Tom Lehrer

Thomas Andrew Lehrer ( ; April 9, 1928 – July 26, 2025) was an American musician. He recorded pithy, humorous, and often political songs that became popular in the 1950s and 1960s. His songs parodied popular musical forms, often with original melodies. Lehrer's early performances dealt with non-topical subjects and dark humor in songs such as "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park".
