Annotation
Official recordings by Lehrer
* 1959-03-20 live, released on An Evening Wasted With Tom Lehrer. There are two known versions on the full album; the time ranges overlap so worth checking by ear unless it's in context.
** The Reprise vinyl releases (judging by printed times), The Remains of Tom Lehrer and some other compilations start with "I'm sure you're all aware..."; mostly shows up at a few specific lengths: 6:24, 6:30, and 6:46.
** The 1990 CD and a few other CD and digital versions start with "The outpatients..."; also shows up with specific lengths: 6:36 and 7:03.
** a much shorter version is found on the 1966 EP, which would fit with trimming it down to just the song
* 1959-07-08 studio, released on More of Tom Lehrer, length ~4:05-4:08
