	Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The song was first released in 1963 on his LP "My Son, the Nut", and was entirely rewritten for a performance in 1964 on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show.
		While the words are in the form of a letter, narrating a summer camp experience that alternates between horrifying for the child, and horrifying to the parents, the tune is the sprightly "Dance of the Hours" by Ponchielli, as seen dramatized with dancing ostriches, hippos, elephants and crocodiles in Walt Disney's 1940 classic Fantasia.
		The contrast between Sherman's everyman voice, the banal choice of topic, the hilarious imagined situations, and the dignified classical music has kept the tune alive in memory even now, over 40 years later.

	VH1.com : Allan Sherman : Biography
		Arguably the most successful musical humorist in pop history, song parodist Allan Sherman was born Allan Copelon in Chicago on November 30, 1924.
		To the shock of the recording industry, radio quickly picked up on the album despite Sherman's obscurity as a performer; according to legend, even President John F. Kennedy was spotted in a hotel lobby singing the cut "Sarah Jackman" (a parody of "Frere Jacques"), further boosting the record's popularity.
		Nonetheless, Sherman remained the unquestioned king of the parody hit, and in late 1962 he returned with a follow-up, My Son, the Celebrity, which, like its predecessor, reached the number one spot.

	Allan Sherman Discography
		Born Allan Copelon in Chicago on November 30, 1924, the man who would later be known as Allan Sherman endured a rocky childhood.
		His mother (whose maiden name of Sherman he later assumed) was a "flapper" who was perpetually moving from city to city, occasionally parking young Allan with other relatives for months at a time while she tried to set up her life in some new town.
		Sherman later said he wrote the first record in three weeks, but some of the tunes appear to have been ones he'd performed at parties for years.

		In the hands of a Thurber, a Perelman, or Allan Sherman, a pun may be funny as all hell.
		Allan Sherman, unlike some prominent and extroverted entertainers, is like a certain comic strip hero in that he is, by day, a mild-mannered scrivener and TV producer, whereas by night he becomes Supercomic, able to convulse tall audiences with a single joke.
		Sherman’s lamp has two lights, his eye and his ear, that find the real valuables under the crags.

	Playbill News: ON THE RECORD: Broadway's Jersey Boys and Allan Sherman's "My Son, The Box"
		Sherman's claim to fame, at least until 1962, was the TV game show "I've Got a Secret," which he co-created in 1952.
		Sherman was a mega-star, setting records at Carnegie Hall, the Hollywood Bowl and Tanglewood, and filling in for a week as vacation replacement for Johnny Carson on "The Tonight Show." But the one joke soon wore thin.
		Sherman lost his recording contract with Warner Bros. in 1966, and he was all but washed up.

	Allan Sherman (1924-1973)
		Allan Sherman was born Allan Copelon in Chicago on November 30, 1924.
		Sherman's success was immediate, with numerous appearances on major USA television programs and a headlining concert at Carnegie Hall.
		Looking back at the parody lyrics of Allan Sherman, I can see now that they were the TV age equivalent of songs from theatrical revues in their wit, cleverness and allusions to then current and recent fads and phenomena.

		Sherman was enlisted to sing Sue Me in a duet with Debbie Reynolds, and he does a nice job of it.
		He didn't get the job in the road company so it was probably quite satisfying for him to later be cast — in one of the leads, no less — among the all-star cast on this record.

		Sherman would also sometimes parody popular lyrical songs of the day, for example his rendition of "Downtown" (the original was sung by Petula Clark), which is included in this collection.
		Sherman is without equal in his parodies -- they are hilarious without being mean-spirited or "edgy," and I don't think any other artist has been able to accomplish this--in fact he comes across as a really nice guy.
		Sherman prided himself on polished arrangements, partly to compensate for what he considered to a bad singing voice -- but his voice is great for these songs, he projects a comedian's timing and punch.

		For example, "Crazy Downtown" inverts the premise of Petula Clark's soaring original by taking on the hysterical voice of Petula's parents, worried sick about what their daughter is getting up to in a dangerous part of town during the wee hours of the morning.
		Beyond his reliance on generation gaps and Jewish humor, Sherman was a genuinely clever songwriter who was able to wring laughs from the most unexpected juxtapositions.
		Allan Sherman may well be the least musical person ever to headline at Carnegie Hall.

		So begin the lyrics that have been cracking up listeners since 1963, when songwriters Allan Sherman and Lou Busch borrowed the music of Ponchielli's "Dance of the Hours" to create the funniest camp song ever heard.
		On a rainy first day, a young camper writes home in the hope that his "Muddah" and "Faddah" will let him leave the dreaded Camp Granada.
		Jack E. Davis's exuberant and quirky watercolors are the perfect accompaniment to Sherman and Busch's tongue-in-cheek humor.

	liz_marcs: Some words about grammar from my son the nut, Allan Sherman.
		When I was about 6 or so, I discovered My Son the Nut by Allan Sherman in my Uncle Tom's record collection.
		Admittedly, I was attracted to the cover because he was a dead-ringer for my Uncle Tom (albeit heavier) and I did, in fact, think my Uncle Tom made the record.
		But think about this: People on every single continent, hell, maybe even people in almost every country in the world, can read the lyrics and understand exactly what Allan Sherman is saying.
