I love this song and think of it all the time. A nice name check through a chunk of 60s pop culture, just a fun song, and very unusual.
Once met a guy named Lenny, and I tried to use this song as a way to remember his name. His GF was Micah, like in the Bible, and they were enthusiastic bowlers, a fun couple and I wanted to join their league but never got around to it.
But yes, this song goes running through my head all the time.
And I know who Lenny Bruce is, but this song was easier to tag rather than just relating the guy to the (tragic) comedian.
