There's kind of a neat back story to Allan Sherman. The guy largely paved the way for entertainers like Weird Al Yankovic by introducing parody as an actual form of musical appreciation. Over the course of his life, he offended almost all the biggest names in music and got sued so often that I suspect he was on a first name basis with judges. John F. Kennedy was apparently caught singing this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpzLcFBv5zA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpzLcFBv5zA It's interesting to think what music and comedy would be like today without Allan Sherman. He was one hell of an innovator. Edit - "How's your nephew Seymour? Seymour joined the peace corps. He's nice too." I love this stuff...:)
