Music Track - Lehrer

Those of you under the age of 60 will almost certainly never of heard of this fellow or his genre.  He is Tom Lehrer and his type of entertainment is the comic song.  With the demise of burlesque, the music hall and revues the comic song has disappeared from sight.  And yet it was a staple of previous generations.  Perhaps Rap is comic, I don't know as I can never understand the words. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhuMLpdnOjY
