I heard this song many times in the mid-80s, but can't for the life of me remember much more than this: it featured a man identifying each member of the band. Each member was someone famous and usually dead - for example (and this is the only lyric I remember precisely), "Sigmund Freud on triangle". It's been driving me nuts for months now - anyone know what it might be?

Right on! Thank you much - you've made me (and my mother, who was also wracking her brains) very happy.
