Allan Sherman - Harvey and Sheila Could this be one of the greatest parodies of all time? Compare the beginning to Harry Belafonte's recording of Hava Nagila and you'll see that Sherman was inspired by the original Belafonte version. Hey, it's BETTER than the original IMO. I did the video myself. No big deal, but I hope you enjoy it. Tags: Allan Sherman parody spoof Hava Nagila |

Dan Bern - Black Tornado Dan can put his finger on the absurdities of life possibly better than anyone, but he's been flying under everybody's radar for a long time. Recorded in Germany, Spring 2007, I think. Tags: Singer Songwriter Folk Dylan Bernstein Unplugged |

Hanukkah in Santa Monica by Tom Lehrer Whoever originally put this video together did a great job, but the audio was out of sync, so I fixed that, and changed a few slides, so I hope y'all like it. It's a modern classic by the great Tom Lehrer. Tags: Hanukkah Chanukah Hanukah Chanuka Kwanza Christmas Tom Lehrer |

Jack E. Leonard One of the best of the Borsht Belt comics of the 1960s. He did a lot of 'insult humor', which inspired many imitators such as Don Rickles, but Jack E. Leonard did it better. Tags: Borsht Belt Stand-up Comedian |

Spike Jones featuring Mickey Katz (1947) This clip gives us a rare and wonderful look at Spike Jones hilarity, with the added delight of seeing Mickey Katz (the short, bald guy playing clarinet) goofing around with the band and even doing his trademark "glugg-glugg". Mickey went on from there to write his Yiddish parodies and the rest is history, Tags: Spike Jones Mickey Katz |
