I don't really have much to add about Dr. Demento favourite Tom Lehrer. If you must know, he's a singer-songwriter who wrote and performed an enormous amount of (often darkly) comic music. He's also a polymath and reknowned mathematician. He did That Song that lists the Elements to the tune of Major-General's Song from The Pirates of Penzance.
More to the point, why are you reading instead of playing a song about poisoning pigeons? Stop right now and listen!
Happy Saturday!
