@ Tim Walker - Yeah, his songs are far from subtle so suggesting the material went over their heads must be facetious. As far as how old Tom survived his stint in the Army he did what anybody in any profession did. @Jim Foley- He didn't take himself too seriously and was able to find the humor in life regardless of the setting. Climb down off your pedestal. I retired Army, and am now finishing school...so far the environment more likely to 'brook no dissent' was the military. Were you being ironic or stupid?

The only part I don't get is the "Real RA material" line. Anyone?

I'm going to show this to my grandpa who served in Vietnam (stationed in South Korea though).

Can any of my friends in the US suggest, how Tom was able to survive his stint in the U.S. army? I guess his lyrics went over most of his comrades' heads... ;-)

Anyone who has been in the military knows EXACTLY what this guy is singing about.

Not exactly the same but we do have John Stewart and Stephen Colbert.

The increased longevity of the average (or exceptional) American means someone already fielded all the topical references that otherwise would escape today's youth. Thanks, guys, for making my job that much easier! Great post man! Also, for a recent comic song, check out my "That's Why This Monkey Sings the Blues", also posted here on YouTube. Four evolved thumbs up to Mister Tom Lehrer!

Somebody once asked Tom if he was married and had kids, and he supposedly sad "not guilty on both counts", so, no Tom Jr.
