One of the most brilliant entertainers from my generation. Sadly, I never got to see Mr Sherman live.

Before Weird Al, there was Allan Sherman. Hello Mudda

Weird Al is a huge Allan Sherman fan. Check out his first album cover.

Never heard this before. Allan kept trying, but the British invasion which drove the Beatles into the charts drove his novelty songs out. Yet Crazy Downtown was pretty good.

"My daughter needs a new phonograph/she wore out all the needles/Besides, I broke the old one in half/I hate the Beatles!"

Too good of a song. Thanks.

Great video of Mr. Sherman!!! Thank you so much!

That first verse is just genius, especially compared to the original Ringo😂

Love this guy

Always so obsessed with their hair.

I think they did a slightly changed version for the movie “Rango”

That was actually a changed mix version of the old 70s Django themes

Funny, since "Rango" and Sherman as well as The Beatles were '60s!

I once had my hair cut at the Statten Island Ferry barber shop. You don't want to piss off a BAD barber.

I got a bad haircut from a barber who wasn't fluent in English. A lot of apologies but I looked like Larry Fine for a month.

This song was NOT included on "MY SON, THE BOX" I guess even a boxed set of complete works is never complete when the artist has soooo much material.

Parody of Lorne Greene's hit "Ringo"-- I remember watching this TV special when I was a kid...

YES !

This is funny 😄

Allan Sherman very funny

❤❤❤❤❤ 😊😊😊😊 that song so funny

This funny as ever

It's too bad they cut off the punch line at the end of the song.

👍👏😆

The original weird al

The joke is that Lorne Greene had just performed Ringo,in the exact costume and set,

The tune sounds very close to P.D.Q. Bach's Classical Rap. Did Sherman and PDQ both use an already known tune or did one get it from the other?

Damn I never knew this existed.

The Beat Farmers did a parody of this. Never knew it wasn't originally by them.

😆 🤣 😂

Ringo still rocking. Allan's days and genre died 40 years ago. Ringo wins Haters dead for decades

Better than the original by Lorne Greene.
