A musical guilty pleasure... Brobdingnagian Bards, "Do Virgins Taste Better Medley" - from A Faire To Remember (2001) What am I saying?

Hope no one minds two Covered in Folk features in the same week; in my other life I've got student grades to process and a new term starting up Thursday, so I needed something quick.
