I first heard this song in 1954, sung by a young lady in the back of a truck. How miraculous it sounded in the Stuffy Fifties! The same year, my mother gave me Lehrer’s first record as a highschool graduation present, and there it was.

When I think of Tom Lehrer I think of Allan Sherman, who was another humorous and parodist songwriter of the mid-60s….. so that means ……you should sing “Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah.”

The original version of this is hilarious, but this performance transforms it into something legitimately horrific, and I couldn’t even explain why, but I love it!

A bit slower than I’m used to, but your voice is so expressive, it still works.

There really do need to be more humorous songs about murder. Our folk circles tend to pair this up with Shel Silverstein’s “Welcome to our House”, but the only other we can ever remember is the obscure Neil Gaiman-penned Tea and Corpses.
