Once a long time ago my wife (then girlfriend) and I did this for our High School talent show. It was a big hit! I think we did better than these guys. We were in costumes of people ready for bed at opposite sides of the stage with phones for props.
my generation has it the best and can't appreciate it. born in '89, I got all the best cartoons from the 90's, and all the cool things from before I was born are ALMOST gone, but I have the internet and all the old fans keep digging stuff like this up. fifty years from now, will it even matter that you can 'go back in time' with the internet? heck no. they'll have something better and take that for granted too.
It's been over fifty year now and hearing this again reminds me hearing my father roar with laughter at these parodies by Allan Sherman. Brings back childhood memories of the happy kind.
The Joys of Allan Sherman, a brief crooning light of Jewish American comedy. Allen, Rest in Peace. The World is a little brighter from the light-heartedness you so generously gave us.
I remember you and your "Catskillian" quintessential lyrics with a smile and a tear. Thanks Allan! What an amazing bar mitzvah!
You left our World a little better place than which you found it.
Your voices are so uncannily dead-on to the originals. Great job. I remember hearing this on the Dr. Demento TV special back in the early 90s. My parents taped it, and I nearly broke it, watching it so much. It was all downhill from there...
Thank you. That means a lot to me. I admire Sherman so much. It feels great to introduce new people to his songs, and to give older people (like me) the opportunity to reminisce. Thanks, Dave Brinnel

Hailey does a great job for a kid her age. Pretty good intonation and NY accent, as well.
