I know I heard this on the radio a couple of times not long after the Lovin' Spoonful's song was a hit. That was in late 1966. Ironically, the Lovin' Spoonful was one of the few groups I knew of back then that had a Jewish member, Zal Yanofsky. (I've since learned that there were a lot of other Jewish singers and rock group members back then. Some had stage names that didn't sound Jewish. In the case of some others, I knew of the groups but didn't know the individual members' names then.)
Ironically, Zal Yanovsky, the Lovin' Spoonful's Jewish guitar player from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, ran a restaurant in Kingston, ON along with his wife called Chez Piggy. Both Zal and his wife have since passed away but his daughter Zoe runs the place now.
Thanks SO much, you wouldn't believe how long I've been looking for this song! I used to hear it on Dr. Demento, and haven't heard it since the mid `70's.
Anyway I could convince you to post the flipside? I think it was called "Shirley Klein." It too was a novelty tune, but wasn't a bad song on its own merits...if I recall correctly from the one time I heard it. :> Thanks.
There's a bit of stereo reverb on the CD, it would have easily been added to audio taken from vinyl. It sounds a little bit better than mono, but all the instruments and vocals are still in the center.
Very very good for it's time, but....remember here London, UK,we have the same problem,... north of Edgware you can't get a Salt Beef Sandwich!..Never mind, chips are a second best to latkes!
This song makes no sense! Noshville Katz serves both Milchig (Bagel and Cream Cheese) and Fleishig (i.e., Chicken Soup) together! I think I'll eat elsewhere next time I'm in Noshville
I'm sitting in Nashville right now as I type. Dunno if there is a Kosher deli here. I'd love to find it before I leave tomorrow and have a nice corned beef sandwich! Once you get past a certain longitude, you KNOW you're not in Brooklyn anymore because of the food!
Look in Belle Meade which is on Nashvilles outskirts. Surely there is 1 there and if there isn't 1 there now maybe there will be soon.

I came here because this track was featured on Jimmy Page's official website. Couldn't find it anywhere else on the Internet, not even in torrents)

I ate at Noshville in Nashville on Sunday, too. Great place. Even better than the song. The belly button piercing was fun, too.

If one is Jewish and living in the South, it's very hard to find Kosher Food. This song is a wonderful parity-everyone should be laughing.

Hmm, I don't have the 45, I had this track on a compilation CD called Hey Look What I Found Vol. 4. May have to look for that 45 now!!

I guess there's no chance this appears on that CD in stereo?!? I'm thinking the people who compiled that CD mastered it from vinyl??...
