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

I would say father, Weird Al is probably the king. Like how Elvis is the king of rock and roll, but Chuck Berry is the father, and I prefer Berry.

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!

The "First Family" albums were by Vaughan Meader. We had those too - also wonderful. But not Allan Sherman.

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!

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.

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.

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.
