Tom Lehrer – National Brotherhood Week

I discovered Tom Lehrer, a humorist piano player from the mid ’40s through the 60s, just now when reading The Ancestor’s Tale: A Pilgrimage to the Dawn of Evolution by Richard Dawkins (HIGHLY recommended book).  Tom was mentioned in one of the captions for his song which is marked to play in the style ‘A little too fast’ (I Wanna Go Back to Dixie is the song).

This was one of the first songs I found on youtube, "National Brotherhood Week":

And there are plenty more just as entertaining!

There is more information about Tom Lehrer in a book I randomly found, Seriously Funny: The Rebel Comedians of the 1950s and 1960s.  Google has a preview of Seriously Funny here.
