Time for a little Tom Leherer redux.

Leherer is a little bit before my time, so I’m kind of surprised by some of the stuff he touched on. Pretty tame for nowadays, but do you know if his material raised any eyebrows in 1960? I know Lenny Bruce was performing around that same time frame, so maybe he set the standard for others. Maybe I shouldn’t be so surprised - I remember watching Buddy Hackett on HBO and he was pretty salty for an old timer... funny, but salty.
