The song is jewish shtick in the extreme. Consider the perspective of older adults parodying some early 1960s kid comparatively complaining about his dilemmas.A WHOLE day at Camp Granada-how about Dachau. Joyce's Ulysses was put on a US federal trial for referencing masturbation. Aunt Bertha(i.e., Big Bertha-the German WWI cannon) alludes to Germany-do you necessarily want to be loved by someone that is OBLIGATED to love you?Please... BTW Dr,Demento worked at KMET by the La Brea Tar Pits in LA.
those comentators speaking on top of this great funny song are irritating, with no sense of humor and probbrly jelous that the that has made a buck for the author!
the ULYSSES ref. was sadly a chronological jk, guys. James Joyce's Ulysses won a landmark free speech case early in the last century, despite rather spicy scenes in a brothel and saucy banter about prostitution in the Ottoman Empire, as well as adultery. That Supreme Court decision would have been proof to a parents in Sherman's era that the U.S. was going to Hell in a handbasket, and any "Head Coach" at a boys' summer camp reading such book aloud to the kids was a PERVERT, hence the laughter.
I was being real because I googled it and it really didn't give me any info as to what Ulessys was all about. I thought it was about homos actually, but since you explained it to me, now I get it
you do kinda wonder why leo bloom cares so much about stephan dedalus so much but then again he (leo) is Ulyssess to stephan (telemachus) you dig (father and son relationship)? but then molly bloom (penelope), leopold's wife, is no loyal penelope. so i d k, maybe there's more there than i remember about that but i stand on what i said before.
These guys commenting on this song are definitely out of the loop. In context, this was panned to a 1960s adult American Jewish audience. Basically, it was to contrast 60's kids experiences with that of the WWII crowd. You need to listen between the lines."Ulysses" was a James Joyce book famously put on trial & banned because of its references to masturbation.Bertha is a ref to Big Bertha, the GERMAN cannon explaining the boys revulsion to his supposedly loving aunt after the facts of WWII etc.
John Henry of clean comedy barely won the race against the steam drill of more risque humor only to die of a broken heart. I'd like to say he died w/ a hammer in his hand, but maybe he should have taken Tommy Smothers' advice, & gotten himself a steam drill too.
Allen Sherman was to filk what Adam West was to Batman. Both delivered what was wanted at the time, but the genres they delivered in were ultimately considered too good for them.
The one MST3K-ting owes his career to Allen Sherman. Just like modern skydiving owes its existance to the. Ripcord TV show. So he needs to lighten up.
i could barely hearhim b/c of the asshole talking thewhole time

I like Dr. Demento stuff actually. But yeah this song blows, although it's like a million years old, so I guess we can't blame the song too much.

Dr. Demento...geez. He did that "Kinko the Clown" song. And he had that "Fish Heads" song on one of his albums.
