Tom Lehrer's an oldschool musical comedian whom you might recognize from that one time he sung all the chemical elements really, really fast. Most/all of his stuff is glorious, even if some of it's kinda dated, and he's a really good musician and just all-round rad. This video ain't exactly the copy of the song I wanted to post, but it's got the preamble (admittedly with less Comedy Gold - version I have he sasses the church a great deal harder, but whatever) which is necessary.
Anyway, I like it because I like ragtime and also because I like clever rhymes and also because I enjoy how subtly-gleeful and droll and sassy he is. I also recommend everything else he's ever done ever, because he's a rad dude.
So bow your head with great respect, and genuflect, genuflect, genuflect!
