For Swingin' Livers Only

The album title is an homage to Frank Sinatra s famous 1956 album Songs for Swingin Lovers , and indeed Allan makes no bones about which side of the popular music divide he stands on with Pop Hates the Beatles! . This Top 40 album also includes such gems as The Twelve Gifts of Christmas ; Grow, Mrs. Goldfarb (the portly Mr. Sherman s funniest fat song, sung to the melody of The Glow-Worm ); Your Mother s Here to Stay ; Pills ; Shine On, Harvey Bloom ; J.C. Cohen (in which legendary railroad engineer Casey Jones becomes a New York subway conductor); Beautiful Teamsters ; Kiss of Myer ; America s a Nice Italian Name , and Bye Bye Blumberg .
