"Shticks of One and Half a Dozen of Another" is a delightful collection of comedic songs by the legendary Allan Sherman, released in October 2015 under Mach60 Music. This album is a testament to Sherman's unique humor and his ability to craft witty, engaging lyrics that stand the test of time.
Clocking in at just over half an hour, this album is a quick but memorable journey through Sherman's signature style of parody and satire. The tracklist is a mix of original compositions and clever reimaginings of classic tunes, all delivered with Sherman's distinctive charm. Standout tracks include "The Bronx Bird Watcher," a humorous take on birdwatching, and "No One's Perfect," a song that ponders the flaws of various historical figures.
Fans of Sherman's previous work, such as "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh!" and "Downtown," will find plenty to enjoy here. The album's brevity makes it an excellent introduction for newcomers to Sherman's comedy, while longtime fans will appreciate the fresh material.
