My Son, the Greatest: The Best of Allan Sherman [CD]

My Son, the Greatest: The Best of Allan Sherman [CD] (1988) more music like this

by Allan Sherman

The bad news is that Allan Sherman hasn't received the credit and praise he deserves. The good news is that his gifts and genius are manifest in abundance on this best of package. The word-playing godfather of the modern parody, Sherman's songs are definitely rooted in his Jewish culture. However, his humanity is so strong and universal that ...

Rhino's stream of Dr. Demento compilations continues with The Very Best of Dr. Demento, which basically hauls out the Demento standards -- Barnes & Barnes' "Fish Heads," Allan Sherman's "Hello Mudduh, Hello Fadduh!

My Son, the Box

My Son, the Box (2005) more music like this

by Allan Sherman

Between the fall of 1962 and the end of 1963, Allan Sherman was perhaps the most popular comedian in America, and along with Bob Newhart he was one of the first to rise to fame through the medium of the long-playing record album. Sherman's gimmick was his gift for taking familiar melodies -- folk songs, old standards, hits of the day -- and ...

Christmas Comedy Classics, Vol. 2

Christmas Comedy Classics, Vol. 2 (1998) more music like this

by Various Artists

To some listeners, Christmas novelty singles like "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" are intolerable tripe; to others, they're joyous reminders of holiday hilarity. Either way, Christmas Comedy Classics is an imperfect collection of those novelty singles, lacking some obvious choices and including others. There are enough hits to make it ...

My Son, The Folk Singer (1962) more music like this

by Allan Sherman

At his best, Allan Sherman was as perceptive an observer of the American Jewish experience as Philip Roth or Saul Bellow, and when he was on a roll he was a lot funnier than either, and that's certainly the case with 1962's My Son, the Folk Singer, Sherman's first album and the record that made him an overnight success, selling over a million ...

My Son, The Celebrity (1963) more music like this

by Allan Sherman

Allan Sherman's first album, My Son, the Folk Singer, was an unexpected smash hit upon its release in the fall of 1962, and Sherman wasted no time crafting a follow-up, with My Son, the Celebrity rushed into stores less than three months later. While it follows the pattern of Sherman's first album quite closely -- a handful of familiar tunes ...

All the 60's is a three-CD box set assembled by the Strategic Marketing division of the Australian branch of major label Warner, consisting of 45 tracks performed by 32 different American recording artists.

Allan Sherman -- Live!!! (Hoping You Are the Same) (1966) more music like this

by Allan Sherman

Released in 1966, Allan Sherman -- Live!!! (Hoping You Are the Same) turned out to be the comedian and musical satirist's penultimate project during a five-year (1962-1967) run on Warner Bros. Records. We find our hero on-stage at the Nugget Casino Resort in Sparks, NV, in the spring of 1966. The platter is configured to represent a typical ...

My Son, the Nut

My Son, the Nut (1963) more music like this

by Allan Sherman

Allan Sherman began moving cautiously away from the explicitly Jewish humor of his debut album on its follow-up, My Son, the Celebrity, and he all but abandoned it for his third long-player, 1963's My Son, the Nut. However, if Sherman was less eager to poke fun at Jewish-American culture as he grew more popular, his need to kvetch about the ...

Allan in Wonderland

Allan in Wonderland (1964) more music like this

by Allan Sherman

Allan Sherman's first three albums were so consistently strong that many folks wondered when or if the funnyman would ever run out of steam, and while 1964's Allan in Wonderland was hardly an artistic disaster, it certainly indicated that he'd finally peaked (while Sherman's first three albums were all million-sellers, Allan in Wonderland ...
