You can always tell a Harvard man, you just can't tell him much!  ;)

Better known for his musical satire:

Poisoning Pidgins in the Park and The Masochistic Tango

Tom Lehrer also recorded The Element Song set to the tune of A Modern Major-General from the Pirates of Penzance.

Now for something completely different, Tom Lehrer diss'ing a "founder" of the NASA space program. (Dr. Strangelove?)

If your wondering, yes, the first eight bars is Lehrer playing the intro to "Deutschland Deutschland über alles", a German song which was popular in the "glory days" :-)
