He had a lot of ethnic dialect material, some sung, some recited. For example, a punning Russian dialect song, apparently written by a friend of his for a summer camp production, which included the immortal lines:<\/p>\n<p>Like a balalaika, moaning in a minor key,<br \/>\nSome of our friends are sipping samovar tea&#8230;<br \/>\n(<em>Note: &#8220;Like a&#8221;&#8211;&#8220;laika&#8221;; &#8220;some of our&#8221;&#8211;&#8220;samovar.&#8221;)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I have a good deal more about my father, including the text of his epic recitation, <em>Jake the Plumber<\/em>, on the page I made for him, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.elijahwald.com\/georgewald.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">George Wald &#8211; Biologist from Brooklyn<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As discussed in the video, this song and the whole &#8220;sheik&#8221; craze provided a sort of ethnic bridge, not only for Mediterraneans and pseudo-Mediterraneans like Rudolf Valentino and his Jewish admirers, but for young African Americans, as witness the Mississippi Sheiks and the Alabama Sheiks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is one of the first songs I ever learned, thanks to my father, who was born in 1906 and seemed to know just about every pop song of his youth.
