Doesn't contain any songs, but "The Investigator" [a Canadian production, as dl can tell us] is a very pointed
satire of the McCarthy Arschlocherei.  Used to be available for dnld on the net; don't know if it still is.

THE RED BOOGIE..MORRIE GOODSON & SONNY VALE (on Charter, I recall)
(It's in the big Bear Family box..probably lots of other appropriate ones as well)

And the opening to Stan Freberg's LITTLE BLUE RIDING HOOD (Only the color has 
been changed to prevent an investigation).

For that matter, Freberg's "Point of Order" lampooned the whole McCarthy/Army 
Hearings.
