Tom Lehrer, a Harvard-educated mathematician who became known for his satirical songs, recorded this comedy album in 1965. That Was The Year That Was features Lehrer’s sharp-witted musical commentary on mid-1960s American society and politics, drawing from the NBC series of the same name. His irreverent approach to topics ranging from social conformity and censorship to nuclear anxiety showcases the dry, clever delivery that made him a distinctive voice in comedy music, blending influences from vaudeville and show tunes with pointed social observation.

This CD release comes from Reprise and includes tracks such as National Brotherhood Week, The Folk Song Army, Pollution, and So Long, Mom (A Song For World War III), along with New Math and other satirical numbers that capture Lehrer’s acerbic humor. The album was certified gold by the RIAA. Grab this used copy and own a piece of 1960s comedy history at a fraction of retail.
