Tom Lehrer, a Harvard-educated pianist and singer, created comedy songs in the 1950s that pushed boundaries with satirical wit and musical parody. This 1997 CD collects material from his early self-produced albums, featuring tracks like “Fight Fiercely, Harvard,” “The Old Dope Peddler,” “Be Prepared,” “Lobachevsky,” and “The Irish Ballad.” Lehrer’s approach draws closer to the theatrical style of Gilbert and Sullivan than to later stand-up comedy, using clever wordplay and original melodies to tackle subjects that were considered taboo for broadcast at the time, from cold war anxiety to social commentary on racism, drug use, and other provocative themes.

Released by Rhino, this CD compilation brings together Lehrer’s pioneering work from the early days of comedy albums. The disc includes tracks spanning his career, showcasing his distinctive thin voice and mathematical humor alongside his gift for musical satire. Owning this used copy lets you experience a piece of comedy history at a fraction of the original retail cost.
