Editing Danny Kaye (section)

===Imitations===
Kaye was sufficiently popular to inspire imitations:
* The 1946 [[Warner Bros.]] cartoon ''[[Book Revue (film)|Book Revue]]'' had a sequence with [[Daffy Duck]] wearing a blond wig and impersonating Kaye.<ref>{{cite book| last=Barrier| first=Michael| url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zDJXnzMh7bkC&pg=PA463| title=Hollywood Cartoons: American Animation in Its Golden Age| year=2003| page=463| orig-year=1999| publisher=[[Oxford University Press]]| via=[[Google Books]]| isbn=978-0-1951-6729-0| access-date=September 13, 2016}}</ref>
* Satirical songwriter [[Tom Lehrer]]'s 1953 song "[[Lobachevsky (song)|Lobachevsky]]" was based on a number that Kaye had done, about the Russian director [[Constantin Stanislavski]], with the affected Russian accent. Lehrer mentioned Kaye in an opening monologue, citing him as an "idol since childbirth".<ref>{{cite web| last=Lehrer| first=Tom| title=Lobachevsky Lyrics| website=[[Metrolyrics]]| url=http://www.metrolyrics.com/lobachevsky-lyrics-tom-lehrer.html| access-date=March 17, 2018| archive-date=March 18, 2018| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180318120423/http://www.metrolyrics.com/lobachevsky-lyrics-tom-lehrer.html| url-status=unfit}}</ref>
* [[Superman]] creators [[Jerry Siegel]] and [[Joe Shuster]] fashioned a short-lived superhero title, ''[[Funnyman (comics)|Funnyman]]'', taking inspiration from Kaye's persona.
