kikanjuuneko:
When it comes to Tom Lehrer, we all know that 'I Got It From Agnes' kicks the most ass.

KharBevNor:
Just what that song implies. In the 1950's...

kikanjuuneko:
I'm surprised the man wasn't lynched.

crazybritishsteve:
Periodic table song SAVED MY LIFE!!! Best way to do chemistry EVER!

OtterErotic:
I feel like lyricists generally fall into three categories: terrible, passable, and good.  Most lyricists fall into the middle category -- esp. in rock / indie rock, most lyricists have figured out how not to embarrass themselves terribly, but still can't pull off jaw-dropping stuff.

As for the last category, there are very few lyricists I would include, but a few of them are:

Dan Bejar (Destroyer)
John Darnielle (Mountain Goats)
Jeff Mangum (Neutral Milk Hotel)
Will Oldham (Palace, Bonnie Prince Billy, etc)
