Tom Lehrer

Tom Lehrer is an American musical genius who’s best known for his sharp wit and satirical take on just about everything through music. Born in 1928, this multi-talented maestro has had a colorful career as a songwriter, mathematician, and comedian. Many remember him for his hilariously irreverent songs like "The Elements" and "Poisoning Pigeons," which blend clever wordplay with catchy tunes, making even the most mundane topics feel delightfully amusing.

Lehrer's body of work, highlighted in albums like "That Was the Year That Was" and stage productions such as "Tomfoolery," continues to charm fans old and new. Besides his music, he's also a math whiz, having taught at Harvard and MIT, proving that you can mix brains with a sense of humor and still come out on top. If you've got an appreciation for both top-tier satire and musical prowess, Tom Lehrer is your guy.
