The frightening thing is that most of the recordings were made in the 1960s and in many cases many of the stupidity and social injustices that Tom satirized still remain valid issues today ALAS!.

I'm pretty sure it's on his "That Was The Year That Was" album, but it might have been "An Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer", as I own them both. I'll have to dig them out tonight for another listen. You can never have too much Tom!
In honor of this thread, I'll have to play "The Vatican Rag", as well.
