One of the biggest hit songs of 1963 was by a comedian named Allan Sherman. It was sung to the tune of Ponchielli's "Dance of the Hours," and it detailed the horrors of a place called Granada. What was the title of that song?

Answer 1

The title of the song by Allan Sherman was "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh! (A Letter from Camp)".

Step-by-step explanation:

The title of the song by comedian Allan Sherman sung to the tune of Ponchielli's "Dance of the Hours" and detailing the horrors of a place called Granada is "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh! (A Letter from Camp)". The song was a humorous take on the experiences of a child at summer camp, using the catchy melody of "Dance of the Hours" as its backdrop.

This song parodies the experience of a stay at Camp Granada and is sung to the tune of Amilcare Ponchielli's Dance of the Hours. Sherman’s song humorously details various comical and exaggerated mishaps at a summer camp.
