Allan Sherman - My Son, The Nut ( 1963)

Around 1963, Sherman is said to have theorized that in order to take his career to the next level, he had to get people to stop thinking of him just as a guy who did Jewish-themed material. There's barely a trace of it in his third album, which was turned into a best-seller largely on the strength of one song. Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh!, set to the tune of Dance of the Hours, was his biggest hit ever, and the number with which his name would forever be connected. The King Louie number is often cited by songwriters as the cleverest lyric on any of Sherman's records.

Allan Sherman: Beyond 'Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh' by Jesse Green.
NPR: All Things Considered, March 14, 2006

Popular music has a long tradition of ethnic humor. In the early 1960s, the tradition was being carried on by one particularly talented and funny man, Allan Sherman.
Sherman's song "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh! (A Letter from Camp)," a classic Jew-out-of-water song, propelled Sherman to the top of the charts. It was about the boy who didn't fit into the great American story of the woods, the lake, the poison ivy, the sports -- and the escape from parents. He didn't want to escape from them.
The musical humorist took folk songs and replaced their lyrics with satires of Jewish American life. In doing that, he offered a perfect snapshot of what it meant to assimilate. But as he released more albums, his songs began to suggest that he was uncomfortable with the role he had created for himself.
