Tom Lehrer


Tom Lehrer was a mathematician and a piano player with a good wit about him. He wrote many hilarious satirical tunes in his day that, while simple, are fun. His great vocabulary and good piano playing fuel his parodies of various topics including government, religion and even other well-known tunes and styles. Some of his topics may be a bit irrelevant to the era, but they are fun nonetheless (though knowledge of the era doesn't hurt).

Note: These songs are live, so expect the laughing and clapping on the tracks.
