Tom Lehrer celebration, Part Three, featuring covers that were previously unknown to me:

Barbara Manning presents "Rickety Tickety Tin", a reworking of "The Irish Ballad", pushing things in a horror/country angle.

If you happen to speak Swedish (which I don't), you have Lars Ekborg ready to translate and sing Lehrer for you.

The Harvard University Band presents "Fight Fiercely, Harvard." They add a bit more flourish to the original, especially when it comes to the brass instruments.

Nacha Guevara presents Estaremos Todos Juntos Algun Dia (We Will All Together When We Go in Spanish)

Stan and Doug perform "The Hunting Song" with Swedish accents. How much of the accent is genuine and how much is merely comedic exaggeration, I don't care to guess.
