    Back to early days of Ted Tocks Covers.

    Fifty years ago today, comedy songwriter and parodist Allan Sherman died. Here is a brief story about his career and how he inspired writers like Weird Al Yankovic

    He developed poison ivy
    You remember Leonard Skinner
    He got Ptomaine poisoning last night after dinner”
