Noirsville Bonus - How To Speak Hip

Del Close & John Brent - How To Speak Hip - released by Mercury Records in 1961. 

A satire of language-learning records, where the secret language of hip is treated as a foreign language. Part of the joke, however, is that it actually does a good job of describing the Beat Generation/Beatnik sub-culture.
