Listening to or reading his lyrics is a crash course in pop culture of the 1960s, with Sherman taking satiric swipes at summer camp, psychiatry, fad diets, Hadassah ladies, school dropouts, and upward mobility.
The popularity of his parodies got him many guest appearances on TV variety shows.
We just came across a rare recording of Sherman singing "Me", a parody of "Come Back to Sorrento", a funny description of many of his body parts. Here is the video of him singing the song, followed by a video clip of Luciano Pavarotti singing "Sorrento", the basis for Sherman's takeoff.
Enjoy!
