"The Typewriter", composed by Leroy Anderson in 1950, is a unique musical work that transforms a typewriter into a percussive instrument. With its sounds of keys, bell and carriage return, it illustrates the frenetic pace of office work with humor and precision. This composition gained popularity thanks to the film "Un chef de rayon explosif" (1963), in which Jerry Lewis burlesquely mimes an office worker frantically typing on a typewriter, synchronized to the music. This cult scene helped make The Typewriter an iconic work, appreciated as much for its musical ingenuity as for its comic impact on popular culture.

The composition gained widespread recognition thanks to the 1963 film Who's Minding the Store?, in which Jerry Lewis delivers a hilariously exaggerated pantomime of an office worker furiously typing, perfectly synchronized with the music. This legendary scene cemented The Typewriter as a cultural icon, admired both for its musical ingenuity and its comedic legacy in popular entertainment.
