When Disney originally released the Silly Symphony short “Three Little Pigs” in 1933, the Big Bad Wolf’s door-to-door peddler disguise relied on a heavily stereotyped Jewish caricature, complete with a Yiddish accent, a large fake nose, and a beard. By the late 1940s, growing awareness of offensive tropes and changing censorship standards prompted Disney to re-animate the scene. The Wolf was redrawn as a generic salesman, and his line was re-dubbed to the far less controversial “I’m working my way through college,” creating the version most audiences recognize today.

Tom Lehrer singing about the development of the nuclear bomb. When he wrote this, China had just tested their first nuclear device. This song is a nice time capsule into Cold War era anxieties.
