Tom Lehrer is the best satirist ever IMO. We spent many hours

listening to his albums when we were in middle school. National

Brotherhood Week, Poisoning pigeons in the park, New math,

Vatican rag, and of course Pollution, among many others.

He is very good. I listened to my father's record 'Songs by Tom Lehrer' when young and then bought 'An Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer' and 'That Was the Year That Was'.

My father also had Shelley Berman records with his monologues. Bob Newhart's monologues also a favourite of mine.
