Celebrated as both a musician and a mathematician was Tom Lehrer (Thomas Andrew Lehrer -- 1928-2025). Lehrer recorded pithy, humorous, and often political songs that became popular in the 1950s and 1960s. Many of his songs parodied popular musical forms, often with original melodies.
The American Mathematical Society (AMS) offers a "mostly mathematical" appreciation of Lehrer -- on YouTube, posted here by mathematician Ken Ono. Links to many videos by Ono are available here.
