Satire is one of the oldest forms of humor and adding music makes it even more powerful; in early Germanic and Celtic societies, people mocked in song would break out in boils and even commit suicide. Join David Misch as he shows how a dozen hilarious, and pointed, songs mock racism, war, sexism, income inequality and more. Featuring Randy Newman, Weird Al Yankovic, Gilbert & Sullivan, Steve Martin, Amy Schumer, Chuck Berry, Tom Lehrer, Groucho Marx, Key & Peele and “South Park.” (Note: Please do not attend if you are prone to boils.)
