Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh (Camp Granada Song) with Lyrics Sing-Along, Allan Sherman, 1963, updated

[@kristinludlowUX]

My dad played this all the time when we were growing up. He just passed at 85. This brings back memories.

[@fromthegamethrone]

I'm sorry to hear it man, my condolences. My brother passed in April this year, 33 years old :( I'm 36. He wasn't supposed to die before me, mom and dad. My parents played this song in the car when we were kids and man, we laughed - we didn't understand it, we just liked the way he spoke. Then as an adult I'm listening now and it asks "How's my precious little brother" ... shit hits hard man. Who'd have thought such a funny and light hearted song could bring a tear to my eye. Good sir, I hope you find peace in the lessons and life your father gave you.

[@biblebadcopycatofcuneiform8210]

Nope...she isn't resting in peace. Her soul is doing other things. Christianity is ignorant. People don't "pass away"..we croak. The Body ends, but the Soul continue on to do many other things. If you mean the Bible God to bless her, you really should read the Bible completely, word for word, page by page. You wouldn't ask that of that book character if you do. Obviously, I have...read the the book that way. Honestly.

[@biblebadcopycatofcuneiform8210]

@@Yur_Commentator "When did I ever imply that I like reading books?" Ever? Maybe some time in one of your previous lives? "There’s a thing called PDF." Yeah, ehhh...Books are better. I like both. "I’m Wiccan I don’t read the Bible cuz it goes against my religious beliefs I moved away from Christianity for a lot of reasons." I was a hard-core Christian, look at my Avatar, and I know the Bible very well..I read it completely several times. I can go toe-to-toe if needed with them. Because I read it completely, I switched to Pagan. The Bible doesn't go against any "Beliefs" of Pagan or Wiccan, it uses and copies from Pagan/Wicca. You know who Mithra is, right? Where do you think the idea of Jesus/Yeshua comes from? Someone didn't help you very well in your switch from Christian to Wicca. Sad face. I left Christianity because I noticed all of the flaws, errors, contradictions. I also peered deeply into the Christian past. I've read the correct translations of Cuneiform, and from Cuneiform You...Will..Find..the deepest Pagan/Wicca roots. "A. It’s no one’s business and B. I find talking about churchy things to be uncomfortable. But otherwise thanks for the comment." If "Churchy" stuff is uncomforable, dear one, then you haven't arrived at confidence in what you Know beyond beliefs. From someone that _knows_ what that means. Wink. It's not anyone's business, well, true enough if you're not ready. I'm very confident, and I'll talk Church stuff if someone cares enough to challenge me. When you're ready, if you choose to become ready, you will be able to also. Don't challenge others until you're ready. To be ready is to challenge yourself first. Love without conditions, is something the Gods and Goddesses do, not conditional love..which is what's in the Bible. Blessed Be, because you are. If you don't reply again, be WELL. Happy Yuletide (perverted into Christmas), Samhain (perverted into Halloween), Beltane..and so on. Warm smile.

Sherman was a tv producer whose schtick was to take classical or pop standards and create funny lyrics for them. He cracked up enough people that he was encouraged to perform at parties and finally on records. This was the song that made him a national sensation. My other favorites were "Crazy Downtown" "Harvey and Sheila" and "One Hippopatomi". He died at age 48 from complications with obesity.

I was 10 when this came out, in 1963 my folks had the album. I also was sent to summer camp as a kid. The camp was in-town, about 30 minutes from our house in the suburbs. The camp was also in a suburb , but the area that wasn't developed yet, so it seemed like it was out in the wilderness, at least to my 10 year old self. It was a day camp, but there were 5 weekends through out the summer, where we stayed overnight. The camp provided horrible old fashioned folding cots. Basically canvas slings, on a folding wooden frame with legs beneath. We didn't even sleep outdoors,....but in the camp buildings, where a clean lavatory was a few steps away. But to a 10 year old, with zero camping experience, it was challenging. I had never slept away from my home, with other boys. I did enjoy the food we cooked over a campfire, and we did get into some night time hijinks,....the counselors told scary stories around the campfire. We learned classic camp songs, and the whole group of us sang them. We made fun stuff by gluing clean popsicle sticks together with Elmer's white glue,.....like a bird house, a small lamp shade, we wove vinyl lacing to make lanyards. Typically, I hated having to go to it all summer long, but by the time it was over,.....I didn't want to leave. There was a swimming pool, hiking trails, a miniature golf range, a horse shoe throwing area, archery, softball, volleyball, places to play tag and group player activities. I attended it for 3 Summers. It was just for boys, and I didn't know any of the other kids, they weren't from my suburb. But I made new friends, & some them remained my friends through my years in junior high school. I lost touch with them by time I went off to high school. When I was 13, I attended a Summer camp for creative kids. It was a Music, Arts and Crafts camp. By that period of time, I had already begun to make Art.

Pairing these lyrics with the music from "Dance of the Hours" by Amilcare Ponchielli was absolutely brilliant. Of course, it was a time when people appreciated classical music more, so would have known the source material. It says so much that such music is listened to so much less nowadays - and many don't even know who Allan Sherman even was.

