An Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer (Music)	comment	An Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer and More of Tom Lehrer are the second and third albums by humorous singer-songwriter Tom Lehrer.Both released in 1959, they contain the same songs, with More being a vanilla studio album and Evening being a Live Album with additional banter between the songs.

An Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer (Music) / int_389b0e	comment	Title Theme Tune: Parodied in "Oedipus Rex". In his spoken-word introduction, he explains that he feels the 1957 film version of Sophocles' Oedipus Rex did not fare well with audiences because it "did not have a title tune which the people could hum, and which would actually make them eager to attend this particular flick". He then attempts to "supply this need" with a "prospective title song".
