Unrelated to Freberg, but still very related to the Hi-Fi phenomenon, is
Flanders & Swann's "A Song of Reproduction"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7huNxJ3pXUE
(This is a 1959 recording; a version from 1957 exists with slightly
different lyrics. "I can make Caruso sound like 'Hutch'" instead of "Bel
Canto sounds like double Dutch", and without the references to stereo in
the middle monologue.)
