Tom Lehrer ist nun im Alter von 97 Jahren verstorben. Ein Mathematiker und frecher Liedermacher.
Eins seiner Lieder ist „Oedipus Rex“. Hier die ersten drei Strophen.

From the Bible to the popular song
There's one theme that we find right along
Of all ideals they hail as good
The most sublime is motherhood

There was a man though, who it seems
Once carried this ideal to extremes
He loved his mother and she loved him
And yet his story is rather grim

There once lived a man named Oedipus Rex
You may have heard about his odd complex
His name appears in Freud's index
'Cause he loved his mother
