Allan Sherman had a huge repertory of parody songs, so huge that we keep finding some on the Internet that we had missed when listening to his many albums.
One such song is Westchester Hadassah, a parody of the song Winchester Cathedral, released in 1966 by The New Vaudeville Band, a British novelty group established by the song's composer, Geoff Stephens.
It reached No.1 in Canada on the RPM 100 national singles charts co-charting with the Dana Rollin version, and shortly thereafter in the U.S. on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song won the 1967 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary (R&R) Recording, despite not being a rock and roll song.
Enjoy!
