Default The Professor..."best" recording (inc Lisa)?

Hey guys,

Since hearing the Professor performed with Lisa at the recent Melbourne gig, I have been pining for a decent recording of The Professor with the pair of them. I would appreciate any suggestions for where I might source such a beast? The damn thing is just stuck in my head. Many thanks.

Well the single one doesn't have Lisa, the first KCRW session they played had a really good quality version with Lisa, but they had to change the lyrics because it was daytime radio in the US... There's no real answer to that question I'm afraid. It's pretty much impossible to pick a 'best'. The Kids' Version is really funny if you can track it down.

If you mean the best Professor w. Lisa singing the 2nd verse...the best is the one from El Rey, last Nov in LA. The torrent is everywhere.

Thanks guys. Grabbing the El Rey show now. Btw, I did have my tongue planted firmly in cheek when asking for the "best".

edit: if anyone's interested (i have my doubts, but just sent it to someone else who requested it, so figured i'd share it here too), here is a recording of the song from melbourne:

Warning: the right channel is completely screwy. Ruins an otherwise fine recording.

Re-thinking about it... The best ever The Professor IMO is from a gig in Philadelphia (15 Apr 2004), in which Lisa does the 2nd verse, but the song also includes Damien doing the Child, Dog & Silly Man bit!!! I got it from dimeadozen!!
