My Dad had a couple of his albums and I remember when I was younger he would always play them when we took family roadtrips, along with a favorite Scandinavian fellow of ours, Stan Boreson (I realize probably no one else has heard of him outside of the Scandinavian community, but trust me, his parodies are funny!)<br /><br />Good post! I enjoyed it, and I think I am going to go dig up those Lehrer albums now :-)<br /><br />~Hila~Hilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12113107221785400285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-4143138223580361332006-09-12T23:21:00.000-04:002006-09-12T23:21:00.000-04:00Count me in as one of the culturally ignorant.

I find that he doesn't age as well as Tom Lehrer does -- even though most of Lehrer's stuff is dated (as opposed to Sherman's).<br /><br />The WolfBrooklynWolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03994285019137108636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-44541710208673406112006-09-12T14:18:00.000-04:002006-09-12T14:18:00.000-04:00I see he's growing up with the proper sense of his...I see he's growing up with the proper sense of history for a yeshiva education - time is all one great mishmash because nothing ever changes anyway. :>)<br /><br /> I'm glad you're raising him with exposure to at least some of the classics - have you started him on Allen Sherman yet?Larry Lennhoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06578073969473815180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-63998607035020319152006-09-12T14:12:00.000-04:002006-09-12T14:12:00.000-04:00I think (and it's only my opinion) that most peopl...I think (and it's only my opinion) that most people *today* come to know of Tom Lehrer through Dr. Demento - and, as such, the first song they probably heard of his was Poisioning Pigeons in the Park. <br /><br />However, I love "National Brotherhood Week" as well.<br /><br />By the way, did you really have to be anonymous for this comment? Did you think that perhaps the members of the Poisioning Pigeons In The Park Fan Club were going to hunt you down? :)<br /><br />The WolfBrooklynWolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03994285019137108636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-16763197530107360412006-09-12T13:55:00.000-04:002006-09-12T13:55:00.000-04:00I always considered Tom Lehrer's best known song t...I always considered Tom Lehrer's best known song to be National Brotherhood Week.<br /><br />"Oh, the Protestants hate the Catholics/ and the Catholics hate the Protestants/ and the Hindus hate the Moslems/ and everybody hates the Jews"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
