I used to listen to this Leroy Anderson song when I was a kid. I had the CD!

Jesus, my husband, pointed me to this clip of Jerry Lewis and his pinky rings performing to the song. Jesus is from Spain. Watching this made me ask a question posed by many, many Americans before me: Why do Europeans thing this guy is so funny? 

“I DON’T think it’s funny!” he says as I write this.

Then why is your smile 5-inches wide, goofball? 

“Because it was funny when I was a kid! You didn’t think this was funny when you were six? What did you think was funny? Woody Allen?”

Yes. And this explains why I still think that all sperm speaks with a Brooklyn accent.
