  2. Hilarious, both of them! To borrow another line from our era: Look what they've done to my song, Ma.

  3. Hi Michael,

    Thanks for the laugh! Sellers' rendition was wonderful. I must go and listen to more of Ms Berberian's songs.

  4. Oh my. Hilarious. Thanks for this. I needed a good laugh in the midst of a manuscript on blood pressure response to renal artery stenting. I am so glad I happened upon your blog!

  5. Oh. My. Gosh. I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. I can't see to type for the tears! My daughter just broke up with her boyfriend and she is going to LOVE the Berberian.
