Although not much to look at, the overweight, balding, short, Jewish man gained popularity and became quite the star because of his witty infusion of satirical comedy into very well orchestrated renditions of classic tunes and songs. A song would usually have a lyric, perhaps a name or phrase, that has very little to do with what the original song was about, but the words would sound similar. His albums had nothing to hide, either, as each one was recorded live, and all the laughter, and occasionally a lack thereof, could be heard.
Sherman was just a television producer, most famous for the quiz show "I've Got a Secret," not at all known as a comedian or performer, and it shocked everyone in the know when songs from his album My Son, The Folk Singer became popular. In fact, president John F. Kennedy was heard singing the song Sarah Jackman. Sherman's overnight popularity suddenly ended when the nation's attention focused on Kennedy's assassination, and the nation was too sad for such up-beat musical offerings.
Sherman then slipped back into his longtime depression, and died, quietly, at the young age of 48.

I just heard this this morning driving to work on WOAM-FM - Peoria. Cracked me up! Always loved Allen Sherman but was unaware of this jewel. Thanks so much for posting it with the lyrics. A true Christmas classic! One I'll have to add to my collection.

For those who don't know, the line for the 5th day of Christmas was originally "a statue of a naked lady with a clock, where her stomach ought to be". For whatever reason, the "naked lady" lyric was only present in the original 1963 release, and then the re-release after that in the year following removed the "naked" part.

I like it when they have holes in the case so that you can listen to it right through the case

With fringe all around it
He got that from IKEA. (some assembly required)
Also, this makes me think that there should be a parody of The 12 Days of Christmas, based on Popeil inventions.
It would have to start out with "On the first day of Christmas ??? gave to me a steel girder glued to my head".
