I think that this is one of the last songs that Tom wrote before ending his career. But don't quote me on that

  • this is horrible, I LOVE IT.

  • @TheSaxby I did the EXACT SAME THING with the same result! Uncultured fools.

  • Not only did Oedipus marry his mother, but his daughter/sister was engaged to her cousin/first-cousin-once-remov­ed.

  • All those Tom Lehrer tracks take me back to my school days (which ended in 1966). What a comedian the man was!

  • @joys4peace

    I played this for my English class last year after we finished Antigone. I don't think anyone enjoyed it as much as I did.

  • that was one twisted play....

  • Oh shit, I accidently disliked this somehow. FORGIVE ME!

  • Haha we are reading Oedipus in English and my teacher showed this to us.

  • I can imagine my Uncle singing this..... And it's a scary thought.

  • my english teacher played this for us in class today xD
