COMMUNITY REVIEWS

fun! submitted by betsywil on June 20, 2018, 9:08pm This CD includes clever classic songs with lively tunes and hilarious lyrics.

Note that some lyrics may offend some listeners.
If you don't know Tom Lehrer, and are troubled by the title of the first song (yes- that's really what it's about) then skip this CD. Otherwise, listen and prepare to laugh out loud.

These songs were recorded in the late 1950s-early 1960s. Some are amazing political and social satire, that sadly still applies today.

Enjoy!
