This one?

in a song title for Billie Holiday that puts one in mind of “Who’s on First?”—the strangely populated “Me, Myself and I.”

Jeez, DA, if you're going to mock the title, at least give us a link to the real version.

Irving Gordon's authorship of the skit is far from clear. Many people have claimed authorship.

He did, however, write "Delaware"

Not mocking! De La Soul is awesome.

"Who's on First" still plays regularly in the Hall of Fame Library--customers just have to push a button to start the video--and it's still funny after 5,000 listens.

Now, I wouldn't want to listen to it continuously throughout the day, but hearing it every once in awhile is still amusing. The timing of Abbott and Costello, along with their ability to keep constant track of the names, is nearly flawless. There is one point where Costello almost forgets the name of Abbott's character, named Mr. Broadhurst, but he recovers just in time. Remarkable.

To be clear, he wrote the lyrics for Prelude to a Kiss.

As long as Hu's not on short, you're ok.....

While "Who's on First" was funny, it really wasn't about baseball, unlike George Carlin's difference between football and baseball routine. However, if it's done right, riffing off Who's on First can be hilarous, even today.

There was a Kids in the Hall skit where they start off doing the bit but then Dave Foley says, "wait, I understand the confusion here" and then proceeds to explain the joke, much to the chagrin of Kevin McDonald who then calls him the "worst straight man ever."

De La Soul is awesome.

If you like that alternative hippy rap. Not I. Couldn't stand them or Tribe then and still can't. Although I can't stand anything other than underground now.

If Irving Gordon really did write "Who's on First" and "Unforgettable" he deserves to be much more famous than he is.
