Tomfoolery - Evening of Tom Lehrer songs
Feb. 18th, 2005 12:26 amWhich is basically, four actors singing the songs with added dancing and bitching and quips inbetween. Fucking hysterical. Dillie Keane, Kit and the Widow (some of you might know Kit from Just a Minute) and Matthew (er. Can't remember his last name, but looks terribly like Will Young. But a bendy, dancing-background Will Young. mmmmmm.)
What's fucking scary? Send the Marines. and Pollution, to which they went 'hmm, Kyoto....' These were written in the early 60s and they're still absolutely on the nail. Poisoning Pigeons, the Old Dope Peddlar (earlier pointing out that since the 60s, the only major growth product of the US has been drugs), the Mexico Song, Vatican Rag (with added ragtime dancing), Irish Ballad (added Riverdance pisstake) and Hold Your Hand in Mine are just plain *fun* no matter what, but the political ones are scary because America is still the same. Right up to and including National Brotherhood Week, with added line of 'Dubya Bush and Michael Moore are dancing cheek-to-cheek'.
ETA : Cute bloke was Matthew Woolfenden. n Who is fucking adorable, has great comic timing and facial expressions, can jump over a chair from a standing start (yes, right over the damn back) and can kick rather high. Did I mention he was flexible? Support his career now so we can have many piccies of him in magazines sometime soon.
