I am laughing so hard i am in tears. I can picture the scene now. Me at 7 years old in my parents livingroom while my dad puts on a Reel To Reel Tape of no less than 2 hours worth of Allan Sheman. I could sit there for hours (and often did) laughing then as I am laughing now. Thanks you for keeping humor like this alive in the digital age.......

[@louswire]

this is making my ears grin!... haven't heard this in ages, I grew up listening to this...

[@MuzzikLvr]

Really enjoyed that. Listening to Allan Sherman records was a big, big part of my childhood.

[@Mynamesalexa]

I've had this LP since childhood .

[@lancechamplain]

Boy this brings back a lot of memories. Allan Sherman was the best.

[@katherineg9396]

I thought we had all the albums when I was a kid but I didn't hear this until a few years ago. Great video! Thank you.

[@54rein]

Very good. A Sherman is still one of my all time heroes! We need more of this.

[@strooomon]

Allan Sherman remains the funniest and cleverest man, I have ever heard. I never thought the window is the car window, but I would not put it past him.

[@amazingarthur]

Wish there were more brilliant comedy minds like Alan...

[@oybay]

Thanks. It must be 30 years since I heard this!

[@Bodie007]

This is just great fun. One of the best of this sort that I have seen. Just a lot of fun.

[@cessnaace]

Rated 5 stars and favored. Funny, funny guy. STAY AWESOME!

[@InsomniacGirl]

This is a great video, thank you! Love Allan Sherman, brings back great childhood memories :-)

[@cosmickate3]

All I wanted was the song! But the video with it (already knowing the song) was fun ready to happen! Thanks for refreshing some great material~

[@NoMoreMrNiceGuyNYC]

Thank you for posting. I had this album as a kid, and didn't realize Sherman was parodying existing songs -- I heard these before I ever heard the originals. He has given me hours and hours of pleasure. I still sing some of them in my head....

[@ethermeoru]

GREAT JOB!!! I had this album as a kid and have missed Allen Sherman for years.. Thank you!

[@NYCity99]

Yet another well done video. Thanks for sharing all of these. Peace.

[@MrTrashcan1]

Excellent video! I know how much work it took to synchronize the photos with the music and I congratulate you for this wonderful production.

[@cputb1]

Thanks for kind comment. Yeah, it took awhile, but was fun. Thanks again.

[@beautyjudge]

no problem; it was put together very creatively and should have 1,000,000+ views----wish I knew how to get it on the "featured" page

[@cputb1]

Strangest one I could think of, hahaha. Thanks for dropping by Regplex!

[@cputb1]

Wow! You just made my day beautyjudge!!! Thank you. Very kind of you.

[@cputb1]

Thanks askzombiebob! It's always nice to hear from the un-dead.

[@robertbortolameotti9578]

'Eff'ing Funny !!! Especially the cameo appearance by Sid 'Captain Spaulding' Haig !!!

[@cputb1]

Hahaha. Thanks man, I appreciate you checking 'em out.

[@bluecrab2u]

Have always liked this Sherman tune since it first was released...but really, terrific job on the vid!

[@cputb1]

Thanks Taters. Awfully kind comment, and it means a lot to me. You made my day! These still shot productions aren't real video productions, like I see you and others skillfully accomplish. But I do try to squeeze as much as I can out of 'em, hahaha. Thanks again!

[@SweetJoyBG]

I have to agree,this was funny and entertaining. Thank you so much for making it. You've really done him justice. I've loved this guy since I was a little girl and talent like his is rare and far between. For a man who wasn't even Jewish, he was incredible. I believe he was Italian.

[@ZoeToots]

I'm impressed. You put a lot into this video! Great video!

[@hallbe]

Wow CP! That was the boss! You have an amazing nac for finding my childhood memories!! I'm smelling a collab very soon!

[@teenonator]

God, I always loved this. This & the "Shtreets Ov Myammy"

[@applecineman]

Nice job CP. I like your style!

[@regplex]

that is a strange motel!!:D thx for the reference! great job man! that looks like alot of work!

