So Long, Mom (A Song for World War III)

By Tom Lehrer,

Who says:

This year we've been celebrating the hundredth anniversary of the Civil War and the fiftieth anniversary of the beginning of World War I and the twentieth anniversary of the end of World War II so all in all it's been a good year for the war buffs and a number of LPs and television specials have come out capitalizing on all this "nostalgia" with particular emphasis on the songs of the various wars. I feel that if any songs are going to come out of World War III we'd better start writing them now. I have one here. You might call it a bit of pre-nostalgia. This is the song that some of the boys sang as they went bravely of to World War III.

( Describing contrapuntally the cities we have lost )

I considered for a brief moment the Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-To-Die Rag, but what with the ridiculous saber-rattling vs Iran and the unending failure to attend to nuclear nonproliferation (both candidates agreed, the most pressing foreign policy issue!), the choice is clear! Besides, Lehrer's music is just better.
