Sherman's parody lyrics were written in collaboration with Lou Busch. A few of the Sherman/Busch songs are completely original creations, featuring original music as well as lyrics, rather than new lyrics applied to an existing melody. The Sherman/Busch originals-notably "Go to Sleep, Paul Revere," and "Peyton Place"-are delightful novelty songs, showing genuine melodic originality as well as deft lyrics. In My Son, The Nut, his pointed parodies of classical and popular tunes savaged summer camp ("Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh" to the tune of Ponchielli's "Dance of the Hours"), encroaching automation in the workforce ("Automation" to the tune of "Fascination"), space travel ("Eight Foot Two, Solid Blue" to "Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue"), the exodus to the suburbs, ("Here's to the Crabgrass" to the tune of "English Country Garden"), and his own bloated figure ( "Hail to Thee, Fat Person", which blames his obesity on the Marshall Plan). http://www.answers.com/topic/allan-sherman?cat=entertainment

Did Sylvia Froos record a parody on Allan's Sherman's first album?
Actually, it was BEFORE his first album -- WAY before. In 1951, a then totally unknown Allan Sherman wrote a parody of Frank Loesser's "A Bushel and a Peck" called "A Satchel and a Seck". He recorded it as a duet with Sylvia Froos, who he had previously written for. The record sold VERY few copies, but shortly after Sherman's #1 hit album in 1962, "A Satchel and a Seck" was re-released with about a dozen other songs by other singers in a album called "More Folk Songs by Allan Sherman and his Friends". This was an unauthorized album trying to exploit Sherman's sudden success. Here's a link to a free mp3 of "A Satchel and a Seck" >>> http://www.box.net/public/1nulajg75a
