I think the fact that Isaac Asimov was a fan of Tom Lehrer was something that I knew, albeit stuck way
way back in the dustiest archive of my memory, but when I found
a Lehrer song on YouTube that I'd never heard of before, and then discovery at
Wikipedia that Asimov remembered Lehrer singing it, well, I thought it was time to shill Lehrer again. By the by, he's still with us at age 89, and the world will be a darker place when he's gone.
Now let's celebrate by
poisoning the pigeons in the park...
PS. If you need some of his more obscure jokes explained, there's
a site that has annotated his lyrics...
