On a whim, here's one of the rarest of Tom Lehrer's albums, "Tom Lehrer Discovers Australia", released in 1960. For those who know his satirical and comic songs, it'll be a repeat treat; for those who have yet to have the pleasure of getting to know him, you'll love this one.
A vintage comedy classic!
