What, no love for [Tom Lehrer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Lehrer)? Granted, his ouevre was songs, but for humor and gentle satire he can’t be beat, IMHO.

If you sample nothing else of his, you MUST check out his “[Vatican Rag](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvhYqeGp_Do).” Every time I listen to it I have get up and dance around cackling.
