I was listening to XM 51 Laugh USA (Clean comedy channel), They were playing "Al and Yetta" One of Allan Sherman's comedy songs..I hadnt heard it before but it was about the ultimate couch potato couple of the 1960's (Probably 62-63)..below is a link to the lyrics..very funny...sung to the tune of "alouetta"

There is a brief Biography of Sherman, who created and produced "I've Got a Secret" For Goodson-Todman..scroll down for the song lyrics..

I have been an Allan Sherman fan for 25 years now, since I was about 10 years old and heard "Harvey and Sheila" at summer camp one year.

A must have for any true fan, expensive, but remastered and well worth it (and no, I don't receive any royalties for this one):

I purchased this a couple of weeks ago and haven't been able to stop listening to it. A wonderful voice of parody on whose shoulders stand today's Weird Al and Bob Rivers.

(oh, and CrankyYankee, I laughed so damn hard when seeing the French Horns line at the bottom of your post!)

Thanks for getting this on-topic, Yankee. I believe his official title on "Secret" was Associate Producer.

Trivia: Sherman (along with such unlikely people as Woody Allen and Merv Griffin) was one of the hosts of "Hippodrome", which was the UK-filmed summer replacement for Red Skelton on CBS in the summer of 1966.<P ID="signature">______________
