The threads on the Two Ronnies reminded me of this one. Has anyone heard Peter Sellers' take off of a folklorist? I have it recorded on a CD of "The Best of Peter Sellers". The folklorist gives three examples of folk singing--one from England, one from Scotland, and one from Ireland. Being of Scottish ancestry myself, I particularly loved the second one. I laughed myself to tears the first time I heard it. Unfortunately, only people in the folk music field could really appreciate the recording fully.
