Having grown up on Allan Sherman but not Tom Lehrer, I have had the fun of discovering the latter as an adult. Whenever I get the chance for something new, like this, then, it's a real kick. (And yes, if I had a chance to get some Allan Sherman video, I'd love that, too.)
Video footage of Allan Sherman is much easier to come by because he didn't shy away from TV the way Lehrer has. He did two TV specials, appeared in two movies, guested on a bunch of TV shows, and was the original voice of the Cat in the Hat.
