Via Neal Pollack, one of the strangest pieces of film you're likely to see this year.  Morgan Freeman and Rita Moreno performing a Tom Lehrer song, from a time when children's television was noticeably more surreal.  Not to mention more verbally acute and more alcoholic: when's the last time Dora the Explorer was offered manzanilla?

That clip made me hopeful that Dave Chappelle might age gracefully into a fine character actor who specializes in godlike roles.

I didn't realize that it was Electric Company that began my lifelong love of Tom Lehrer songs.  All this time I thought it was Dr. Demento.  Electric Company was such a great show!