[@doktortelevision]

Nice job. Very nice.

[@dookdookdook1]

Wonderful video.

[@DwarfWife]

*chuckles* Allan Sherman is awesome.

[@applecineman]

LOL CP. Maybe a little bit of both (and I envy you for that) but keep 'em comin'!

[@cputb1]

Thanks. I really appreciate that!

[@soapbxprod]

Brilliant Video! Allan Sherman is GOD....

[@noncorporatenews]

Nice video, great song! I put this on my facebook page because there aren't many Chanukah songs!

[@cputb1]

Thanks!

[@jaredcicon]

Hey CP, AS usual I love what you do at the editors desk, but more than that, I am a little jealous. When you create your videos you pull whatever images you need from the internet or other places, but very regularly you use video/stills from your own history, and it is those images that set your projects apart. That shot of the two-tone red&white BelAir (I think) tooling down the road with the mountains in the backbround is such priceless footage. Wish my dad had had such resources/foresight.

[@wixomwizard]

The Drapes Of Roth is another hilarious classic. Now, Sherman was FUNNY!!!

[@beautyjudge]

this is great!

[@KirkHouston]

Loved it!!!!!

[@ponkkaa]

I grew up listening to this guy. Not being Jewish I, misunderstood a lot. But laughter transcends all boundaries. Or some sh&t like that. Funny vid.

[@HomesteadSoapCo]

Why have I not seen this yet? I just saw this! Great! How have you been?

[@cputb1]

Thank you Insomniac Girl!

[@cputb1]

I've got a style? Alright!!! Or is that code for... "You've got too much time on your hands?" Hahaha, thanks applecineman!

[@cputb1]

Thanks.

[@cputb1]

Thanks for stopping frkaz911. I've been thinking about doing another A.S. song. My Zelda would be a good one.

[@cputb1]

Thanks for checking it out, and leaving a comment cessnaace! I appreciate it.

[@crunchyfrog0001]

EXCELLENT. Graphics match up (pretty much) with my childhood imagination of the song. Except for the Cohen that you put in. No Cohen looks like that!

[@cputb1]

@bluecrab2u - WoW thanks! Very kind of you! Thanks for dropping by.

[@cputb1]

Wow, thanks for the kind comment. Hmm, I have been in a creative slump lately. Maybe I should re-visit that PR track and see if it could be worked into something. Thanks again!

[@cputb1]

Thanks

[@cputb1]

Thanks a lot for watching and commenting on the Alan Sherman bits.

[@vernots]

Sherman's best singing effort.

[@johnplumley5586]

@cputb1- I grew up listening to Allen Sherman and always thought the same thing you did but now I have a different perspective on that part of the song. I think hes saying that his mother was so overprotective of him that she traveled on the road with him the whole time. So when the car pulls up to the home, she leans out the window of the car and hollers to his wife and kids or whoever, "here we are" I don't know, just a thought, but thanks for posting the song!

[@shulamit1991]

Wunerful, wunerful, wunerfu! I looked and looked, and can't find "Westchester Hadassah", Allan's parody of "Winchester Cathedral" by the New Vaudeville Band. My dad used to play the NVB when I was in grade school. It's funny I'm thinking about Allan's parody today, 'cause I'm actually thinking of joining Hadassah! Got to do some more mitzvot and maybe make some gal pals!

[@superheropow1]

Nicely done :)

[@cputb1]

@sammislawa - Thanks for the comment! It's always nice to have a true intellectual so elegantly chime in with an astute an observation.

[@cputb1]

Yea, I had a feeling there was a catch, hahaha!

[@NYCity99]

You're welcome. Our usual stalking method is to watch many more of your videos and comment on those also. :)

[@cputb1]

@Bodie007 - That's what I was going for. A bit of fun! Thanks for dropping by, and the comment!

[@cputb1]

By all means, stalk away! hahaha. I also plan on doing some skulking around in your channel's portfolio when I get a chance. Take care -CP-

[@bradlibunlimited]

This rocks!

