Critical reception
[edit]Trouser Press called the album "a well-informed piece of work, not simply a cheap parody."[4] The New York Times wrote that the band "specializes in satire ... When People Were Shorter isn't smug; this group's love of bad taste seemed honest and heartfelt."[5]
Track listing
[edit]All lyrics are written by Ira Gershwin and DuBose Heyward; all music is composed by George Gershwin

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
