This was a direct parody of Jimmy Dean’s “Big Bad John”. Frank Gallop was a deep-voiced “urbane”-sounding announcer who was Milton Berle’s announcer/foil on his 1947-’48 radio show, and Perry Como’s off-screen announcer for years on his TV variety series. Gallop also narrated the first “Casper” cartoons for Famous Studios/Paramount in the late ’40s.

The “10-gallon yarmulke” version (my favorite) can be found on the “Dr. Demento 20-th Anniversary” CD set. The “Shlepping of salami” version is on the double-CD “You Don’t Have To Be Jewish”/”When You’re In Love The Whole World Is Jewish.”

That was from the album “when your in love, the whole world is Jewish”. Have not heard that in 30 years. If you find one, please let me know
When I heard this …
When I heard this song for the first time (way back in 1966), I was nine years old going on ten, and there were no Jews anywhere in my
neighborhood, so I had no ides what on Earth a
yarmulke or bar-mitzvah was but I still got a
kick out of the song. I’ll be 52 later this
year (2008). I’ve met people from all over and
now I know what these terms mean. I enjoy this
tune a whole lot more, with this knowledge.
