Not speaking for Michael, but the comedy buff (me :-)) recognises the work
of Allan Sherman from an album released in mid 1960s - I'd guess between 63
and 65. I can see the album cover (vinyl 33.333333...) but the date is hazy.
The music is from "The Dance of the Hours" which is from the source you
quoted. The same music was used in Disney's "Fantasia".
