    I loved his stuff. Very clever, and often very dark lyrics. Try “Oedipus Rex”, “I hold your hand in mine”. 
    Was also a maths professor at the top US seats of learning. R.I.P.

  • Well worth reading up on his life if you aren't familiar. A fascinating and talented guy. I think his humour still feels incredibly contemporary so many years on.

    RIP
  • Possibly one of my favourite Tom Lehrer ditties:
    “I got it from Agnes, she got it from Jim, we all agree, it must have been Louise who gave it to him ….. “
    Filth! 😆
