Thomas Andrew "Tom" Lehrer (born April 9, 1928) is an an american song writer, satirist, pianist and mathematician. He has lectured on mathenatics and musical theater. Lehrer is best known for the pithy, humorous songs he recorded in the 1950s and 60s.
His work often parodied popular song forms, notably in "The Elements", where he sets the names of the chemical elements to the tune of the "Major-General's Song" from Gilbert and Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance.
