I actually pulled that down yesterday and put it on my iPod. I've seen that song performed by a several different incarnations of the Whiffs in the 80s and 90s (they "tap" an entirely new group each year). I don't know if it's still in the repertoire, but it was always a crowd pleaser. The soloist, JoCo's role, plays it straight, but then three other members of the group play the "Pips" and are invariably hilarious drawing lots of laughs. The 1991 Whiff CD that I have also has that song on it.
I haven't listened to very much of JoCo's work, but I happened to hear Camp Bachelor Alma Mater which clearly was influenced by his days at Yale the same way that Tom Lehrer's Bright College Days was influenced by his time at Harvard.
I did send off an email to the Spizzwinks(?). Presumably, they'll get back to me soon enough.
