Tom Lehrer (born 1928) is an American singer-songwriter, satirist, and mathematician known for his witty, often dark, and intellectually sharp songs. His works, such as "The Elements," "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park," and "Wernher von Braun," showcased his unique blend of humor and academic insight, making him a distinctive voice in Musical Comedy and Satire during the mid-20th century. Lehrer often used complex topics to craft deceptively simple and biting social commentary.
