"The Vatican Rag"Tom Lehrer

B
A bouncy ragtime tune and mind-bending rhymes (a few examples: "say his own" & "kyrie eleison," "religion'll" & "original," and "abdomen" & "a Roman"), all about the Second Vatican Council, then topical but still pertinent.
This album ranges from C to B+, averaging out to B-. It doesn't contain all his classics, but it's a pretty good sampling, and of course time capsule.
