On the Mosen Explosion, the biggest explosion of them all

What a blast it was to receive such a positive response to last week’s show which celebrated the great Tom Lehrer’s 89th birthday. And yes, I use the word “blast” in the context of this promo most deliberately! It’s nice to know so many of the Mushroom Crowd appreciates his irreverent humour and wit, along with his musical and literary genius.

One of the songs we played on last week’s show is an old favourite of mine, a song about nuclear annihilation done in the style of a rousing gospel hymn, called “We will all go together when we go”.

Calling Names in The Shed.

If you’ve been listening to the Shed over the last three weeks, either live or via the replay, you’ll be aware of a discussion we’ve been having.
We’ve been talking about songs with people’s names in the title.
Things like, ‘The Wind cries Mary’ or ‘Daniel’, just to name a couple.
As promised, from 11pm Eastern tonight, that 4am Sunday in the UK and 3Pm Sunday here in good old New Zealand, we will be featuring songs with people’s names somewhere in the title.

This week on The Mosen Explosion, happy birthday Tom Lehrer

One of my favourite satirists and comedians of all time, Tom Lehrer, blows out 89 candles on the 9th of April.

Tom Lehrer wrote songs when it interested him, and didn’t when it didn’t. This means that his total body of work is small, but the quality is absolutely superb.
