Summary:
This collection gathers 19 of Sherman's humorous story-songs. The comic uses original lyrics and pre-existing tunes to poke fun at television shows and consumer items, to send-up the kids and generally riff on early and mid-'60s American pop culture. On tracks like "Pop Hates the Beatles" and "Crazy Downtown," his subject is the generation gap. "Al 'n Yetta" portrays a TV-dependent couple while "Lotsa Luck" describes the complicated hassles of dealing with faulty TVs and new-fangled tape recorders. Sherman assumed his audience had a little knowledge of history, too. On "Good Advice" and "You Went the Wrong Way, Old King Louie," he sings about inventors and French history, respectively. It's hard to imagine contemporary comedians working the historical beat. "One Hippopatami" is a delightfully goofy festival of wordplay that requires only a love of language and a tolerance for schmaltz. --Fred Cisterna

You'll laugh your kishkes out

Customer Rating:

I bought my first Allan Sherman record "My Son, the Folk Singer" in early 1964, passing up the opportunity to buy "She Loves You." While that may have been a bad choice for appreciating value (I'm sure that my brother's record is worth more), for pure entertainment, the Beatles take a back seat to Allan Sherman.

This record has most of his classics, but it is missing my personal favorite, "The Ballad of Harry Lewis." The line about finding him between roasted dacron and french-fried gabardine is priceless. So are Sherman's songs.

F-U-N-N-Y	Customer Rating:
Funny songs we thought we'd never find again. We could recall only some words, and now we have them all! A very welcomed Xmas gift! Speedy delivery.

The Great Allan Sherman	Customer Rating:
In the good old days of LP, I had all his records. This collection of his "BEST" is good, but does not include some of his greatest hits. At least by my taste. But then, any Allan Sherman is worth listening to.

Allan Sherman funny classic man	Customer Rating:
I have loved Allan since I was 10 years old. To most people I know as soon as you start singing Hello Mutter, Hello Father they join right in. His music may be old school but its just as fun now as it was then.

Fun but not perfect	Customer Rating:
Bought this on a day when I was thinking back to my childhood. Once I got it, it helped me remember how hit and miss his humor was. Some of it just takes you and forces major belly laughs while others just go on and on without any reaction. Overall, nothing like it made today and, while very dated, can still cause repeated laughter. Happy to own once again after so many years.
