Harvey

[Zeldman]

That must have been one heck of a storm. Mississippi is gone.!!!

ooops.....

 

[AggieMike88]

Now that's funny right there

 

[AggieMike88]

Ithe next hurricane needs to names Shirley so this song from Allen Sherman (of Hello Muddah Hello Faddah fame) can be relevant again...

 

[Jim_R]

Except the song is called "Harvey and Sheila", not Shirley...

 

[SkyDog58]

Not that it would be a bad thing.

 

[FastEddieB]

"Harvey and Irma" doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

Sherman's song was a parody of "Hava Nagila".

But damn, are we showing our age or what?

Fat fingers and iPad autocorrect strike again...

Yeah, but the music is still funny.

Does anyone else remember one that starts out,

"She wheels her wheelbarrow
Through streets that are narrow
Her barrow is narrow
Her hips are too wide..."

I always thought you had to be Jewish to "get" Alan Sherman!

What's a Nagila?

 

[FastEddieB]

What's a Nagila?

It's what comes after "Hava", of course!

I thought "Tampa" came after "Hava".

 

[Clark1961]

I thought "Tampa" came after "Hava".

I'm sure "beer" comes after hava

 

[FormerHangie]

No, it's that famous old Jewish drinking song, "Hava Tequila".

Weird Al Yankovic is the true inheritor of Allan Sherman. Or perhaps the reincarnation?

Given the intellectual capacity of the modern day journalist and their editors... nothing surprises me anymore.

Alan Sherman was a hoot. And, no, I'm not Jewish. Just loved his songs when growing up in the 1960s.
