My Aunt Minnie bought a mini-skirt,
A mini-skirt,
A mini-skirt.
She's too skinny for a mini-skirt.
Such a skinny creature
Shouldn't feature such a feature
But my old Aunt Minnie bought a mini-skirt
And all the fellas flirt.
Everybody's wise
To my Aunt Minnie's thighs
In her crazy mini-skirt.
She's thinking young,
She's thinking young.
She's thinking younger than the youngters she's among.
She's really cool, she's hip,
A gas, a trip.
She's the inspiration
For the Pepsi generation.
And she popped up later at a pop art show
A pop art show,
A pop art show.
What's she doin' at a pop art show?
Trading her Utrillo
For a plastic box of Brillo
For a painting of a can of lentil soup
She traded her Van Gogh
Then she took all her pop
And traded it for op
At that crazy pop art show.
She's thinking young,
She's thinking young.
She's thinking younger than the youngters she's among.
She's really cool, she's hip,
A gas, a trip.
She went to a happening
(And didn't know what's happening.)
And then she go-goed at a discotheque,
A discotheque,
A discotheque.
Uncle Morris was a nervous wreck.
Poor old Uncle Morris
Only lasted half a chorus.
But when Minnie go-goed at that discotheque,
The kids picked up her check.
Why they could hardly look
At how Aunt Minnie shook.
First they saw her do
Her wicked boogaloo,
And then they saw her swing
Her shaky shing-a-ling
At that crazy discotheque.

Allan Sherman (30 novembre 1924 – 20 novembre 1973) è stato un cantautore, paroliere e produttore televisivo statunitense noto per le sue parodie musicali degli anni '60. Nato a New York da una famiglia ebrea, Sherman iniziò la sua carriera come scrittore di commedie per il teatro e la televisione. Il suo album d'esordio, *My Son, the Folk Singer* (1962), divenne il disco più venduto fino a quel momento, grazie al successo di brani come "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh", una parodia del celebre *Dance of the Hours* di Ponchielli. Sherman ha continuato a pubblicare album di successo negli anni '60 e '70, caratterizzati da un umorismo intelligente e orecchiabili melodie. Tra i suoi brani più famosi ricordiamo anche "The Ballad of Irving Berlin" e "A Bushel and a Peck". La sua musica ha contribuito a definire l'umorismo musicale americano degli anni '60, influenzando generazioni di artisti.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
