Re: JEWISH-MUSIC digest 2449

The Tom Lehrer song in question is indeed a Tom Lehrer song, although, 
rare for him, a parody of an existing song: M-O-T-H-E-R.  The original 
began "'M' is for the many things she gave me . . ."  Lehrer substituted 
names of Boston subway stops, with the conclusion "Put them all together, 
they spell [hawk ptui] Which is what Boston means to me."  Next, try 
Select-a-Song for the "Hannukah in Santa Monica" song.
