{"product_id":"remains-of-tom-lehrer","title":"Remains of Tom Lehrer","description":"Amazon.com\n\nThis three-CD set collects many of Tom Lehrer's tunes, described by Time magazine as \"brilliant and coruscating parodies,\" bringing back a bygone era when the \"liberal consensus,\" as Lehrer calls them, knew who they were and could, therefore, laugh at both themselves and the well-defined enemy. Delivering clever, witty rhymes about topical subjects was Leher's strength. In \"Wernher Von Braun\" [the Nazi German scientist who later worked for NASA], Lerher sings: \"I'll sing you a tale of Wernher Von Braun \/ A man whose allegiance is ruled by expedience \/ Once the rockets are up, who cares where they come down \/ 'That's not my department,' says Wernher Von Braun.\" Using a rollicking piano as accompaniment, Lehrer will remind some of Mark Russell, the current political satirist, but Lehrer's more pointed humor and grating, nasal voice make him a much tougher listen. His Jimmy Durante-like delivery, however, doesn't completely trump his truly quick mind and clever use of language. --Wally Shoup\n\nProduct description\n\nRarish set of archive recordings\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B00004SWBH\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B00004SWBH.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Lehrer, Tom\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