This album was released when I was five years old. I still have my original copy.

[@lynettepalecek3141]

Lucky you.

[@sharoncrist7320]

I remember when I was young we used to sing this. I also remember having his record albums

[@zachbocchino5501]

Apparently one of my greatest high school mates family was going to buy the actual camp that the song is based off of. I was told that the writer who my friend doesn't know is Allen Sherman went to the camp that the song is about but it wasn't called Camp granada. It was just named that after the song, but turns out that the place might be haunted because my friend showed me a picture he took of a room in one of the bunks. In that picture in the corner of the room you can see a dark area and what looks like to be a figure of some sort squatting in the corner. He said he did not see it until his girlfriend spotted it out in the picture. I saw the picture and yeah it gives me chills. The picture itself haunts my friend because he saw nothing when he was there in person but it shows up in the picture.

That was hilarious. I've known the beginning lines forever but just now listened to the whole thing for the first time. True comedy gold. I love it!

[@thomasquinnsr4046]

Every time I see Hello Mudah, Hello Fadda, I put it on my phone!!! Love it so much!!!

[@beebs4283]

great now i’m burdened with knowing that if my father ever finds this video i will never know peace

[@evilborg]

lol I sang this as a kid!!! Those were much better days.

[@terrypetersen2970]

In highschool I was with a group of kids and we would go out every other weekend and collect all sorts of samples from the different rivers in my state. Twice a year we would camp out over the weekend. We would drive the teachers nuts singing this on the bus on those two trips. Yeah we were nerds but we had a lot of fun.

Golden moments of television history...!! Hope the later generations can appreciate and hold on to all these historical moments of humanity!!

[@m444ss]

My elementary school teacher had this on an LP comedy album...she'd play it for us once or twice each year. Good times!

[@lindanadeau1884]

This never gets old. Love it!

[@arthurb6882]

what is funny about this? it seems pretty old to me lol what is the joke, that the kid isn't having a good time at camp? that he's singing it? maybe it's referencing something I don't get

[@lisamartz2258]

My son is leaving for camp tomorrow. It's his first time away from home for a week. This song keeps playing in my head.

[@oliviatorres8131]

Thanks for posting this. Good.

[@arethawhite3712]

Hilarious song from back in the day 👍, those lyrics are so funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 LOL!!!! Thanks for sharing this 👍💖 be blessed and safe 🙏.

[@angelsherrero5280]

I am, most definitely, watching this while I think of our dog that we’ve put in kennels for a week,while we’re away, and visited the morning of our departure. He looked and cried as if he were singing this song to us 😩🦮

[@allanshermanshow]

Dance of the Hours from the opera La Gioconda

[@susanbazinet9664]

Truly a blast from the past and a really good one. Really clever lyrics.

[@susanbazinet9664]

Moo

[@emilyphippen8742]

I still have this album. I love it

[@littlecorgi]

Oh, I remember this! So good to hear the original version again!

[@WakandaBabe]

This song was huge when it came out. I remember hearing it everywhere. It won a Grammy too.

[@paulamiles9559]

I remember Alan Sherman on TV when I was very small. I cant believe how much of this I remember. Mudda Fadda kindly disregard this lettah.

[@darthmarth333]

Who else got this in they’re feed for no apparent reason

[@juliuscaesar5397]

Me

[@Sunokanse]

Me too

[@nightcrawler7498]

Yep

[@echothegecko5248]

Me

[@TheGodsrighthandman]

What's rather odd is that I was thinking about this just last week. I didn't mention it or search for it or anything. Google/KZbin is some REALLY scary shit sometimes . . .

[@KAF128]

I'm afraid this song has been with me since way before the Simpsons - seems it's the same age as me - LOL! Still love it, from my childhood and I'm now almost word perfect ! Thanks for the upload !

[@OfficerLarryNMSE]

I remember when this song came out and was played on the radio...

[@quillerpen]

I remember hearing this years (no make that decades) ago on the radio, but never remembered enough to be able to look it up. Delighted to have finally found it 9thanks to a comment on Facebook).

[@neighborm]

So many kids who grew up in NYC at this time had experiences with summer camp or something similar. Without air conditioning, many New Yorkers headed for the mountains during the summer. Sherman's song condenses the many adventures of summer camp - only slightly exaggerated. The muddah fadduh mimics those New York accents. Brings back many memories to this old guy.

[@marlenaperry7693]

I love this song .. Keep safe to all..

[@babyface5035]

I have loved this since I was a kid

[@donnamongiardo9356]

I totally remember this song and the words! I LOVE IT!!! Brings back lots of memories and still makes me laugh!!

[@Thenogomogo-zo3un]

Thank you for the marvellous upload. Been wanting to find this song for years!

[@ZenFox0]

Somehow this song lives in my consciousness even though this came out long before I was born, and I'd never heard of Allan Sherman. It's good to see where it originated, thank you.
