Tom Lehrer was wonderful. And even fans can find some new songs (see below) - for various reasons I recently mentioned "Wernher von Braun" to a friend who I knew liked him, and she had never heard it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEJ9HrZq7Ro&list=RDQEJ9HrZq7Ro&start_radio=1
And of course, his reply to the question of why he was no longer doing satire is a classic: that satire was obsolete after Kissinger was given the Nobel Peace Prize.
Also, his relinquishing of all his rights to his compositions was a rather heroic act. And the website publicising this reveals an amazing number of songs, many of which I had never heard of, and although presumably not all of them are classics I still intend to browse around them... https://tomlehrersongs.com/

I've never been into Metal, but Ozzy was a beautiful, loving soul. RIP.
This made me smile:
