Summary: Dated, but fun 2008-11-19
Comment: The incredible rhymes, the gentle satire, the wonderful music all combine to make this a collection for people who like the above. There is a fair amount of dated material, but I think that just makes it more educational, and seeking out all of the references (for example, in Greensleeves) is an education in itself.

Summary: Hilariously funny! 2008-07-14
Comment: After hearing this British pair on PBS radio I determined I must have something produced by them. This had me, as we say, in "stitches" of laughter throughout. They are two of the funniest men I have ever heard. The set will be enjoyed for many years!

Summary: blast from the past 2007-12-21
Comment: Heard these guys as a kid, lost the albums, and am delighted to find them available. Funny, delightful, entertaining, just as I remembered. A few things are a bit dated ("and then the ashtray fell off" in a plane monologue" but for the most part, fresh as ever.

Summary: Swann and Flanders 2007-10-27
Comment: This 3 CD set has satire, social and political commentary and catchy music all at its best. One of the recordings unfortunately doesn't have as good sound quality as I would like but the content is hilarious and poignant. There is a wart hog who is shunned by animal society and a cannibal boy who refuses to eat people. The wompom song extolls this imaginary plant with the same gusto that current day herbalists push tea tree extract. There are more wonderful songs than I can describe. I heartily recommend this CD compilation.

Summary: Return to Sanity 2005-07-27
Comment: Before Monty Python, before the Beatles, before "'Enery the Aigth Oi Am" there was the subtle, sweet, insdious humor of Flanders and Swann, and their lyrics remain part of the recognition rituals of Ivy Leaguers of the sixties. For any aging hippies or yuppies who find life WAY more stressful than we ever expected, and for whom the down side of alcohol, sex, and drugs has become apparent, I recommend listening several times to "In the Bath". It raises a cry for peace among the nations by inviting all the leaders to sit congenially steaming in a communal bathtub. And they reminding us of our essential self-interest when they add the proviso "as long as Swann and Flanders get the end without the taps." On those nights when we suspect that there isn't any point to it all, reach for the Flanders and Swann. They won't convince you there is any meaning to life, but they'll make it a lot easier to bear. Don't even try to do without it.