[@Makenshi3]

@RadicalNotion it's also in the episode of Family Guy where Peter goes to Ireland to see his real father. But Sherman came before either-- and the drinking song, though I don't know the actual name, came before all of them

[@Mudman1947]

Allan Sherman....wow...does this bring back memories! Any chance you remember his parody of ''Casey Jones"....lines like..."J.C. Cohen...what a fine conductor..."?

[@cputb1]

@johnplumley - How did his ma’ get in the car? I always took it as he is a traveling salesman, out on the road. And when the season ends, he comes home. And Ma’ is there to greet him, with all the family, waiting in anticipation of, and to celebrate his return. And the humor is that Ma’ is so eager to see him, she leans out the window (of the home the he grew up in, and spent his whole life in), to say… Here we are!

[@bigred997]

Never apologize for letting me know of your latest Sherman arrangement. You are (almost) as brilliant as good old Alan. This is wittier than most of the crap you see on Tv.

[@cputb1]

Yes he is. Hey, thanks for dropping by DwarfWife!

[@MarionLeedsCarroll]

This is based on ‪Bing Crosby's Dear Old Donegal‬ - find it on KZbin!

[@cputb1]

Good names indeed. Thanks for the comment!

[@cputb1]

@gingernatorful - That was Chart Nestlefarb and family.

[@GoodOldGar]

Nice video. Such naches from you your parents must have.

[@cputb1]

Thanks man. Hey hallbe, now this vid is playing in High Quality. How did that happen? I've never had one play in HQ before. And I uploaded it the same way as I usually do. Do you know how one can get HQ playback on every upload? Boy, it really makes a difference. And my vids can use all the help they can get, hahaha!

[@cputb1]

Thank you 1kkyu.

[@cputb1]

Yes he was. Thanks for the comment.

[@cputb1]

Hey thanks a lot beautyjudge.

[@cputb1]

@bradlibunlimited - thanks for having look!

[@cputb1]

Thank you crunchyfrog0001. ( I blame Google for my poor Cohen search, hahaha)

[@cputb1]

Thanks for the comment 54rein! (I've got 2 other A.S. tributes posted if you want to have a look) Thanks again.

[@cputb1]

Mine too. Thanks for the comment.

[@cputb1]

I may have too much time on my hands, hahaha.

[@cputb1]

@ethermeoru - Thanks for dropping by!

[@johnplumley5586]

Love Allen Sherman but I have a question about the video. At the point in the song where it says "my ma leans out the window and she hollers, here we are" I always thought the joke, was that his mother was in the car with him. Let me know what you think.

[@cputb1]

Hahaha, Thanks man!

[@cputb1]

Hahaha, yea, that's a great one too! Thanks for the comment.

[@cputb1]

Yes he was!

[@cputb1]

hahaha Yep, it's an oldie but a goldie. Thanks for the comment louswire!

[@cputb1]

I'm just going by the lyrics. “When the season’s over, and my LONSEOME journey ends.” And, if mom was with him for 3 months on the road, why would she start to show him who all was in attendance at the homecoming? That would be the Hosts’ job. Mom is waiting, and has assembled a gathering. And is so anxious to see her son, she is waiting by the widow. And when seeing his car, being mom, hollers out the window “Here we are”. To be sure he can find his own boyhood home.

[@cputb1]

@cosmickate3 - Thanks for the kind comment!

[@user-hh5rn4jz6o]

interesting take, but my picture has always been the Jewish mother - always waiting for her son to come home - knowing when he is near. and the "we" of course is the extended family. the world "hollers" is key. this particular song is such a riot - going along with the music of "McNamara's Band - with all the Irish names. Sherman was a gift to those who love to laugh.

[@dougmontgomery1868]

This would be a real kick if Sherman could (and did) sign the song in an Irish accent!

[@cputb1]

I think it's just a case of having too much time on my hands, hahaha. Thanks for the comment AntaresInScorpius.

[@cputb1]

@wildjohn - Thank you!

[@beyonce734]

@Bodie007 can someone please put allen sherman 12 days of christmas thanks
