Rating: G

Title: Smut
Artist: [same]
Genre: [same]
Rating: R (if you know what's going on) pg-13 (if you don't)

Everyone of us cares.
We all hate poverty
War and injustice,
Unlike the rest of you squares."

Give me smut and nothing but!
A dirty novel I can't shut!
If it's uncut, and un subt-
-tle."

Two more tracks from That Was the Year that Was. Enjoy.
The Folk Song Army

Smut

Oedipus Rex
It lives!!

Title: Oedipus Rex
Artist: Tom Lehrer
Genre: Comedy
Rating: pg-13/R for . . . well, if you're familiar with the story of Oedipus, you know why. If not, ask someone before giving this a listen.

It's a song. About Oedipus. Yeah, that Oedipus. Funny stuff.

Excerpt: "There once was a man named Oedipus Rex;
You may have heard about his odd complex.
His name appears in Freud's index
'Cause he loved his mother."

Oedipus Rex

One Hippopotomi
It lives! So, in honor of switching my major (still need to do that officially . . .) I have decided on a song about the joys of language . . .

Title: One Hippopotomi
Artist: Allan Sherman
Genre: Comedy
Rating: G

Singulars and plurals are so different, bless by soul.

Dueling Minstrels
By special request . . .

Title: Dueling Minstrels
Artist: The Minstrels of Mayhem
Genre: No
Rating: G, if memory serves

This song is . . . wow. I cannot believe that these two men actually did this. Not only do they sing "Dueling Banjos," but they also manage to put comedic words to it that make sense. Incredible.

Who's Next
Drat! One missed! Oh, well. Some things take priority.

Title: Who's Next
Artist: Tom Lerher
Genre: Comedy
Rating: PG

As with the other songs of his that I have posted, this is from his album "1964: That Was the Year That Was." As long as you know that going in, Proliferation really is a good topic for a comedic song.

Excerpt: "First we got the bomb,
And that was good.
'Cause we love peace
And Motherhood"

The Vatican Rag
Wow, this is beginning to be a habit . . .

Title: The Vatican Rag
Artist: Tom Lehrer
Genre: Comedy
Rating: Hurm . . . prolly a G, mebbe PG.

If the Vatican is going to try to reinvent itself, they might as well do it right.

Excerpt: "First get down upon your knees
Fiddle with your rosaries,
Bow your head with great respect
And genuflect, genuflect, genuflect"

New Math
Hey! Look over here! A regular update!

Title: New Math
Artist: Tom Lehrer
Genre: Comedy (clearly)
Rating: G (one of his few rated such)

This song is just, well, brilliant. You'll hear me use that word a lot when talking about Tom Lehrer. But it is. You know it, and I'll just keep reinforcing it.

Excerpt: The important thing is to understand what you're doing, rather than get the right answer.

Grania
And so I finally update again. This song is just really cool, so it goes up . . .

Title: Grania
Artist: Molly & the Tinker
Genre: Celtic
Rating: PG (for pirate violence)

So, I'm a bit late for Talk Like a Pirate Day (YAR!), but this song is just really cool.

Excerpt:
I am Grania Nuella; beware my Tudor clan
West of Galway this Atlantic is mine.
Warn your sailors of the fiend
Called the Irish pirate queen,
For they'll dine tonight on canonballs and brine

The Drunken Suitor
Alright, so it's turning into my original dream for this site: Song of the Whenever-I-Feel-Like-Updadting. On that note, more Molly and the Tinker amusement.

Title: The Drunken Suitor
Artist: Molly & the Tinker
Genre: Whatever it wants to be
Rating: PG (for alcohol use)

It just get's worse and worse. But it's funny!

Excerpt: My darling dear I lump you
I need shoes to be mine
Together ham in ham we'll troll
Until the bend of line
