Thanks for the information, AYchip! I haven't done any research, but I think you are right. In the video he does mention that the song was for a show called "The Physical Revue."

I'm just an idiot who half the time doesn't have a clue what he's talking about, but I'm a huge Tom Lehrer fan anyhow, I have all his stuff, and of course no one I know has ever heard of him. I wish I could meet Tom and get an album autographed. He's probably above that sort of thing.
