I am just wondering if my friends and I were very strange teenagers to love Tom Lehrer so much (in preference to the pop idols of the day)

I remember my brother bringing a record of 'The Old Dope Peddler' home from boarding school.

My mother had a fit!!

Ernie ( the fastest milkman in the West.)Benny Hill
Right said Fred, Bernard Cribbins
When Father Papered The Parlour
In Old Amsterdam ( a little mouse with clogs on)

I heard ' Hello Mother , Hello Father ...... Camp Granada ' the other day - It's always made me smile . My wee grandson's off to camp next week so it was even more poignant .

The Indian doctor one, boom boody boom. I think it's called "Goodness gracious me."

I loved Jake Thackeray too. The Landlord song from Les Mis is also very funny.

merlotgran I remember the Old Dope Peddler (from The Old Lamp Lighter of Long Ago.)
I like a few Gilbert and Sullivan songs too, especially Duke of Plazatoro.
There were lots of songs from the '60s following the TV series 'That was the News That Was' that revived ironic humour.
eg Not the 9 o'clock News - My Baby Takes the Morning Train
