Peter and the Commissar is a 1964 musical comedy album by Allan Sherman, recorded live with Arthur Fiedler conducting the Boston Pops Orchestra and five guest jazz musicians. The title track pokes fun at communism in the Soviet Union, and is a spoof of Peter and the Wolf by Sergei Prokofiev, with original spoken rhymed verse by Sherman.
