I've got an album of his. I think that while his actual musical stylings tend to not date well, the lyrics never fail to amuse me, and as a former student in a Catholic School, this song is no exception.

My favorite ditty of his is "National Brotherwood Week", but all his stuff cracks me up.

They're all being re-released on dvd, so the dating can't be that bad. Think his style's just fine myself. Beats the blippity-bloppity sh*** I hear from my neighbours....''But now it's..''

Tom Lehrer is a brilliant musician and text writer. "Poisoning pigeons in the park" is hilarious.
