TIL that Tom Lehrer - MIT mathematician, satirist, and the guy who wrote both the Harvard fight song and a song teaching kids the periodic table - invented the Jell-O shot in the 1950s to sneak booze into a government Christmas party.

Why are these covers AI?

I'm pretty sure that first one LITERALLY has a Gemini logo and it isn't even relevant. Who allowed this??? It's horrible!!! I just want to listen to Tom Lehrer and I have to look at this slop on my screen. Isn't there anything that can be done about this? He deserves more than AI

Tom Lehrer books

Another question from me, I've seen that on his wiki, there's only 3 books, the fourth one here is not on there. Are these books all different? What would be the best one?

Musician-humorists similar to Tom Lehrer?

Greetings and felicitations. I have had The Remains of Tom Lehrer box set for apparent decades, and am wondering who else is like him. I infer/vaguely recall that Steve Allen is likely, but none of his three comedic albums are available on CD. I also have both of "Weird Al" Yankovic's box sets (Permanent Record: Al in the Box and Squeeze Box, which superseded it) and all four of the CDs by Garfunkel and Oates, plus an extensive filk, though much of it is on cassette. Who else is there (on CD)?

Clementine

Hi!
In Clementine’s third verse, Tom mimics the modern “cool school” composers and I’m obsessed with the sound. Do you guys know who I could listen to to get more of it?
