The Vatican Rag

Tom Lehrer's song performed by Marty Feldman et al. Lehrer's intro: "Another big news story of the year concerned the Ecumenical Council in Rome known as Vatican II. Among the things they did, in an attempt to make the church more commercial, was to introduce the vernacular into portions of the Mass to replace Latin, and to widen somewhat the range of music permissible in the Liturgy. But I feel that if they really want to sell the product, in this secular age, what they ought to do, is to redo some of the Liturgical music in popular song forms. I have a modest example here, it's called the Vatican Rag".

Feldman must have known Lehrer in the days when Marty was headwriter on "Frost Report" and Lehrer was a regular on It.
