I grew up listening to Tom Lehrer. My father (a physicist, taught at UC Berkeley) loved listening to Tom Lehrer so my whole family got to enjoy such classics as “Sliding Down the Razor Blade of Life” and many other very funny songs.

BTW, search for “Tom Lehrer” on YouTube Music - they have a lot of his stuff.

"Soon we'll be sliding down the razor blade of life" is a lyric from "Bright College Days", rather than a song of its own. I'm not sure that you intended to imply it was a song, but it was unclear.

(And/)or check out his website, with all of his music (which he's placed in the public domain): https://tomlehrersongs.com/

You are correct! That was a lyric in a song. Thanks for correcting.
