Music for the Apocalypse #39 I hold your hand in mine Tom Lehrer
I had to follow up who’s next with this little love song for serial killer/zombie fancier types. It’s not really an end of the world track, but it has a suitably sinister note in spite of the chirpy piano playing.
On a personal note, I will always associate this song with Newcastle train station and my old uni flatmate Jolanda. Enjoy.
Music for the Apocalypse #38: Who’s Next, by Tom Lehrer
As pertinent today as it was in 1967:


Terrifyingly, having The Bomb seems to have been taken as a token of admission to being taken seriously on the world stage. Iran claims not to want The Bomb, and yet the ‘nuclear’ payload is still a political asset that Iranians covet: ‘God willing, we expect to soon join the club of the countries that have a nuclear industry, with all its branches, except the military one‘ Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, former president of Iran, has said. And yet the rest of the world looks on with anxiety at their nuclear progress, thinking to themselves, well, if Israel has the bomb… who’s next?
– Apocalypse Womble out.
