*grin* I noticed that the song immediately after it was based on a Tom
Lehrer song.  He's one of my favorites of musical comedy... and,
incidentally, he teaches at UCSC (University of California, Santa Cruz), in
the town where I grew up.  I've actually met the guy, and got him to
autograph a copy of his song book that I have.

(Little known fact:  Tom Lehrer left the musical comedy business shortly
after Henry Kissinger won the Nobel Peace Prize.  He is quoted as saying
that he was quitting because "I can't write anything more absurd than
that.")
