nographic pictures I adoorrrrre,
Indecent magazines galore, I like them more,
If they're hardcore!
Bring on the obscene movies, murals, postcards, neckties, stained-glass windows, anything! More, more, I'm still not satisfied!
Stories of tortures, used by debauchers, lurid, licencious, and vile ...
Make me smile.
Novels that pander to my taste for candor give me a pleasure sublime
Let's face it, I love slime
All books can be indecent books but recent books are bolder,
For filth (I'm glad to say) is in the mind of the beholder
When correctly viewed, anything is lewd
I could tell you things about Peter Pan
And the Wizard of Oz (there's a dirty old man!)
I thrill
To any book like Fanny Hill
And I suppose I always will
If it is swill
And really fil
.... thy.
Who needs a hobby, like tennis, or philately?
I've got a hobby, rereading Lady Chatterly
But now they're trying to take it all away from us unless
We take a stand and hand in hand we fight for freedom of the press
In other words, smut, I love it.
Ah, the adventures of a slut!
Oh I'm a market they can't glut
I don't know what
Compares with smut
Hip hip hooray, let's hear it for the Supreme Court lads
Don't let them taaaake it, awaaaaay!
I haven't heard that song in a while. I'm so glad I remember so much of it. I think I might've missed one or two things, maybe in the spoken section where he's listing all the smutty things (postcards, neckties, stained-glass windows, etc.)
Tom Lehrer is the fucking man.
IntermittentEvil:
Being a scientific type, I rather like Lobachevsky:
Plagiarize!
Let no one elses work evade your eyes!
Remember why the good lord made your eyes,
So dont shade your eyes,
But plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize! -
Only be sure always to call it please research.
He was a math professor, wasn't he? Makes that song even better!
toolazytothinkupaname:
Tom Lehrer rocks. Oedipus Rex is my favourite, "One thing 'pon which you can depend is, he sure knew who a boy's best friend is". Often the introductions are as good as the song itself: "One of the reasons most folk music is so atrocious, is that it was written by the people".
Thrillho:
My favourite is still Two Game Wardens, Seven Hunters And A Cow. I used to know it front to back.
