To me,...Make that "everybody and Peter."<br /><br />To me, it's a one-joke premise that doesn't sustain the track's length -- let alone an entire album.<br /><br />However, I did like the very monk-y pauses on some of the phrases (e.g., "a... round" at the 34-second mark), and I smiled when they intoned "We're too busy chanting to put anybody down."<br /><br />Nevertheless, I'm grateful for you exposing me to stuff I've never heard before.<br /><br />Thanks, Steve!<br /><br />PS: For anyone who likes mixing classical music with comedy, you can't go past <a href="http://www.schickele.com/" rel="nofollow">PDQ Bach</a>.
