Yes. An awesomely funny and memorable sketch. I still think of it spontaneously and sing, to myself chuckling: "This old world/it's got its problems/it's up to us/to try and solve 'em."
This reminds me of when I went to see Pete Seeger live at James Madison University when he was there with the Society of Friends in 1996 or 1997 expecting some great folk music in the vein of Woody Guthrie, but instead got something much like this.
This also reminds me of all those painful Peter, Paul and Mary reunion concerts on PBS every year. Not exactly what I would call edgy.
Still brilliantly funny. My wife and I have been singing 'Cliff the Magic Squirrel' and 'Bottle of Wine' regularly since 1984. Many thanks for finding and posting this!

ABC cut this so completely, I forgot half these songs had lyrics.

Could this have been the seed that grew into "A Mighty Wind"?

@naizret: Did you add more verses to the songs in question?
