How about Tom Lehrer, famous for such hit tunes as
"Poisoning pigeons in the park" and, on nuclear war, "We will all go together when we go..."

There was a fellow a few years back who was a comedian and pianist. He was probably middle to late middle age, and composed and performed songs that were pure satirical satire.
Does anyone recognize who I'm talking about? I have absolutely no recollection of his name and wonder what he's doing now. He used to have either an late night nightly or weekly show.....
