August 3, 1963 –
Allan Sherman released Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah (A Letter from Camp), in the US on this date.
Sherman was a writer on The Steve Allen Show and created the game show I’ve Got a Secret. He went on to record comedy albums. The song won a 1964 Grammy Award for comedy.
And somehow in the same universe, The Beach Boys’ Surfer Girl was released on this date as well. (This is the first song Brian Wilson ever wrote and the first one he produced.)
The B-side of the single was Little Deuce Coupe.
