Tom Lehrer has released all of his songs into the public domain
Tom Lehrer has some fantastic quotes - if you like dark humor.“Life is like a piano. What you get out of it depends on how you play it.”“If after hearing my songs just one human being is inspired to say something nasty to a friend or perhaps to strike a loved one it will all have been worth the while.”"I feel that if a person has problems communicating the very least he can do is to shut up."And now, perhaps the greatest of them all:"In short, I no longer retain any rights to any of my songs.
So help yourselves, and don’t send me any money."Godspeed, Tom, and thank you for your humor and your music!
