Anything by Allan Sherman. A comedic genius we lost way to early in his career.

I'm fourteen and Allan Sherman is one of the funniest people I have ever heard. Thank you for posting this.

The king of song parody!!! This man was absolutely incredible!! Love ya Allan!!!!!

Truly underrated and sadly mostly forgotten. Funny, funny man.

His songs make you happy and and stay in your thoughts long after the song is over He was the best of the best! And that is why even now in july 2020 so many people from back in the day all the way up to today love what he did turning music into fun!

Enjoyed an Allan Sherman live concert back in the early 1960s, Thanks for the memories!!!

I haven't heard this before.... Love it. Thank you. I loved Allen Sherman so much as a kid... and God Bless KZfaq and all you members who keep his vinyl ear-candy treats alive for future generations.

Back in '63 my family and I visited relatives in the US. We returned home with 2 albums by Allan that were a skit on 'The First Family,' encouraged by our relatives who were great fans. It was so sad that within months of having such a wonderful time, we couldn't bear to listen to Allan's work. Am enjoying these songs so much now. What a talent!

always enjoyed Allen Sherman, when I was kid I would play his records over and over. very entertaining.

What a comedy genius. Thanks for the upload, Mr. Cohen.

I remember his soothing voice. He was great!

Mark, thanks for sharing. Growing up in the 60's when I was six I had memorized my mom's copy of My Son the Folk Singer. Allan was funny as 'Heck'.

I’ve been a fan of Allan Sherman for many years, and this is the first time I’ve ever heard this one of his. Hilarious!

Before there was weird Al there was Allen Sherman never take life serious it's not long enough.

another great song. It's so exciting to hear Allan Sherman Songs that I've never heard before.

Hilarious. The combination of his clever parodies and his bellowing non-singing voice is perfection

This is my new National Anthem.

I had his greatest hits CD as a kid- love him.

this was one i never heard tysm

I never heard this before! Thank you.

comedy does not get more perfect than Allan Sherman

Sing it Allen good song for the holidays.

According to Steve Allen, who suggested the parody idea to Allan Sherman, there was a coda, not heard here: If bluebirds were as fat as I, You'd see some big fat bluebirds in the sky.

I love Allan Sherman You went the wrong way old King Louie is a classic

love for Allan Sherman. halarious man for his time.

Me too!!! I know all the rest by heart. so fun to hear new stuff.

KIND OF FUNNY, I LIKE IT! THANKS FOR SHARING! R.K. 3/15/2021.

I was 9 years old the first time I heard Mr. Sherman. It was Hello mother, hello father. I thought he was such fun.

Weight Watchers should adopt this song for its new campaign and I mean it. SMF

Given the cause of his untimely demise, it's hard not to get a little sad hearing this one.

So very sad ..... Tears ......

😂 love it

A brilliant comic. I remember when Americans could laugh at themselves without worry of being cancelled.

the man was a true genius

Funny then, still funny now 2019

The thing is, I went from listening to Allan Sherman albums in my living room, to hearing my first Weird Al Yankovic song in only about three years. It took at least five more years before I felt Al was better than Allan.

Great very hilarious parody

Wonderful voice so funny

Funny "food" stuff!

Wife: I am too fat,tomorrow I join WW!!!! Husband: I don’t know you!!!!!

So funny.

Wow. I have read and listened to everything imaginable from my childhood hero, Allen Sherman. I have never heard this version of Overweight People so thanks for sharing. I am disappointed that you did not interview Steve Zolotow for your book. He spent much time with Mr Sherman and certainly could have offered more insight and anecdote that his sister. Strange decision on your part, still I am happy to have read the book.

OMG …I have not heard this song ever … where did you get this song?

But somehow, whenever I look at the title, no matter how many times I've heard this tune, I hear in my head a filk on Gordon Lightfoot's "Rainy Day People" …

Okey-dokey.

Kinda makes the most famous song in the whole movie a joke out of the whole "Pay no attention to the man behind the Iron Curtain!!" the least intimidating thing said in the 2016-2020 portion of the movie, doesn't it?

HOWARD COSELL'S FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME.

He also played Hail To Thee Fat Person. Very funny man

Cute.😄

Funny!

genius

Is that the Boulder, Colorado Central Park bandshell?

Somewhere over the rainbow there's a pie.

Fat Vinnie’s favorite song!!!!!!!!

ARLENE LEW WOULD HAVE ENJOYED THIS ONE AND I MEAN IT!!!!!

Cat in the Hat!

I'm not overweight anymore - thanks to type 2 diabetes. Not a course I'd recommend to lose weight 😢

There's a joke about Brudda Iz in here somewhere.

wow, that audience is easy to please
