Walking in on anyone in a very dark room just sitting there by themselves on a creepy gothic chair would be frightening, Dracula or not. I think I'll remove all furniture except a gothic chair from a room and start sitting in the dark to see if i can freak out my friends.

I agree it hardly sounds like Tom. It might be because according to Nick Raposo, Joe Raposo wrote the music, and Lehrer wrote the lyrics, but because Joe and Tom were good friends, Joe gave the songwriting credit to Lehrer. If this is true, that's rare of Joe Raposo - he seldom gave away songwriting credits to anyone! If you listen, it sounds more like Joe Raposo than it does Tom Lehrer - so I trust Nick's word on it.
