Tom Lehrer on 'Smut'

[anonjohn]

Tom Lehrer died recently on 26 July 2025 age 97.

Here he is, singing about a subject dear to our hearts - Smut

The performance was in 1967 Copenhagen. It is always difficult politically to defend smut, or to admit you enjoy it. In today's climate this song is even more aposite.

Apologies if this is off topic (not erotic), but I thought it was just within the border because everyone is here because we like "smut" and many of us are filthy smut-pedlers. And why not laugh about it.

Glad to find another Lehrer fan. I’ve been a fan since I was 8 years old and didn’t get all the jokes. Lehrer made fun of everything, I truly wonder if he could have done the same thing today. I loved that he put his bad reviews on the cover of TW3!
