Now if I may indulge in a bit of personal history, a few years ago I worked for a while at the los alamos scientific laboratory in new mexico. I had a job there as a spy. no, I guess you know th
E staff out there at that time was composed almost exclusively of spies... of one persuasion or another. and, while I was out there, I came to realize how much the wild west had changed since th
D old days of wyatt earp and home on the range, and here then is a modern cowboy ballad commemorating that delightful metamorphosis called the wild west is where I wanna be.
Along the trail youll find me lopin
Where the spaces are wide open,
In the land of the old a.e.c. (yea-hah!)
Where the scenerys attractive,
And the air is radioactive,
Oh, the wild west is where I wanna be.
Mid the sagebrush and the cactus,
Ill watch the fellas practice
Droppin bombs through the clean desert breeze.
Ill have on my sombrero,
And of course Ill wear a pair o
Levis over my lead b.v.d.s.
Ah will leave the citys rush,
Leave the fancy and the plush,
Leave the snow and leave the slush
And the crowds.
Ah will seek the deserts hush,
Where the scenery is lush,
How I long to see the mush-
Room clouds.
mid the yuccas and the thistles
Ill watch the guided missiles,
While the old f.b.i. watches me. (yea-hah!)
Yes, Ill soon make my appearance
(soon as I can get my clearance),
cause the wild west is where I wanna be.
Tom Lehrer (Thomas Andrew Lehrer) è stato un cantautore, comico, pianista e matematico statunitense nato a New York nel 1920. Conosciuto per le sue brevi canzoni umoristiche, spesso satiriche e con testi intelligenti, ha raggiunto la popolarità negli anni '50 e '60. Le sue canzoni, caratterizzate da un ritmo incalzante e una melodia orecchiabile, affrontavano temi controversi come la guerra, la politica e la religione, sempre con un tocco di ironia e sarcasmo. Tra i suoi brani più famosi figurano "The Elements", "Werner Herzog's Last Movie" e "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park". Lehrer ha pubblicato diversi album, tra cui "Tom Lehrer Sings" (1959) e "An Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer" (1965). Oltre alla musica, Lehrer si è dedicato all'insegnamento della matematica presso l'Università di Harvard. La sua carriera musicale è stata interrotta negli anni '70, ma le sue canzoni continuano ad essere apprezzate per la loro intelligenza e il loro humour pungente.
