Tom Lehrer

    Lehrer était un auteur-compositeur-interprète qui s'accompagnait au piano. Il est surtout connu pour les chansons enregistrées dans les années 1950 et 1960, période durant laquelle il a également enseigné les mathématiques à Harvard et dans d'autres universités. Beaucoup de ses compositions étaient satiriques, notamment "Fight Fiercely, Harvard", proposée comme hymne pour son alma mater. D'autres abordaient des problèmes sociaux contemporains, tels que "Pollution" et "I Wanna Go Back to Dixie" (offrant une vision très peu flatteuse du Sud pendant l'ère de l'intégration), tandis que certaines exploraient l'humour noir décalé, comme en témoigne "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park".
